The science behind
GHK-Cu is a copper tripeptide (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine + copper) that occurs naturally in human plasma. Its levels are high in youth and decline with age, which has made it a subject of interest within research on skin and regeneration.
In the scientific literature, GHK-Cu has been studied for its relationship with collagen and elastin remodeling, antioxidant signaling, and wound-healing processes. It is one of the most widely used peptides in cosmetic research, where it is reconstituted for topical use.
The TrüPeptides vial contains 100 mg of lyophilized GHK-Cu at ≥99% purity and its characteristic copper-blue color, validated by HPLC and mass spectrometry. It is distributed exclusively as a research-grade compound; it is not a medicine and is not intended for human consumption.
Preclinical research
These are the lines of inquiry the scientific community has explored in preclinical models. None constitutes a therapeutic promise or an indication for use.
Preclinical studies have examined its role in collagen and elastin synthesis and in skin firmness.
Model research has explored its relationship with skin-repair and tissue-regeneration processes.
Its role in the antioxidant response and protection against cellular oxidative stress has been investigated.
Widely used in cosmetic research, it has been studied in relation to skin quality and the hair follicle.
Compliance note: the information above summarizes findings from preclinical and model research. It should not be interpreted as evidence that GHK-Cu diagnoses, treats, cures, or prevents any disease in humans.

Common questions
GHK-Cu is a copper tripeptide naturally present in human plasma. Preclinical studies have explored its role in collagen remodeling, wound healing, and skin quality; it is widely used in cosmetic research. It is sold exclusively as a research-grade compound and is not a medicine.
No. The GHK-Cu 100 mg vial ships lyophilized (as a powder), and bacteriostatic water is not included; it is purchased separately for reconstitution in the laboratory. The product requires refrigeration between 2 and 8 °C and protection from light.
Every batch from TruPeptides arrives with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) that you can verify via a QR code. The COA reports ≥99% purity confirmed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and by mass spectrometry (MS), which validates the peptide's identity and molecular weight.
