GHK-Cu 50mg

Description

GHK-Cu 50mg from Ameano Peptides is 50mg of GHK-Cu in a sealed glass vial. GHK-Cu is a copper-binding tripeptide. It’s intended for lab research only.

GHK-Cu at a glance

GHK-Cu is the tripeptide glycyl-histidyl-lysine bound to a copper ion. GHK occurs naturally in human plasma, saliva and urine, and its levels fall with age.

It’s used widely in skin and wound research, and in cosmetic formulas.

How GHK-Cu acts in the lab

GHK binds copper tightly and can deliver it to cells. Copper is a cofactor for lysyl oxidase, the enzyme that cross-links collagen and elastin, and for antioxidant enzymes.

In cell and animal studies GHK-Cu increased collagen and glycosaminoglycan production, attracted repair cells to wounds, and changed the activity of many genes involved in tissue remodeling.

Published GHK-Cu studies

Loren Pickart, who first isolated GHK in 1973, has published reviews of its effects on collagen synthesis, wound contraction and gene expression in cell and animal studies.

Maquart and colleagues reported that GHK-Cu increased collagen in rat wound chambers.

How to reconstitute GHK-Cu 50mg

Concentration is just the amount in the vial divided by the liquid you add. With 50mg in this vial:

• 2mL of diluent gives 25mg/mL
• 3mL of diluent gives 16.67mg/mL
• 5mL of diluent gives 10mg/mL

Choose the volume that suits your measurements. Mark the vial with the concentration and date so nobody has to guess later.

Most labs use sterile bacteriostatic water or our research diluent solution. Let the vial reach room temperature, run the liquid slowly down the inside of the glass, then roll it gently until the powder dissolves. Don’t shake it. Shaking can shear peptide chains.

Storing GHK-Cu 50mg

Store sealed vials in the fridge (2 to 8°C) or freezer (-20°C), away from light. Mixed solution goes back in the fridge and should be used within about 28 days.

GHK-Cu 50mg purity and testing

The purity spec for GHK-Cu 50mg is 99% or higher by HPLC, and that’s the floor for each batch.

The label on every vial shows the compound, the amount and the batch. Ask us for the certificate of analysis for your batch and we’ll email it over, which is handy if your lab keeps paperwork on file.

Keep the batch number with your records. It’s the quickest way to match a vial to its paperwork later.

Setting up for GHK-Cu 50mg

Most labs order GHK-Cu 50mg with a diluent so they can mix it the day it arrives. Our research diluent solution is sold right next to it. The vial opener and the vial case are small extras, but they make handling a stack of vials easier.

Buy GHK-Cu 50mg in bulk

You can buy GHK-Cu 50mg one vial at a time or in a multi-pack. The options in the dropdown are:

• Single vial: $35.00
• 5 pack: 5 vials for $157.50 instead of $175.00, about $31.50 a vial
