Product Overview
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring tripeptide made up of glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine, bound to copper (II).
It has been widely studied in laboratory research on tissue repair, angiogenesis, and inflammatory signaling. It has also been explored in stem cell activation studies and hair follicle biology research. This makes it a useful compound for biochemical and dermatological research.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What does each vial contain?
Each vial contains 100mg of GHK-Cu as a lyophilized powder.
Q2. What does the product look like?
A blue to bluish-green powder. The color comes from the copper complex.
Q3. Why is GHK-Cu blue?
The GHK peptide binds copper (II) ions, and that bond forms the blue-colored complex.
Q4. How should it be stored?
Keep it at –20°C and away from light. Stored this way, the lyophilized powder remains stable for up to 24 months.
Q5. Is the vial sterile?
It is sealed under sterile manufacturing conditions. Once opened, it should be handled using sterile technique.
Q6. Is this product for human use?
No. It is for laboratory research only and is not approved for medical or veterinary use.
Q7. Why is GHK-Cu studied in research?
It has been studied in research on collagen synthesis, tissue repair, and hair follicle biology.
Q8. Has this product been third-party tested?
Yes. It has been tested by Janoshik, with purity listed at 99%+ (HPLC-UV) (Report #211878). A separate heavy metals analysis is also available (Report #211881). Both reports can be viewed through the COA / Testing links on this page.
Q9. How is the product packaged?
In a 10mL borosilicate glass vial sealed with a butyl rubber stopper and an aluminum crimp closure.
Q10. Is it stable during shipping?
Lyophilized GHK-Cu remains stable at ambient shipping temperatures. Move it to –20°C storage as soon as it arrives.
