GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1) Research Capsules
Captide Labs GHK-Cu capsules supply researchers with a precisely dosed, encapsulated format of Copper Tripeptide-1 (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper complex). Each capsule delivers 2mg of GHK-Cu at greater than 98% purity, independently verified by HPLC-MS analysis and documented with a full Certificate of Analysis.
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper peptide with molecular formula C₁₄H₂₄N₆O₄ and CAS number 300801-03-0. First isolated from human plasma in the early 1970s, it has since been the subject of extensive peer-reviewed research examining its biochemical interactions at the cellular level — particularly its role in modulating gene expression, extracellular matrix remodeling, and antioxidant activity.

What is GHK-Cu?
GHK-Cu (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper complex) is a tripeptide naturally present in human plasma, saliva, and urine. Its plasma concentration declines significantly with age — from approximately 200ng/mL at age 20 to around 80ng/mL by age 60 — a decline that has drawn research interest in the compound’s potential roles in biological regulation.
The copper ion is integral to GHK-Cu’s activity. The tripeptide forms a tight complex with Cu²⁺, and this complex has been shown in laboratory settings to interact with a broad range of biological systems. Researchers have investigated GHK-Cu across disciplines including dermatology, neuroscience, oncology, and wound-healing biology.
