AHK-Cu + GHK-Cu Peptide

$200.00

This hair serum combines two copper peptides. AHK-Cu and GHK-Cu. Both are copper tripeptides used in cosmetic and laboratory research. AHK-Cu is a synthetic copper peptide designed to resemble GHK-Cu but with structural differences that show higher affinity to hair follicle tissue in lab models. GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper peptide found in human plasma and tissues. It is widely used in cosmetic formulations due to its role in skin and scalp signaling.

AHK-Cu mixed together with Copper (GHK-CU) Peptides are used in research settings to understand: 

  • Fast-Absorbing, Water-Light Texture: Equipped with a fine-mist spray, this serum is distributed evenly without the feeling of heaviness, making it comfortable on the scalp, whether wet or dry, and layering effortlessly with the rest of your routine. 
  • Clean, Minimal Ingredients: Made without fragrance, dyes, or heavy additives so that the focus remains on the star ingredient: AHK-Cu and GHK-Cu. Nothing unnecessary is added that could interfere with peptide stability or scalp feel.
  • Peptide Quality You Can Trust: All our formulations are made with shelf-stable peptides and tested for purity.

Please note that all payments include a 3.99% processing fee set by our international payment processor.

What is AHK-Cu & GHK-Cu

AHK-Cu and GHK-Cu are copper tripeptides. Short chains of amino acids bound to a copper ion. GHK-Cu is one of the most studied copper peptides in cosmetic science and occurs naturally in the body. Levels decline with age.

AHK-Cu is fully laboratory made and modeled after GHK-Cu. It is often studied in hair and scalp research because of its interaction with hair follicle structures. Both peptides are compatible with lightweight, water based formulations and are commonly used in scalp focused products

Lab testing ensures that the tablets are consistent, high-quality, and suitable for research purposes.

Research Related to AHK-Cu and GHK-Cu

The following sections outline what scientists have studied about AHK-Cu and GHK-Cu. This information is for context only and shouldn’t be taken to mean that our AHK-Cu and GHK-Cu hair growth spray will produce the same results.

Lab Studies on Hair Follicle Health

Researchers examined how human hair follicles behave in a lab dish when exposed to AHK-Cu-type copper peptide. 

They found that hair strands grew longer in culture, remained in the anagen growth phase for longer, and that key cells in the follicle were more active, showing fewer signs of cell death [1].

Scalp Health & Aging

Reviews on copper peptides and hair aging suggest that AHK-Cu may help the scalp environment by supporting the structures around hair follicles, reducing oxidative stress, and calming low-level irritation linked to hair loss and aging hair [2].
