Long before modern labs existed, living things were already making their own molecular defenders. Antimicrobial peptides are short chains of amino acids found across nature, from frogs and insects to plants and people.
LL-37 is the only member of the cathelicidin family identified in humans. It is cut from a larger precursor protein called hCAP18, and its name tells its story: 37 amino acids long, beginning with two leucines (L-L).
Researchers study LL-37 in controlled laboratory models to better understand how innate defense molecules interact with cell membranes.

Some research questions involve more than one molecule at a time. Peptide blends combine multiple peptides into a single lyophilized (freeze-dried) vial, so researchers can work with a defined combination from one source.
KLOW is an 80mg research blend. Every lot’s exact composition and purity is documented on its Certificate of Analysis, so researchers know exactly what is in each vial.
Lyophilization removes water at low temperature and pressure, which helps keep peptides stable during storage and shipping.
