What is Epitalon and what is BPC-157 + TB-500?
Epitalon is classified as Synthetic tetrapeptide; BPC-157 + TB-500 as Co-formulated two-peptide research blend. 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.

Co-formulated two-peptide research blend
BPC-157 + TB-500 is a co-formulated research blend that combines two of the most frequently cited reference peptides in tissue-repair literature, BPC-157 / TB-500, in a single vial. BPC-157 is a synthetic pentadecapeptide derived from a partial sequence identified in human gastric juice; TB-500 is a synthetic 43-amino-acid peptide corresponding to an active fragment of thymosin beta-4, a naturally-occurring actin-binding protein.
full BPC-157 + TB-500 profile →Which research models is each compound studied in?
