What Is GHK-Cu?

GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring tripeptide (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine) complexed with copper(II), originally isolated from human plasma. Each vial from Genetic Peptides USA is manufactured for in-vitro and laboratory research and is shipped from within the USA.

GHK-Cu Research Context

GHK-Cu is widely studied in skin and dermal research, including collagen and glycosaminoglycan synthesis in fibroblast cultures, gene-expression profiling, and antioxidant activity. The information on this page summarizes published scientific context for educational purposes and is not a claim of any therapeutic effect.

Purity and Third-Party Testing

Every batch of GHK-Cu is independently third-party tested using HPLC (high-performance liquid chromatography) for purity and mass spectrometry (MS) for identity confirmation. Where a Certificate of Analysis is available for the current lot, it is displayed on this page. Researchers should verify the lot number on the vial against the COA for their records.

Storage and Handling of Lyophilized GHK-Cu

GHK-Cu is supplied as a lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder, which is the most stable form for shipping and storage. Store unopened vials in a cool, dry place away from light; refrigeration at 2–8°C or freezing at -20°C is standard laboratory practice for long-term storage. Once reconstituted with a suitable solvent such as bacteriostatic water, keep refrigerated and follow your institution's handling protocols.

Why Researchers Choose Genetic Peptides USA

  • Third-party HPLC/MS tested batches
  • Lyophilized vials, sealed for stability
  • Fast USA shipping
  • Transparent lot documentation
