Description
One hundred milligrams is our largest single-compound peptide fill. It is aimed at labs that use GHK-Cu as a working reagent rather than an occasional test article.
GHK-Cu 100 mg for routine use
Because the copper is part of what you are buying, it is worth checking both halves of the complex. HPLC describes the peptide; a colour check and, where a lab has it, a copper assay describe the metal. Our certificates report third-party HPLC and purity testing, and the blue colour of the lyophilised solid is a practical sign that the complex is intact.
A larger vial also changes storage habits. Rather than opening one 100 mg vial repeatedly, many labs dissolve and divide it into single-use portions on the day it is opened, then freeze those portions. That keeps the main supply away from repeated temperature cycling and moisture.

Questions about GHK-Cu Copper Peptide 100mg
Is 100 mg the most cost-effective GHK-Cu format?
Per milligram, yes, and quantity breaks stack on top: ten vials take 35% off each.
Can GHK-Cu lose its copper?
Strong chelating agents such as EDTA can pull copper from the complex. If your buffers contain them, account for that in your experimental design.
Is there GHK-Cu in any of the blends?
Yes. The GLOW and KLOW blends both contain GHK-Cu alongside BPC-157 and TB-500.
