GHK-Cu 100mg

GHK-Cu 100mg is a research-grade copper tripeptide (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine:copper) supplied for laboratory study of skin, collagen, and regenerative signaling. Every batch is HPLC-tested and ships with a batch-specific third-party Certificate of Analysis (COA) confirming identity and 99%+ purity. For laboratory and research use only. Not for human consumption. This product is not a drug, supplement, food, or cosmetic and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Research Applications

GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide extensively studied in dermal and regenerative research. In-vitro and preclinical models explore its role in collagen and extracellular-matrix synthesis, antioxidant activity, wound-remodeling signaling, and gene-expression modulation. The 100mg presentation supports both cosmetic-science and regenerative research programs.

Purity & Verification

Every lot is analyzed by reversed-phase HPLC and, where applicable, mass spectrometry to confirm compound identity and 99%+ purity. A batch-specific, third-party Certificate of Analysis (COA) is included in the product gallery so researchers can confirm purity and identity before use. Supplied as a lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder; store sealed, cool, dry, and protected from light, and reconstitute per standard laboratory handling. Fast, tracked shipping from within the United States.

Peptide Research & Literature

GHK-Cu (copper tripeptide-1) is one of the longest-studied copper-binding peptides in the tissue-repair and dermatology literature, with foundational work dating back to Dr. Loren Pickart's original research. The following peer-reviewed sources may be useful background reading:

Frequently Asked Questions

What is GHK-Cu studied for?
Collagen synthesis, extracellular-matrix remodeling, and antioxidant signaling in dermal and regenerative research models.

What does the 'Cu' mean?
Cu denotes the copper ion complexed with the GHK tripeptide, which is central to its studied activity.

What purity is this GHK-Cu?
HPLC-verified to 99%+ purity with a batch-specific third-party COA in the gallery.

Is this a skincare product?
No. It is a research chemical for laboratory use only, not a cosmetic or product for human application.

How should GHK-Cu be stored?
Short-term storage at 2-8°C and long-term storage below -10°C, protected from light and moisture, is recommended to preserve peptide stability for research use.

How is GHK-Cu supplied and shipped?
GHK-Cu is supplied as a sealed, lyophilized powder vial and shipped with the batch-specific Certificate of Analysis included.

What documentation comes with each order?
Each order includes a full third-party Certificate of Analysis confirming HPLC purity, mass spectrometry identity, peptide content, water content, endotoxin, and residual solvent results for that specific batch.

Does GHK-Cu require reconstitution before laboratory use?
As a lyophilized powder, GHK-Cu is typically reconstituted with an appropriate solvent, such as bacteriostatic water, by qualified researchers prior to use in laboratory assays.
