Description
GHK-Cu (Copper tripeptide-1) is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide (Gly-His-Lys). It is studied in skin, tissue-remodeling, and regenerative research, including work on collagen and extracellular-matrix signaling.
What researchers study
- Skin and collagen research
- Tissue-remodeling and wound models
- Copper-transport and ECM signaling
Handling & storage
Supplied as a lyophilized powder for reconstitution with bacteriostatic water (not included). Store at −20 °C (−4 °F), protected from light. Every lot is independently tested against a 99%+ purity release target, and the batch Certificate of Analysis is published in full on this page.
Research Use Only (RUO). Not for human or animal consumption, nor for therapeutic, diagnostic, or cosmetic use; to be handled only by qualified professionals in a controlled research setting.
Identity and specification
GHK-Cu is also referred to as Copper tripeptide-1, Glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper and GHK copper peptide. It has the molecular formula C14H21CuN6O4- and a molecular weight of 400.90 g/mol.
How this lot was tested
The GHK-Cu currently in stock measured 99.80% for the 50 mg (lot GHKCU012), tested by Vanguard Laboratory (ISO 17025 accredited). The full certificate is published on this site as a free download — including the raw chromatogram and mass spectrum, so the figure can be read off the underlying data rather than taken on trust.
We use two independent laboratories, and each certificate says which produced it. Vanguard Laboratory is ISO 17025:2017 accredited (A2LA certificate #6377.01.01) and reports chromatographic purity and net quantity with a stated measurement uncertainty. Freedom Diagnostics reports HPLC-UV purity together with LC-MS identity confirmation, which is what verifies the vial contains the compound on the label rather than merely a pure something. Two laboratories, two methods, both published — see how we test.
Commonly studied alongside
In the literature GHK-Cu is most often examined together with BPC-157, TB-500 and KPV. Reconstitution is the same for all of them — see the reconstitution guide and the calculator, and the storage guide for how long reconstituted material holds. Current pricing for every compound and size is on the price list.
