GHK-Cu: Copper Peptide Research Notes
Why GHK-Cu remains one of the most-studied copper-binding tripeptides in dermal research.
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine) that has been studied extensively for its effects on dermal fibroblast behaviour, collagen synthesis, and antioxidant response.
In topical research formulations, GHK-Cu is paired with vehicles that preserve copper coordination. In injectable laboratory studies it is typically reconstituted in bacteriostatic water at modest concentrations.
Research areas:
- Fibroblast proliferation
- MMP modulation
- Hair follicle research
VaultX Labs supplies GHK-Cu at 50 mg and 100 mg vial sizes for research use only.
For research purposes only. Not for human consumption.
