Questions, answered
What is GHK-Cu?
GHK-Cu (GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1)) is a research peptide studied in research on skin-regeneration research and wound-healing models. It is supplied strictly as a research material.
How is GHK-Cu classified?
It is a research peptide, also known as Copper Peptide, GHK-Copper, and Glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper.
How should GHK-Cu be stored?
The documented condition is −20°C, desiccated, light-protected. Keep it cold, dry, desiccated, and light-protected; reconstituted material is refrigerated and shorter-lived.
How is GHK-Cu reconstituted?
By dissolving the 50 mg vial in bacteriostatic water. The concentration is set by mass ÷ solvent volume. For example, 50 mg in 1 mL gives 50 mg/mL. This is laboratory preparation math, not a dose.
How is the quality of GHK-Cu verified?
It is documented at ≥98% (HPLC + LC-MS verified) and third-party tested, with identity by LC-MS and purity by HPLC. A certificate of analysis is available for the batch.
Is GHK-Cu for human use?
No. For research use only. Not for human consumption, diagnostic, or therapeutic use. It is not for human or animal consumption and carries no medical, therapeutic, or diagnostic use.
How does GHK-Cu compare to BPC-157?
They are distinct research compounds with different reported targets: GHK-Cu with copper transport, BPC-157 with nitric-oxide (eNOS) signaling. See the GHK-Cu vs BPC-157 comparison for a neutral breakdown. Neither is presented as "better."
