What is CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin and what is Thymosin Alpha-1?
CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin is classified as Co-formulated GHRH-analog and secretagogue blend; Thymosin Alpha-1 as Synthetic 28-amino-acid thymic peptide. Both profiles below cover scientific identity only — what the molecule is and which laboratory models it appears in. Verve supplies both strictly as in-vitro reference materials, and neither profile describes human or veterinary use.
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.

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 Thymosin Alpha-1?
Thymosin Alpha-1 is a synthetic 28-amino-acid peptide based on a sequence characterized in thymic tissue. Verve supplies it as a research compound for laboratory use only, not for human or veterinary use.
What is Thymosin Alpha-1 studied for in research?
It is used as a reference compound in immunological-signaling research, including T-cell differentiation models, Toll-like receptor pathway studies, and cytokine-expression profiling in cultured cells. Verve makes no health claims.
