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.

Synthetic heptapeptide
Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide, a seven-amino-acid chain built from the endogenous immunomodulatory tetrapeptide tuftsin with a C-terminal Pro-Gly-Pro extension added to increase stability. Verve supplies it as a high-purity research compound for neuroscience and peptide-signaling research.

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.
What is Selank?
Selank is a synthetic seven-amino-acid peptide derived from the tetrapeptide tuftsin with a stabilizing Pro-Gly-Pro extension. Verve supplies it as a research compound for laboratory use only.
What is Selank studied for in research?
It is used as a model neuropeptide in GABAergic and monoaminergic signaling research, neurotrophic gene-expression studies, and peptide-stability work. It is not for human or veterinary use.
