Endogenous Copper Tripeptide Research Compound
GHK-Cu (100mg) is supplied in Australia by Aussie Peptides with fast domestic shipping to all states and territories.
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper tripeptide whose endogenous concentration declines with age — from approximately 200 ng/mL in plasma at age 20 to ~80 ng/mL at 60. This decline is studied in the context of reduced skin thickness, elasticity, and tissue repair capacity. GHK-Cu has one of the broadest activity profiles in the dermal-research literature: collagen synthesis, wound healing, inflammatory signalling, and gene-expression modulation in ageing tissue.
It is the same compound used in cosmetic serums at low topical concentrations. Research-grade lyophilized peptide is supplied for protocols requiring controlled, larger-quantity laboratory study.
Key Research Areas
- Collagen & Elastin Synthesis — Studied for stimulating structural protein production in dermal fibroblasts
- Wound Healing — Studied across multiple wound healing models for accelerated epidermal repair
- Dermal Gene Expression — Studied for influence on >4,000 human genes, including repair, renewal, and inflammation pathways
- Inflammation Modulation — Studied for reducing chronic low-grade dermal inflammation
Supplied as lyophilized powder at ≥98% purity, verified by HPLC and mass spectrometry. 100mg per vial. Fast domestic shipping across Australia, with batch-specific CoA information available in our CoA Library.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is GHK-Cu, and is this product a serum or a research vial?
GHK-Cu is a copper(II) complex of the tripeptide glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine. This product supplies 100mg of lyophilised GHK-Cu powder for laboratory research, not a finished serum or cream. Early fibroblast research examined collagen synthesis. Our GHK-Cu research guide discusses the research context in more detail.
What has GHK-Cu research examined in skin-related models?
A 1988 study found increased collagen synthesis in fibroblast cultures exposed to GHK-Cu. Fibroblasts are cells involved in connective tissue maintenance. A cell-culture result does not by itself establish that this research vial firms skin or reduces wrinkles in people.
How does this research vial differ from a finished skincare serum?
This vial supplies a research material with an amount stated in milligrams. A finished serum contains a complete formulation, including its vehicle, ingredient concentrations and product-specific directions. This 100mg vial has no finished serum concentration and is not supplied as a cosmetic ready for skin application.
What does the research show about GHK-Cu?
Alongside cell-culture work, a 1993 rat wound-chamber study investigated connective tissue accumulation and collagen content. Results depend on the model, formulation and measured outcome. They should not be treated as evidence of a clinical benefit for every GHK-Cu product. See the research guide for further context.
How do you reconstitute GHK-Cu?
GHK-Cu is supplied as a lyophilized powder and should be reconstituted with bacteriostatic water (BAC water) immediately before use. Inject the BAC water slowly into the vial, directing the stream down the inside wall. Gently swirl to dissolve — do not shake. Once reconstituted, store at 2–8°C and use within 8–12 weeks. For a full step-by-step walkthrough, see our complete peptide reconstitution guide.
How should GHK-Cu be stored?
Store lyophilized GHK-Cu vials at -20°C, away from light and moisture. After reconstitution, refrigerate at 2–8°C and use within 8–12 weeks. Do not freeze the reconstituted solution.
