About the compound
What is GHK-Cu?
GHK-Cu is the copper(II) complex of the naturally occurring tripeptide glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine (GHK), a sequence found in human plasma that binds copper with high affinity. It has a molecular weight of 402.93 (CAS 89030-95-5). This listing is the higher-capacity 100mg vial, and Sova supplies GHK-Cu UK in this size for laboratories that need more material per order.
Chemically identical to the 50mg presentation, the 100mg vial simply provides a larger quantity for extended studies or larger-scale reconstitutions where a single small vial would be limiting. The tripeptide's defining feature is its coordination of copper(II) ions, and the resulting complex is examined in research around signalling that touches on collagen and extracellular-matrix biology at the cellular level.
In the literature GHK-Cu is studied within skin, collagen and tissue-remodelling research, where investigators examine how the copper-peptide complex interacts with matrix proteins and fibroblast activity in vitro. Sova provides the 100mg vial as a characterised reference material for these investigations. No cosmetic, dermatological or physiological benefit is claimed or implied by its supply.
Identity and purity are confirmed by HPLC together with mass spectrometry, and a batch-linked Certificate of Analysis accompanies every 100mg vial. Store the sealed, lyophilised complex frozen and protected from light, reconstituting only under appropriate laboratory conditions. Sova is a UK-based supplier offering this material for laboratory research use only, and it is not for human or animal use.

FAQ
GHK-Cu, answered.
What is GHK-Cu?
+
GHK-Cu is the copper(II) complex of the naturally occurring tripeptide glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine (GHK). It is catalogued under CAS 89030-95-5 with a molecular weight of 402.93. This is the higher-capacity 100mg vial supplied for research.
Is GHK-Cu legal to buy in the UK?
+
It is supplied strictly as a research chemical on a research-use-only basis. Sova provides it to research and professional customers as a reference material; it is not a cosmetic, supplement or medicine and is not for human or animal use.
What is GHK-Cu studied for?
+
In the research literature it is studied within skin, collagen and tissue-remodelling research, where the copper-peptide complex is examined for its interactions with matrix proteins and fibroblast activity in laboratory models.
How is Sova's GHK-Cu verified?
+
Each batch is verified by HPLC together with mass spectrometry to confirm identity and purity, with the results recorded on a batch-linked Certificate of Analysis supplied with every 100mg vial.
How should GHK-Cu be stored?
+
Keep the sealed, lyophilised vial frozen and protected from light until required. Reconstitution and any short-term storage of prepared solutions should follow appropriate laboratory conditions.
How does the 100mg vial differ from the 50mg GHK-Cu?
+
It is exactly the same compound, glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine complexed with copper(II), just supplied in a larger 100mg quantity for extended or larger-scale research preparations where a 50mg vial would be limiting.
