GHK-Cu

Copper-bound tripeptide · kits of 10 or 30 vials

Tripeptide–copper complex

GHK-Cu is a tripeptide, glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine, holding a copper ion. It occurs naturally. Skin, wound-healing and regeneration studies use it widely.

About GHK-Cu

GHK is a three-residue sequence present in human plasma. Bound to copper, it becomes GHK-Cu. Skin, regeneration and wound-healing studies cite it often, and cosmetic science uses it as a reference compound.

GHK-Cu comes in sealed kits of 10 or 30 freeze-dried vials. Certificates from an independent third-party laboratory are published per batch on /certificates as they become available. For laboratory and in-vitro research only.

Mechanism of action

GHK stands for glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine, a sequence present in human plasma. GHK-Cu is its copper(II) complex. The copper is held by a nitrogen of the histidine imidazole ring and by the N-terminal amine. The result is stable and dissolves well.

From that structure, papers describe two jobs. It carries copper into cells. It also shifts gene expression in skin and wound models. Plasma GHK drops with age, one reason it keeps returning in skin and regeneration work.

A short summary of published work, given as research context. It makes no therapeutic claim.

What published studies show

Gene-expression data: a 2018 paper in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences. Skin-regeneration pathways: a 2015 review in BioMed Research International.

Cosmetic science uses GHK-Cu as an ingredient, and labs use it as a reagent. It is not an approved medicine.

Written for education from published papers. It promises no result to anyone who buys, and NordPeps sells GHK-Cu for laboratory research only.

Storage & handling

Unopened vials. Store at 2–8 °C. For long periods, −20 °C or colder. Room temperature is fine in transit, but it is not a way to store a peptide.

After reconstitution. Refrigerate at 2–8 °C. Do not freeze: ice crystals break the peptide down for good. In bacteriostatic water (0.9% benzyl alcohol), labs usually work through a vial within about 30 days. With plain sterile water, the window is 24–48 hours.

Keep vials closed and out of the light. If you hold frozen stock, thaw it as few times as you can; each cycle loses some activity.

GHK-Cu: common questions

How much does GHK-Cu cost?

A 10-vial kit costs €269 (50 mg) or €319 (100 mg). A 30-vial kit costs three times as much (€807 or €957). Delivery is free on every kit, to all 27 EU countries.

Is there a certificate for this compound?

Certificates from an independent third-party laboratory are published per batch on /certificates as they become available.

Why is the solution blue-green?

The colour comes from the copper bound to the tripeptide. Laboratory research use only.

Why kits of 10 vials?

We sell this compound only in sealed kits of 10 identical vials, or 30. A 10-vial kit is the smallest order.

How do I store GHK-Cu?

Unopened: 2–8 °C; for long stretches, −20 °C. Reconstituted: in the fridge, never frozen. Details are under storage and handling.

How is the concentration set?

By the volume of bacteriostatic water you add, not by the vial size alone. Enter the vial size and the diluent volume in the reconstitution calculator and it gives you the concentration.

GHK or GHK-Cu: what is the difference?

GHK is the tripeptide on its own (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine, CAS 49557-75-7). GHK-Cu is that tripeptide with a copper(II) ion attached. Most skin and wound studies use the copper form.
