GHK-Cu Single Vial
Skin / Anti-Aging · single vial · no minimum order
GHK-Cu is available as an individual vial shipped from our UK facility, so a laboratory can take one vial rather than a wholesale box. Every single vial is the same material as the factory-direct range, held in the UK for tracked next-working-day delivery, and supplied strictly for laboratory research.

About GHK-Cu
GHK-Cu, also known as Copper Peptide GHK or glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper, is classified as an anti-aging peptide extensively studied in laboratory research models. This tripeptide compound demonstrates significant potential in tissue remodelling and regenerative research applications. The mechanism of action involves GHK-Cu binding to copper ions, facilitating their transport into cells within research models. Studies indicate that this process activates tissue remodelling pathways by upregulating collagen synthesis and promoting wound healing responses. The peptide also modulates gene expression related to inflammation and oxidative stress, enhancing skin repair and regeneration processes in laboratory studies. Primary research effects observed in studies include enhanced wound healing, stimulated collagen production, reduced inflammation markers, improved skin elasticity measurements, and promoted hair growth in research models. These effects make GHK-Cu tripeptide a valuable compound for anti-aging research and tissue regeneration studies. The evidence grade is classified as B, with several small human trials suggesting that GHK-Cu can improve skin healing and reduce signs of aging in research models. However, researchers note that larger and more rigorous studies are needed to confirm these effects and establish optimal parameters for laboratory applications. Current research continues to explore the full potential of this copper peptide in various regenerative medicine applications.
Mechanism
Activates wound healing genes, increases collagen, elastin and glycosaminoglycan synthesis. Modulates anti-inflammatory cytokines.
Reported research findings
- Collagen and elastin upregulation
- Improved skin elasticity
- Wound contraction acceleration
- Hair follicle stimulation
Why a single vial
Pilot and method work
A single vial covers assay development, method validation or a short pilot run without committing to a wholesale quantity of GHK-Cu.
UK held, fast turnaround
Vials ship from our UK facility on a tracked service, so a study is not waiting on an international consignment or a customs queue.
Same material as the box
Single vials are drawn from the same vetted manufacturing source as the factory-direct range, with the same batch documentation.
Predictable spend
Small laboratories and independent researchers can budget one vial at a time rather than a full minimum order quantity.
Storage and handling
Before reconstitution
Reconstituted 2 to 8 C up to 30 days, light protected.
After reconstitution
Reconstituted solution is held refrigerated at 2 to 8°C and used within the window appropriate to the compound. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
Reconstitution
Bacteriostatic water is the usual diluent. Our reconstitution calculator works out the diluent volume for a given target concentration.
Documentation
Every vial carries a batch number for traceable laboratory records, and independent verification is encouraged.
See the reconstitution guide and the calculator.
FAQs
Can I order a single vial of GHK-Cu without a minimum order?+
Yes. The single-vial range exists precisely so a laboratory can take one vial of GHK-Cu rather than a full wholesale box. There is no minimum order quantity on this format.
How quickly does a GHK-Cu single vial ship in the UK?+
Single vials are held in our UK facility and dispatched within 24 hours of a cleared payment on working days, on a tracked UK service. Orders placed at the weekend go out on the next working day.
How does the single vial differ from the factory-direct box?+
The compound and the manufacturing source are the same. The factory-direct box is a wholesale multi-vial pack with a minimum order quantity and a lower per-vial cost, while the single vial is one vial from UK stock for small-scale or pilot work.
What purity is stated for GHK-Cu?+
99%+ manufacturer-stated purity. Buyers are encouraged to run independent third-party verification, and our testing directory lists laboratories that perform it.
Is this GHK-Cu vial for human use?+
No. Every PeptX product, including the single-vial range, is supplied strictly for laboratory research. It is not for human consumption, diagnosis, treatment or any clinical use.
What is GHK-Cu?+
GHK-Cu is a tripeptide compound classified as an anti-aging peptide, consisting of glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine bound to copper ions. It's extensively studied in research models for its tissue remodelling and regenerative properties.
How does GHK-Cu work?+
GHK-Cu works by binding to copper ions and facilitating their transport into cells in research models. It activates tissue remodelling by upregulating collagen synthesis, promoting wound healing, and modulating gene expression related to inflammation and oxidative stress.
What is the half-life of GHK-Cu?+
The half-life data for GHK-Cu is not currently available in published research literature. Researchers should consult current studies and establish appropriate timing protocols for their specific laboratory applications.
How is GHK-Cu stored?+
Specific storage requirements for GHK-Cu should follow standard peptide storage protocols in research facilities. Generally, peptides require controlled temperature conditions and protection from light and moisture to maintain stability for laboratory use.
