Overview
What Is GHK-Cu?
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine) found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. Plasma levels decline with age, and research into its role in tissue remodelling, collagen synthesis, and gene expression modulation has expanded significantly.
Also known as Copper Peptide (Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine Copper), GHK-Cu is supplied as a lyophilised research peptide for laboratory use only. Studies demonstrate GHK-Cu upregulates collagen synthesis, decorin, and glycosaminoglycan production while downregulating metalloproteinases. Genomic research shows it modulates expression of over 4,000 genes, many involved in tissue repair and anti-inflammatory pathways. It also demonstrates antioxidant activity via superoxide dismutase upregulation.

GHK-Cu Dosage — Published Research Protocols
The following reference points are drawn from published research literature. These figures are provided for research reference only and do not constitute dosing recommendations. GHK-Cu is sold strictly for laboratory research use.
| Protocol tier | Published research detail |
|---|---|
| Research reference | Published literature varies by model and endpoint — consult primary sources for protocol-specific dosing in laboratory settings |
| Administration route | Subcutaneous injection is most common in published peptide research protocols |
| Frequency | Dosing frequency depends on compound half-life and research design — daily to weekly intervals reported in literature |
| Available vial sizes | 50 mg — select based on your laboratory protocol requirements |
| Titration | Many research protocols start at lower doses and escalate to assess receptor response and tolerability in models |
Research use only: FOR LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY. Not for human consumption, injection, or therapeutic use. All products are sold strictly as research chemicals. By purchasing, you confirm you are 18+ and agree to use products solely for legitimate research purposes.
Safety research
GHK-Cu Side Effects — Research Findings
Side effect profiles documented in published GHK-Cu research depend on dose, route of administration, and model system. The following are commonly reported findings from research literature — not from personal use contexts.
- Injection site erythema or discomfort in subcutaneous administration studies
- Transient local inflammation reported in some tissue repair models
- Generally well-tolerated in published preclinical research at standard doses
- No significant systemic adverse events consistently reported across literature
Handling
Reconstituting GHK-Cu
GHK-Cu is supplied as a lyophilised powder and must be reconstituted before use in laboratory protocols. Use bacteriostatic water (0.9% benzyl alcohol) for multi-dose vials. Inject diluent slowly down the inside wall of the vial — do not shake vigorously.
Bacteriostatic water is available from EvoPeak. Store reconstituted peptide at 2–8°C and lyophilised powder at −20°C.
