GHK-Cu (Peptide)
Injectable research-grade GHK-Cu kit (10 vials) for subcutaneous research models.
Class
Copper-binding tripeptide — injectable research peptide
Half-life
Short (minutes systemic)
Studied in
Skin remodelling, hair follicle biology, wound and soft-tissue repair studies.
What it is
GHK-Cu (Peptide) is the subcutaneous-injection research version of the copper-binding tripeptide GHK-Cu, supplied as a 10-vial kit for reconstitution and parenteral research use — distinct from the topical cosmetic-grade 1 g vial.
Mechanism studied
Copper chaperone modulating ECM, antioxidant gene expression and dermal/soft-tissue remodelling.
Research notes
- Commonly handled in laboratory settings at 50 mg or 100 mg per vial.
- For subcutaneous injection in research use only — NOT a topical cosmetic preparation.
- Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water; store reconstituted vials refrigerated.
Before sourcing any material
- Confirm a lot-matched third-party certificate of analysis (HPLC purity and mass-spectrometry identity).
- Check the stated peptide content per vial, not just the gross vial mass.
- Plan reconstitution volumes first so the vial size matches your protocol.
- Verify what is lawful in your jurisdiction — these are in-vitro research reagents, not medicines.
