what each one is
Glutathione
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.

Synthetic 28-amino-acid thymic peptide
Thymosin Alpha-1 is a 28-amino-acid peptide corresponding to a sequence originally characterized in thymic tissue extracts, where it was identified as part of the prothymosin alpha precursor. Verve supplies it as a high-purity synthetic research compound for the laboratory study of peptide-mediated immunological signaling.
