GHK-Cu is a copper-binding tripeptide composed of glycine, histidine, and lysine bound to a copper(II) ion. It is a naturally occurring molecule first isolated from human plasma. In research, it is studied for tissue remodeling, fibroblast signaling, and copper transport mechanisms. Supplied strictly for Research Use Only.
Cu is the chemical symbol for copper. The peptide's biological activity in research models depends on its 1:1 chelation of a copper(II) ion. GHK without copper (free GHK peptide) shows different binding kinetics and a different research profile.
GHK-Cu is studied in preclinical research on extracellular matrix remodeling, fibroblast and keratinocyte signaling, hair follicle research, dermal wound model studies, and copper-dependent enzyme research. All cited studies are conducted in cellular or rodent systems.

Research-grade GHK-Cu copper peptide, 50mg & 100mg lyophilized vials. Third-party tested, COA included. For research use only.
Lyophilized vials contain GHK-Cu in freeze-dried powder for reconstitution. Capsules are an oral research preparation. The two routes have different absorption and bioavailability profiles in published research models.
Every batch of GHK-Cu ships with a third-party COA verifying purity by HPLC (>=99%), identity by mass spectrometry, and lyophilized mass. The batch-specific COA is published on this product page before purchase.
Lyophilized GHK-Cu is stored at -20C for long-term storage and 2-8C for short-term use within 30 days. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Store in original sealed vials, protected from light.
GHK-Cu is used in cosmetic formulations under various regional regulatory frameworks but is not FDA-approved as a therapeutic. The product supplied here is for laboratory and research use only and is not approved for diagnostic, therapeutic, or human use.
