I am 51. I run an HR department for a mid-sized company. For the past two years I have been navigating perimenopause while trying to maintain the same performance level I have held for 20 years. Conventional options were not giving me the answers I needed so I started researching.
This is not a medical journal. This is my personal research documentation. I am not a doctor and nothing here should be taken as medical advice.
"I track energy levels, mood variance, sleep quality, and inflammatory markers every week. If I am going to make decisions about my research protocol I want data to back them up."
Why KPV
KPV (Lys-Pro-Val) is a tripeptide fragment that appears in published in vitro research on anti-inflammatory signaling pathways, specifically NF-kB pathway modulation in cell culture models. The inflammatory component was what caught my attention. I am not claiming KPV treats perimenopause. I am documenting my personal tracking data alongside the published cell culture science.
COA Verification
I source through Solara Peptide Research. Their KPV is Janoshik verified at 99.59% purity — test #106535, independently verifiable. I checked the test URL before placing my first order.
60-Day Tracking Data
| Metric | Baseline | Day 30 | Day 60 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Subjective energy (1–10) | 4.5 | 6.2 | 7.4 |
| Mood variance score (1–10) | 6.8 | 5.1 | 4.2 |
| Sleep quality (Oura score) | 68 | 74 | 79 |
| hs-CRP (mg/L) | 3.8 | 2.9 | 2.1 |
| Afternoon fatigue onset (hrs) | 2.0 | 3.5 | 4.8 |
| Joint stiffness (1–10) | 5.5 | 4.0 | 3.2 |
I had bloodwork done at baseline and day 60 through my primary care physician — I disclosed everything to my doctor before beginning this research protocol. The hs-CRP decrease is the data point I find most interesting and plan to continue tracking.
Continuing to 90 Days
I am extending the protocol to 90 days and adding a second blood panel. I will publish the full dataset including lab results (with personal identifiers removed) in my next journal entry.
