GHK-Cu
Copper Peptide Complex — Research / Cosmetic Grade
"A naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide for skin biology and cosmetic research."
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide found in human plasma, supplied in cosmetic-grade and research-grade formulations for topical cosmetic research and in vitro laboratory studies. It is used to investigate copper-dependent enzyme pathways, collagen synthesis biology, and skin remodeling mechanisms. Not for injectable or systemic use.

For in vitro laboratory research use only. Not for human or veterinary consumption. A Certificate of Analysis (CoA) is provided with every order.
How It Works
In research settings, GHK-Cu is studied for its interactions with copper-dependent enzymes involved in collagen synthesis, matrix metalloproteinase regulation, and antioxidant pathway activity. In cosmetic research applications, it is used to investigate skin biology, extracellular matrix remodeling, and topical bioavailability.
Observed Research Endpoints

Important Considerations
- For research and cosmetic topical use only — not for injectable or systemic use
- Handle according to appropriate laboratory safety protocols
- Store under recommended conditions to maintain peptide integrity
- Injectable use is outside the scope of cosmetic-grade supply
- Dispose of in accordance with institutional waste management guidelines
Supplied as a research-grade and cosmetic-grade peptide. Cosmetic-grade supply is for topical research applications only. Not intended or suitable for injectable or systemic administration. All research must comply with applicable regulations.
