what each one is
Epitalon
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.

Redox-active tripeptide · cellular redox research
Glutathione is a tripeptide composed of glutamate, cysteine, and glycine (γ-glutamylcysteinylglycine) and the principal redox-active thiol found inside the cell. Verve supplies a high-purity research preparation for the study of cellular redox chemistry.
