Research Context
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring tripeptide (glycine-histidine-lysine) bound to a copper(II) ion. The copper complex is the research-relevant form: published work by Pickart and colleagues describes GHK-Cu as a modulator of gene expression in fibroblast and keratinocyte culture, with reported effects on collagen synthesis, matrix metalloproteinase activity and antioxidant response in cell models, and later reviews extend that to broader regenerative and protective signalling.
The distinctive deep blue colour of the lyophilized powder is a practical advantage in the laboratory: the copper complex is visible, so dissolution and concentration checks are straightforward compared with colourless peptides. The 100 mg format supports extended cell-culture and biochemical series without opening multiple vials.
In published in vitro research, GHK-Cu is used to study dermal matrix biology, wound-healing model systems, copper-dependent enzyme activity and gene-expression changes in cultured fibroblasts. It is also used as a copper-delivery comparator in trace-metal research designs.
Because the copper complex is sensitive to chelating agents and reducing conditions, protocols typically avoid EDTA-containing buffers and strongly reducing environments.

Laboratory Handling
Reconstitute in water or a non-chelating buffer and swirl gently to dissolve. The solution should be a clear blue; a colourless solution, or precipitation, indicates the complex has been disrupted. Avoid EDTA and strongly reducing buffers. Store lyophilized at −20 °C protected from light, and keep reconstituted material refrigerated.
How It Differs From Related Compounds
GHK-Cu is the only metal-peptide complex on this catalogue. Unlike the receptor-ligand peptides here, its research activity is studied through gene-expression and matrix-remodelling endpoints rather than receptor binding, and its handling requirements around chelators are unique to it.

Customer Reviews
Really happy with this
Third order. Every batch consistent. The 100mg size is perfect for my needs. Ships fast, packaged well.
Jess T.
Consistent quality
Three orders in and every vial the same. The color is right, the solubility is right. That consistency is gold.
Rob A.
Best I've tried
Tried GHK-Cu from three suppliers and this is clearly the best. Quality peptide.
Tom B.
Lab grade for sure
Our lab verified this independently and it's the real deal. Properly synthesized with correct copper complexation.
Bri F.
Great copper peptide
Excellent quality. The copper is properly chelated, not just mixed in. You can tell by the color and how it performs.
Mike R.
Great value
For the quality you get the price is more than fair. Other places sell questionable stuff for more money. This is properly made and priced.
Vanessa H.
Works as expected
Clean dose-dependent effects. Very happy with it.
Eric L.
Dissolves clean
Some GHK-Cu I've bought elsewhere leaves residue or doesn't fully dissolve. This goes into solution perfectly. Well manufactured.
Sam P.
Verified the copper content
Independently tested the copper content and it matches the COA. This is properly made, not a cheap mix.
Dave M.
My go-to for copper peptides
Switched all my GHK-Cu orders here about 6 months ago. Never looked back. Consistent, pure, properly documented.
Cara D.
Fast to Winnipeg
Four days to Winnipeg, well packaged, sealed properly. Exactly as described. Very happy with it.
Nate W.
Good, wish there was a bulk option
I use a lot of this. A bigger size would be helpful. The 100mg is high quality though, properly complexed and stable.
