GHK-CuResearch-Grade Peptide · Lab-Verified Purity
GHK-Cu is the naturally occurring copper-carrying peptide your body already produces — the levels of which decline noticeably with age. It's a favorite in skin, hair, and connective-tissue research because of how many different repair pathways it seems to touch at once.

GHK-Cu — Product Overview
GHK-Cu is the naturally occurring copper-carrying peptide your body already produces — the levels of which decline noticeably with age. It's a favorite in skin, hair, and connective-tissue research because of how many different repair pathways it seems to touch at once.
GHK-Cu — Molecular Characteristics & Vial Specifications
ProSource Labs supplies GHK-Cu in the following available vial sizes: 50mg. Each GHK-Cu vial contains pure lyophilized peptide — no fillers, no bulking agents. Product SKU references: GHKCU-50MV.
- Skin Regeneration: One of the most-studied peptides for skin repair, collagen, and elastin production
- Hair Follicles: Studied for stimulating dormant follicles and improving hair density in study models
- Copper Delivery: Naturally binds and delivers copper — essential for many repair enzymes
- Anti-Aging Research: Widely used in studies on the aging-repair pathway
Batches are characterized by ESI mass spectrometry to confirm molecular weight against the theoretical value, with amino-acid sequence confirmation on selected QA lots. Peptide content assay distinguishes net peptide mass from residual counter-ion salt.
GHK-Cu — Laboratory Handling & Storage
Lyophilized GHK-Cu vials should be stored at -20°C (or colder) in a laboratory freezer, inside the sealed factory container. Minimize warm-up cycles — move only the specific vial needed for a given experiment out of frozen storage at a time.
All laboratory handling of GHK-Cu should follow the receiving institution's SOPs and applicable peer-reviewed protocols relevant to the researcher's specific experimental question. ProSource Labs does not publish end-user preparation or usage instructions.
GHK-Cu — Third-Party Analytical Testing
Every batch of GHK-Cu released by ProSource Labs undergoes independent reverse-phase High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) — the industry-standard analytical method for this class of research compound. Target chromatographic purity is typically ≥ 99%.
Additional characterization may include ESI mass spectrometry for molecular weight confirmation, Karl Fischer titration for residual moisture, and appearance/solubility inspection. A batch-specific Certificate of Analysis (COA) is available on request through customer support after purchase.
GHK-Cu — Quality Assurance Process
Each production lot of GHK-Cu is quarantined pending analytical release, tested against documented purity, identity, and moisture acceptance criteria, and only released to sellable inventory after passing every QA checkpoint. Batches that fail any single criterion are quarantined and never reach customer-facing inventory.
If a vial of GHK-Cu you received from ProSource Labs ever fails your own institution's incoming QA testing, contact customer support at support@prosourcelabs.org — we retain samples of every batch for cross-verification.
GHK-Cu — Typical Research Application
Extensively studied in research skin-regeneration, wound-healing, collagen-production, and hair-follicle research. Also appears in tissue-remodeling and anti-fibrotic study models.
GHK-Cu — Packaging & Fast Southern California Shipping
GHK-Cu vials ship in tamper-evident, moisture-resistant, cold-chain-friendly outer packaging from our Southern California distribution facility for fast US domestic delivery — typically 2-4 business days coast-to-coast, with expedited options available at checkout.
Every GHK-Cu shipment is discreet — the outer packaging carries no product-specific branding or direct reference to the compound name inside, protecting researcher privacy. Tracking numbers are emailed automatically. For institutional or high-volume orders, dedicated wholesale pricing is available through the wholesale portal.
