At a glance
Side by side:
- : , and in a 70 mg lyophilized vial.
- : the same three plus , in an 80 mg lyophilized vial.
- Both: no single formula, because each is a blend. Each lot has its own COA that reports the blend.

The difference:
is lysine–proline–valine, the last three amino acids of α-MSH. Papers describe it as the smallest α-MSH sequence with anti-inflammatory activity in lab models, and it has been studied in mouse models of intestinal inflammation since 2008.

How to compare them
No study cited here tested either finished blend. Each paper describes one component on its own, so the literature lines up component by component.
The practical questions are whether a protocol calls for the fourth component, and which vial size fits it. For concentration math, divide the vial’s content by the volume of water added, or use the reconstitution calculator.
05
Checking either blend
Read identity, purity and measured content separately on the lot’s COA, and match the lot number to your vial. Step by step: how to read a peptide COA.
