Overview

Description

GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1) is a high-purity copper-peptide complex comprising the sequence Gly-His-Lys chelated with copper(II). This potent complex has been extensively studied for its ability to stimulate skin repair and collagen synthesis.

Mechanism of Action

GHK-Cu modulates multiple cellular pathways in skin regeneration, stimulating collagen production and enhancing tissue strength (Pickart et al., 2015). The complex activates fibroblasts and promotes angiogenesis with documented anti-aging properties (Dou et al., 2020).

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is GHK-Cu?

GHK-Cu is a research compound supplied for in-vitro laboratory use. Also known as GHK Cu, Copper Peptide, Copper Tripeptide, Copper Tripeptide-1. Mechanism class: Gly-His-Lys:Cu. Supplied for tissue repair laboratory research. A third-party Certificate of Analysis is published for the current lot. Research Use Only — not for human or veterinary use.

What purity is GHK-Cu?

The current Certificate of Analysis for GHK-Cu reports 99.937% purity by HPLC (Accumark Labs report JWJT-9WMJ).

Does GHK-Cu include a Certificate of Analysis?

Yes. Accumark Labs report JWJT-9WMJ for GHK-Cu is on our COA page, with a link to the lab's own report.

How should GHK-Cu be stored?

GHK-Cu is supplied as a lyophilized powder. Store it at −20°C or below, protected from light and moisture — lyophilized material is stable frozen. Once reconstituted, keep it refrigerated and avoid freeze-thaw cycles.

How is GHK-Cu shipped?

Orders ship at a $15 flat rate, free on orders of $200 or more, in discreet, insulated packaging. Domestic delivery takes 2–3 business days — 2-day across California, nearby Nevada, and on orders of $250+.

Can GHK-Cu be used on humans or animals?

No. GHK-Cu is supplied strictly for in-vitro laboratory research. It is not for human or veterinary use, consumption, or diagnostic or clinical applications.

Is GHK-Cu the same as GHK Cu?

Yes. GHK-Cu is also spelled or referred to as GHK Cu, Copper Peptide, Copper Tripeptide, Copper Tripeptide-1. These are naming variants of the same compound, not different products.

What is the CAS number for GHK-Cu?

GHK-Cu's CAS Registry Number is 89030-95-5, per PubChem (CID 71587328).

How do I verify the GHK-Cu Certificate of Analysis is real?

Open the lab report link on our certificate page — it goes to Accumark Labs's own verification portal, not a file we host, so the result can't be edited by us. Confirm the report ID (JWJT-9WMJ) and figures match what's shown here.
