GHK - Cu

GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide) 50 mg is a naturally occurring bioactive tripeptide (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine) that binds copper ions and has been extensively studied for its role in tissue regeneration, skin repair, collagen synthesis, and cellular signaling[1][4]. It is present in human plasma, saliva, and urine, with concentrations that decline with age—an observation that has driven research into its regenerative potential[2].

In preclinical and clinical research contexts, GHK-Cu has demonstrated activity related to wound healing, angiogenesis, extracellular matrix remodeling, antioxidant defense, and modulation of inflammatory pathways[3][5]. Unlike anabolic agents, it does not exert hormonal effects and is commonly explored in dermal, musculoskeletal, and cellular recovery studies.

Administration (research setting):
Commonly studied via subcutaneous injection or topical application, depending on study design and target tissue.

Reconstitution:
Add 5.0 mL bacteriostatic water → 10 mg/mL concentration (≈10,000 mcg/mL).

Typical research ranges:
100–500 mcg per administration, used once or multiple times daily according to experimental objectives and tissue focus[2][3].

Measurement guide:
At 10 mg/mL, 1 unit on a U-100 insulin syringe (0.01 mL) ≈ 100 mcg, allowing precise and reproducible measurements.

Storage:
Lyophilized vial: store frozen at −20 °C (−4 °F).
After reconstitution: refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F).
Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles to preserve peptide stability and bioactivity.
