GHK-Cu (50mg)

What is GHK-Cu (Copper Peptide)?

GHK-Cu is the copper complex of GHK, a three-amino-acid peptide made from glycine, histidine and lysine. This catalog offers a 50mg research vial, not a finished skincare product.

Listed vial contents: 50mg. These are supplied quantities, not administration doses. Current pricing and availability are shown in the strength selector.

Which identity should I verify?

GHK and GHK-Cu are different chemical identities. Check copper complex, salt form and molecular weight in a matching original lot document; a value for free GHK does not establish the mass of its copper complex.

What mechanisms are being studied?

Researchers study how GHK-Cu affects cell signals and the extracellular matrix: the material that supports cells. Published work explores gene expression, collagen-related processes and responses to tissue injury.

What are the research questions?

• Cell and matrix responses to copper-peptide complexes
• Gene-expression changes in experimental systems
• Skin and wound-repair research with formulation-specific evidence

What does the published work describe?

Pickart and Margolina's 2018 review brings together cell, animal and topical-skin research. A review summarizes earlier studies; it is not a controlled trial of this 50mg vial. Gene-expression findings do not show that a product reverses aging in people.

What could future research explore?

The literature motivates further work on matrix remodeling and tissue responses. Translation into future treatments would require a defined formulation, controlled studies and safety evaluation for that specific application.

These are research directions, not established applications of the product sold here.

What are the limits of this evidence?

Findings depend on the model and formulation. Topical findings cannot establish the effects of a different preparation or route. The cited review does not validate this catalog vial as a human treatment.

How should I check lot documentation?

Match the product, strength and lot to an original analysis document. Literature describes experimental findings; it does not verify the contents of this inventory. A report is evidence only for the product, strength and lot it names.

How is GHK-Cu (Copper Peptide) handled in the lab?

Plan a GHK-Cu (Copper Peptide) stock solution from the sequence, the listed molecular weight (340.38 g/mol) and, when reported for the same lot, net peptide content. Test-dissolve a small portion first, store the powder sealed, cold and dry, and split solutions into single-use aliquots. These are laboratory handling notes, not administration guidance.

• Peptide solubility: choosing a lab solvent
• Stock solution molarity and concentration math
• Lyophilized storage, aliquoting and freeze-thaw
• Fmoc vs Boc synthesis and the impurities they leave
