GHK-Cu

Description

GHK-Cu is a copper-binding tripeptide and one of the most researched compounds in dermal and collagen studies. It is easy to identify once reconstituted – the copper complex gives a distinctive blue solution.

Research context

• Collagen synthesis and dermal remodelling models
• Wound-model and skin-repair research
• Copper-transport and antioxidant studies

Handling and storage

Keep the lyophilized powder cold and dry; reconstituted solution is refrigerated and protected from light.

Common questions

Why is the solution blue?

The peptide binds copper, and the copper complex is what gives the reconstituted solution its blue colour. It is expected, not a fault.

Which vial size is typical?

GHK-Cu is supplied in larger masses than most peptides – 50mg and 100mg – because typical working concentrations in dermal research are higher.
