What is GHK-Cu?
GHK-Cu is a peptide complex formed by the tripeptide glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine bound to copper ions. It is referenced in scientific literature as a model compound in laboratory research.
Why do researchers use GHK-Cu?
Researchers include it in experimental settings to explore peptide-metal coordination and related signaling pathways under controlled conditions.
This product is intended strictly for scientific research and laboratory investigation. These products are not approved for human or veterinary use. They are not intended for use as drugs, dietary supplements, cosmetics, or food products.
Our products are produced using a freeze-drying process (lyophilization), which helps maintain their integrity and stability during transit, typically for up to 3–4 months.
After the peptides are reconstituted (mixed with bacteriostatic water), they should be kept refrigerated to preserve their quality. Once in liquid form, they generally remain stable for up to 30 days when stored properly.
Lyophilization—also referred to as cryodesiccation—is a dehydration method where the material is first frozen and then exposed to low pressure. This allows moisture to transition directly from solid to vapor, leaving behind a dry, stable compound in the form of a light, crystalline powder. In this state, the product can be kept at room temperature until it is ready to be reconstituted.
Upon receiving your peptides, it is recommended to protect them from heat and light exposure. For short-term use (ranging from a few days to several weeks), refrigeration below 4°C (39°F) is suitable. Lyophilized products can also tolerate room temperature storage for a limited period if they will be used relatively soon.
For extended storage—spanning several months or longer—freezing is advised. Ideally, peptides should be kept at approximately -80°C (-112°F) to best maintain long-term stability
