One of the most documented peptides in dermatological research, studied for collagen synthesis in vitro.
Verified copper content
HPLC + mass spectrometry analysis by an independent laboratory, controlled copper content, CoA included.
Long-term storage
Lyophilised form stable for up to 24 months at -20°C, protected from light and oxygen.
Discreet logistics
Plain parcel, France delivery 3-5 days, tracking included and neutral packaging.
What is GHK-Cu?
GHK-Cu (Glycine-Histidine-Lysine copper) is a copper tripeptide naturally present in blood plasma, urine and saliva. Its concentration declines with age, making it a prime subject of dermatological research. It is one of the most studied peptides in skin biology, used as an in vitro research reagent. Its characteristic blue tint comes from the copper complex. Lyophilised product supplied with an independent certificate of analysis — not for human consumption.
Mechanisms studied in research
The literature describes several mechanisms of action studied in vitro. The items below summarise these mechanisms for informational purposes only, with no intent of human use.
Collagen synthesis
Studied for its role in stimulating collagen production by fibroblasts in in vitro models.
Antioxidant activity
The copper component is studied for its action on oxidative-stress regulation in cell culture.
Gene regulation
Documented for the modulation of the expression of several thousand genes linked to regeneration.
Laboratory reconstitution
Usual reconstitution concentrations for laboratory handling (bacteriostatic water, 0.9% benzyl alcohol). These values relate solely to the preparation of the research solution — they constitute neither a dosage nor a protocol for human use.
