Studies on collagen and elastin production

Animal-model wound-healing research

Research on copper-dependent enzymes like SOD and lysyl oxidase

Hair-follicle culture studies

Handling notes: The copper-bound form is bright blue in solution. Avoid mixing with strong reducing agents that could pull the copper off.

Glow is a mixed lyophilized vial containing three peptides that researchers frequently study together for tissue-repair work: TB-500, BPC-157, and GHK-Cu. Each one comes at the repair process from a different angle, which is why they're often combined in published animal-model studies.

What's in the vial:

TB-500 — a fragment of thymosin-β4, studied in cell-skeleton remodeling and cell migration
BPC-157 — a stomach-derived peptide widely studied in tissue-repair animal models
GHK-Cu — a copper-binding tripeptide studied in fibroblast biology and skin research

Why they're combined in research: The three peptides target different parts of the repair process — cell skeleton, growth-factor signaling, matrix building — and have been combined in published animal-model work to look at additive effects. Each component has its own product page with more detail.

Handling notes: All three components are stable in the dry powder form. Once reconstituted, use within 30 days.

Epithalon (sometimes spelled Epitalon) is one of the smallest peptides on the market — just four amino acids: Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly. It was originally identified as a fragment of a longer pineal-gland-derived compound called Epithalamin. Despite its size, it's been a frequent subject of telomere and aging research.

How it's been studied: The most-cited research has looked at whether Epithalon influences telomerase — the enzyme that maintains the protective caps on the ends of chromosomes — in cultured human cells. Other lab work has examined effects on circadian rhythm and the pineal gland in animal models.

Where you'll see it in research:

Cell-culture studies of telomerase activity in human fibroblasts
Research on cellular aging and senescence
Animal-model studies of circadian-rhythm and pineal-gland function
Gene-expression profiling of telomere-related proteins

Handling notes: Small peptides break down faster than larger ones — keep reconstituted solutions cold, minimize freeze-thaw cycles.

NAD+ (the oxidized form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is one of the most important molecules inside every cell. It shuttles electrons during energy production and is the fuel for sirtuin enzymes (involved in cell-aging research), PARP enzymes (DNA repair), and CD38 (immune signaling). In the lab, it's a standard reference compound.

How it's been studied: Researchers use NAD+ in two main ways: as the substrate in enzyme-activity assays (especially sirtuin and PARP assays), and as a reference for measuring the cellular NAD+/NADH ratio — a popular readout of metabolic health in cultured cells.

Where you'll see it in research:

Sirtuin-enzyme activity assays in vitro
Cell-culture studies of how cells make and recycle NAD+
HPLC and mass-spec measurement of NAD+/NADH ratios
CD38 and PARP enzyme research

Handling notes: Pulls moisture from the air and degrades at extreme pH. Store dry; reconstitute fresh for kinetic assays where possible.
