What GHK-Cu is
The GHK tripeptide has a high affinity for copper(II) ions, and the resulting complex gives the material its distinctive blue colouration. It occurs naturally in human plasma at concentrations that decline with age, which is why it appears throughout skin and matrix-remodelling literature.
UK Peptide supplies GHK-Cu as a 50 mg lyophilised vial verified to 99%+ purity.
What the literature examines
Research on GHK-Cu concentrates on extracellular-matrix remodelling, collagen and glycosaminoglycan synthesis pathways, and antioxidant signalling in dermal models.
Handling copper peptides
Copper complexes are light-sensitive. Store lyophilised at -20°C in the dark, keep reconstituted solution refrigerated and shielded from light, and avoid contact with reducing agents that could disturb the copper complex.
