GHK-CU

Copper Peptide Complex

Peptide Profile

Sequence

GHK (tripeptide forms complex with Cu)

Molecular Weight

403.92 g/mol

Storage Requirements

For maximum stability, store the lyophilized powder at -20°C (or -80°C for long-term preservation) protected from light and moisture. Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water or sterile saline, the solution should be kept refrigerated at 2°C to 8°C and utilized within 14–21 days. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles and keep vials tightly sealed until use to maintain compound integrity.
