GHK-Cu 50mg: Technical Description

GHK-Cu 50mg is the mid-range dosage format of the copper tripeptide complex (Glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine bonded with copper). This specific concentration is widely used in both clinical research and specialized cosmetic protocols due to its balance between potency and ease of precise titration.


Core Specifications

  • Concentration: 50mg of high-purity GHK-Cu per vial.

  • Molecular Formula: $C_{14}H_{22}CuN_{6}O_{4}$

  • Molecular Weight: $401.9$ g/mol

  • Appearance: A distinct, vibrant blue lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. The deep blue hue is a definitive indicator of the copper chelation.


Primary Research & Clinical Functions

  1. Skin Rejuvenation & Elasticity: GHK-Cu is renowned for its ability to stimulate fibroblasts, which increases the production of collagen and elastin. It effectively improves skin firmness and reduces the appearance of fine lines.

  2. Angiogenesis: It promotes the formation of new blood vessels, enhancing the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to tissues, which is vital for both skin vitality and wound healing.

  3. Hair Follicle Support: Studies indicate that GHK-Cu can increase follicle size and prevent the miniaturization of hair follicles, often compared in efficacy to standard hair growth treatments like minoxidil.

  4. Anti-Inflammatory Properties: It acts as a signaling molecule that modulates the inflammatory response, reducing oxidative stress and protecting cells from DNA damage.


Preparation & Storage Guidelines

Step Protocol
Reconstitution Use 2mL to 3mL of bacteriostatic water. Direct the liquid down the side of the vial to avoid foaming.
Mixing Gently swirl the vial until the powder is fully dissolved. Do not shake, as vigorous movement can denature the peptide.
Visual Check The resulting solution should be a clear, transparent blue liquid without particulates.
Storage Store the lyophilized vial in a refrigerator ($2^\circ\text{C}$ to $8^\circ\text{C}$) or freezer ($-20^\circ\text{C}$) for long-term stability. Once reconstituted, keep refrigerated and use within 30 days.

Summary Table

  • Peptide Sequence: Gly-His-Lys(Cu2+)

  • Purity: Typically $\ge$ 99%

  • Solubility: High solubility in water and saline

  • Target Area: Deep tissue repair, hair follicles, and the extracellular matrix (ECM).

Pro Tip: Because GHK-Cu is a copper-binding peptide, it is generally recommended to avoid mixing it directly with high-concentration Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) solutions, as this can lead to the breakdown of the copper bond and reduce the peptide's effectiveness.
