What is Epitalon and what is Ipamorelin?
Epitalon is classified as Synthetic tetrapeptide; Ipamorelin as Synthetic pentapeptide secretagogue. 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.
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 pentapeptide secretagogue
Ipamorelin is a synthetic pentapeptide and a selective growth-hormone secretagogue, meaning it is characterized in the literature as an agonist at the growth-hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R1a), the same receptor targeted by the endogenous ligand ghrelin. Its selectivity profile is the reason it is so frequently chosen as a reference agonist in receptor-signaling work.
