GHK‑Cu (50 mg)

(Research Use Only) GHK‑Cu is a synthetic copper‑complexed tripeptide consisting of glycyl‑L‑histidyl‑L‑lysine coordinated with a divalent copper ion, supplied as a lyophilized powder for use as a reference material in laboratory, in‑vitro, and analytical studies conducted by qualified professionals in appropriately equipped research facilities. This product is not a drug and is not intended for human or veterinary use, clinical applications, or any form of in‑vivo administration.​​

Structural Information GHK‑Cu is a copper‑binding tripeptide in which the sequence Gly‑His‑Lys coordinates a Cu(II) ion, forming a low‑molecular‑weight complex that has been widely described in the research literature for studies on peptide–metal interactions, gene‑expression modulation, and extracellular‑matrix biochemistry under controlled experimental conditions.​

• Peptide type: Synthetic glycyl‑L‑histidyl‑L‑lysine–Cu(II) complex.

Intended Use and Limitations This product is supplied for Research Use Only (RUO) and is not intended for human or animal consumption. It must not be used for diagnosis, treatment, cure, or prevention of any disease and must not be compounded, ingested, injected, inhaled, implanted, absorbed, or otherwise administered to humans or animals under any circumstances. Any scientific literature or background information associated with GHK‑Cu is provided solely to describe its chemical and research characteristics and should not be interpreted as guidance for clinical, cosmetic, dermatologic, regenerative, “anti‑aging,” performance‑enhancing, or other health‑related applications. End users are responsible for ensuring that all handling and experimental use of this material comply with applicable laws, regulations, institutional policies, and ethical standards.​

Handling, Storage, and Quality GHK‑Cu should be handled using standard laboratory practices appropriate for peptide and metal‑complex reference materials, including the use of suitable personal protective equipment (PPE) and engineering controls to avoid direct contact, inhalation of powders, or environmental release. Unopened lyophilized vials should be stored according to internal laboratory protocols for peptides, typically in a cool, dry environment protected from light and moisture to help preserve material integrity prior to use; once opened or reconstituted, storage conditions and holding times should be defined by the user’s validated laboratory procedures. Each lot may be accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis (COA) providing identity, purity, and analytical data (for example, HPLC and/or mass spectrometry), enabling researchers to document material quality and suitability for their specific experimental applications.​

Regulatory and Compliance Notice All products of this type are intended exclusively for research, laboratory, or analytical purposes and are not for human consumption or use in foods, drugs, cosmetics, medical devices, or household chemicals. This material must not be used to create, manufacture, or compound finished dosage forms, and it is not supplied as a prescription medication, active pharmaceutical ingredient, or cosmetic ingredient.
