GHK-Cu
Copper peptide GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper(II) complex)
Research use only — intended for laboratory research. Not for human or veterinary use.
GHK-Cu is the copper(II) complex of the tripeptide glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine — a naturally occurring molecule found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. Plasma levels decline measurably with age, fueling decades of research into its role in tissue maintenance. It has been investigated extensively for collagen and elastin synthesis, antioxidant defense, modulation of inflammatory signalling, and recruitment of repair-relevant cell populations. GHK-Cu is supplied as the pre-formed copper(II) complex — no additional copper source is required for activity.

Store lyophilized peptide at −20°C, protected from light. Once reconstituted, store at 2–8°C and use within 14 days. Solutions may develop a deep blue colour — this is the characteristic copper(II) chromophore and is expected.
