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.

FDA Disclosure & Intended Use
FDA Disclosure: The statements on this website and the products sold herein have not been evaluated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Products sold are for Research Use Only and are not for human or animal use.
Intended Purpose: Products sold on this site are intended solely for basic laboratory research, pharmaceutical research, or the development of new tests. They are not intended for diagnostic, therapeutic, or clinical use.
Storage Instructions
Handling and Storage Tips:
- Keep peptides cold and away from light once received.
- For short-term use (days to weeks), refrigeration at 4°C (39°F) is acceptable.
- Lyophilized peptides are typically stable at room temperature for several weeks, making it suitable for moderate-term storage.
- For long-term storage (months to years), it’s best to freeze peptides at -80°C (-112°F). Freezing optimally preserves peptide stability for extended periods.

Research Use Only (RUO) Policy
"RUO" is an abbreviation for Research Use Only. It is a designation used primarily by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) for products, often in vitro diagnostic (IVD) components like reagents or instruments, that are in the laboratory research phase of development and are not intended for clinical diagnostic use.
