GHK-Cu Tablets

$157.00

GHK-Cu Tablets are modelled after a naturally occurring copper-binding peptide found in plasma, saliva, and wounds. This peptide is most commonly associated with wound healing and anti-aging for the skin and hair.

In research, GHK-Cu tablet capsules is investigated for its potential biological activities, including: 

  • Wound Healing: GHK-Cu has been studied for its potential to activate genes and proteins involved in collagen synthesis and supporting healthy cell turnover.
  • Inflammation Balance: Researchers examine how GHK-Cu may modulate signals that regulate inflammation, helping scientists understand its role in maintaining a balanced immune response.
  • Oxidative Stress Protection: Scientists are investigating GHK-Cu’s role in antioxidant pathways that help protect cells from oxygen species and environmental stressors.

Our 2 mg tablets (60 count) contain high-purity GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1) in a convenient, pre-measured form for controlled use in laboratory research. The bottle has 120 mg total.

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

What is GHK-Cu?

GHK-Cu or copper tripeptide is made up of three amino acids: glycine, histidine, and lysine bound to a copper ion. In the body, this peptide naturally appears in tissues involved in healing and regeneration, particularly in the skin. Because of this, many researchers are investigating GHK-Cu for cell repair, inflammation, and anti-aging in both topical and internal applications. 

GHK-Cu is already widely used in cosmetic and dermatology settings. However, the oral tablet form remains experimental, with limited research.

GHK-Cu Tablets are made with high-purity peptide material and undergoes in-house and third-party lab analysis to confirm:

  • Identify (peptide sequencing verification)
  • Purity (≥99% by HPLC)
  • Absence of contaminants (microbial, heavy metals, solvents)

Lab testing ensures that the material provided is consistent, high-quality, and suitable for research purposes.

Research Related to GHK-Cu (Copper Peptide)

Here are some highlighted studies related to GHK-Cu. Please keep in mind that while these studies are promising, copper peptide isn’t approved as a drug or dietary supplement, meaning its use remains limited to research. 

Tissue Repair and Wound Healing Pathways

Many studies have looked at GHK-Cu’s affinity for tissue repair. GHK-Cu tells skin cells called fibroblasts to produce more collagen — the protein that gives skin its strength and firmness, acting like scaffolding in a building. 

Because GHK-Cu helps to build this “scaffolding” and supports other repair processes, researchers are looking into how this peptide can help with cuts, damaged skin, and other injuries heal faster and better [1, 2]

Skin Biology Research

Lab and skin studies suggest GHK-Cu helps skin rebuild its support structure by increasing collagen and elastin, and by helping enzymes that break down and rebuild the matrix stay in balance, which aligns with its use in wound-healing and anti‑aging products. 

Topical GHK-Cu creams have been shown to make skin firmer, thicker, and smoother over a few months, and in at least one study, they boosted collagen more than vitamin C or retinoic acid creams [1,3].

Anti-Inflammatory & Antioxidant Signaling

GHK-Cu helps cells handle “chemical stress” and calm down inflammation in several ways. Studies show that GHK-Cu can lower harmful molecules called reactive oxygen species (ROS) and boost the cell’s own protectors.

Some research also suggests it can prevent excess iron from leaking from storage proteins and reduce damage to fats in cell membranes, helping protect tissues like the brain from oxidative damage [4, 5].
