what each one is
CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin
Co-formulated GHRH-analog and secretagogue blend
CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin is a co-formulated research blend of two peptides that act at separate receptors. CJC-1295 without DAC, also referred to as Mod GRF 1-29, is a modified 29-amino-acid analog of growth-hormone-releasing hormone characterized as a GHRH-receptor agonist. Ipamorelin is a synthetic pentapeptide characterized as a selective agonist at the growth-hormone secretagogue receptor, GHS-R1a.

Synthetic tetrapeptide
Epitalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide with the sequence alanyl-glutamyl-aspartyl-glycine (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly), developed as a short synthetic analog of a peptide fraction isolated from the pineal gland. It is a small, water-soluble peptide and one of the most frequently cited reference compounds in pineal-peptide and cellular-aging research literature.

What is CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin?
It is a co-formulated research blend of CJC-1295 without DAC (also called Mod GRF 1-29), a GHRH analog, and ipamorelin, a selective GHS-R1a agonist. Verve supplies it as a research compound for laboratory use only, not for human or veterinary use.
What is the difference between CJC-1295 with and without DAC?
The DAC (drug affinity complex) modification is a chemical addition studied for its effect on the analog's circulating half-life in pre-clinical models. The no-DAC form, Mod GRF 1-29, lacks that modification and is the component used in this blend.
What is Epitalon?
Epitalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) based on a peptide fraction identified in the pineal gland. Verve supplies it as a research compound for laboratory use only, not for human or veterinary use.
What is Epitalon studied for in research?
In in-vitro and pre-clinical research it is used as a reference compound in telomerase-expression, gene-regulation, cellular-senescence, and pineal-peptide signaling models. Verve makes no claims about use in humans or animals.
