What is Ipamorelin and what is NAD+?
Ipamorelin is classified as Synthetic pentapeptide secretagogue; NAD+ as Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide · cellular-metabolism research. 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.
Ipamorelin
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.

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide · cellular-metabolism research
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme present in every living cell and central to redox reactions and cellular energy metabolism. Verve's NAD+ is a high-purity research preparation supplied for the laboratory study of cellular energetics and redox biology.
