Product Details
GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1) is a naturally occurring copper complex widely studied for its diverse regenerative properties and systemic signaling capabilities. In an oral capsule format, research focuses on its ability to modulate gene expression related to tissue remodeling, antioxidant defense, and the maintenance of the gastric mucosal barrier. This formulation is specifically designed to evaluate the peptide’s influence on systemic copper-dependent enzymatic pathways and intestinal integrity.
This oral capsule formulation provides 2 mg per capsule and is packaged in a 60-count bottle to support precise and consistent administration in longitudinal laboratory research protocols.
Specifications
Dosage Form: Oral capsule (2 mg per capsule)
Bottle Size: 60 capsules
Compound Type: Copper-binding signaling tripeptide
Molecular Weight: 340.38 g/mol (GHK) | 403.9 g/mol (GHK-Cu)
Storage: Keep tightly sealed in a cool, dry environment (2°C–8°C). Protect from heat, light, and moisture to prevent oxidation of the copper complex.
Application Context
GHK-Cu is studied in vitro and in vivo for its potential involvement in:
Gastric Mucosal Repair: Evaluating the reinforcement of the stomach lining and intestinal tight junctions.
Systemic DNA Modulation: Investigating the "resetting" of gene expression toward a regenerative, youthful state.
Antioxidant Defense: Activation of Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) and reduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6).
Extracellular Matrix Remodeling: Signaling for increased collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycan synthesis.
Stem Cell Function: Researching the proliferation of basal keratinocytes and mesenchymal stem cells.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are GHK-Cu capsules?
+
GHK-Cu capsules contain a research-grade preparation of the copper-binding tripeptide glycyl-histidyl-lysine (GHK) bound to a copper(II) ion, in oral capsule form. The capsule format is studied separately from lyophilized vial preparations because oral and parenteral routes have different absorption profiles. Supplied strictly for Research Use Only.
How do GHK-Cu capsules differ from GHK-Cu lyophilized vials?
+
Lyophilized vials contain freeze-dried GHK-Cu for reconstitution research. Capsules are an oral preparation studied for systemic copper transport and gut-axis research. Published research distinguishes the two delivery routes because absorption and tissue distribution differ between oral and reconstituted forms.
What are GHK-Cu capsules used for in research?
+
GHK-Cu capsules are studied in preclinical research on copper-dependent enzyme activity, oral copper bioavailability, antioxidant pathway research, and systemic copper homeostasis. All cited studies are conducted in rodent or in-vitro systems consistent with RUO classification.
