How It Works
GHK-Cu delivers copper ions to tissues, activating enzymes essential for collagen synthesis, elastin production, and glycosaminoglycan formation. It stimulates dermal fibroblasts, promotes angiogenesis, has antioxidant effects, and modulates gene expression related to tissue repair and anti-inflammatory pathways.
Key Research Findings
- Stimulates collagen and elastin synthesis for improved skin firmness
- Research shows accelerated wound healing and reduced scar formation
- Shown to promote hair follicle growth and thickness in studies
- May reset gene expression patterns toward a younger, healthier state

Follow these steps to properly reconstitute GHK-Cu (Copper Peptide) for research use:
- Step 1: Swab the tops of both the peptide vial and bacteriostatic water vial with alcohol.
- Step 2: Draw your desired amount of BAC water (commonly 1–2 mL) into an insulin syringe.
- Step 3: Inject the water slowly into the peptide vial, aiming at the glass wall — not directly onto the powder.
- Step 4: Swirl the vial gently until fully dissolved — never shake.
- Step 5: Refrigerate at 36–46°F (2–8°C). Use within 4–6 weeks.
