Buy GHK-Cu Copper Peptide in the UK — From £35

Looking to buy GHK-Cu (copper peptide) in the UK? Nova Biolabs holds GHK-Cu 100mg in UK domestic stock, HPLC-verified at >98% purity, with same or next-day dispatch in discreet packaging.

What is GHK-Cu?

GHK-Cu is the copper complex of the naturally occurring tripeptide glycyl-histidyl-lysine (GHK). Found naturally in human plasma, saliva, and urine, GHK-Cu has attracted significant research interest due to its role in tissue repair signalling, collagen synthesis, and its unusually broad effects on gene expression regulation.

GHK-Cu is notable for declining with age in human biology — a property that has generated substantial research interest in its relationship to cellular ageing and regenerative biology.

Research Applications

Wound Healing and Tissue Repair Biology

GHK-Cu is one of the most studied compounds in wound healing research. Laboratory studies have investigated its effects on fibroblast migration, collagen and glycosaminoglycan synthesis, and extracellular matrix remodelling in wound healing cell models.

Gene Expression Research

Research has identified GHK-Cu as a broad regulator of gene expression, with studies documenting effects on hundreds of genes related to inflammation, tissue repair, antioxidant response, and cellular metabolism. This makes it a valuable tool for gene expression pathway research.

Skin Biology and Dermatological Research

GHK-Cu is widely used in dermatological research models studying collagen synthesis, skin barrier function, angiogenesis, and anti-ageing pathway research.

Anti-Inflammatory Research

Multiple studies have investigated GHK-Cu's anti-inflammatory properties in cell models, including its effects on TNF-alpha and interleukin signalling pathways.

GHK-Cu 100mg is available from Nova Biolabs at £35, from UK domestic stock. The 100mg vial size reflects the compound's lower molecular weight and typical research concentration requirements.

GHK-Cu Storage and Reconstitution

Store lyophilised GHK-Cu at 2–8°C, away from light. Stable up to 24 months. Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water or sterile PBS depending on your research protocol. Use the peptide calculator to determine the correct reconstitution volume for your target concentration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is GHK-Cu available in the UK?
Yes. Nova Biolabs holds GHK-Cu 100mg in UK domestic stock for in vitro laboratory research. HPLC-verified at >98% purity, dispatched same or next business day.
What is GHK-Cu used for in research?
GHK-Cu is used in laboratory research studying wound healing signalling, collagen synthesis, gene expression regulation, anti-inflammatory pathways, and skin biology. It is also studied in longevity and cellular ageing research due to its naturally declining levels with age.
Why is the GHK-Cu vial 100mg rather than 10mg?
GHK-Cu has a lower molecular weight than larger peptide compounds and is typically used at different concentrations in research. The 100mg vial provides a practical quantity for laboratory protocols.
Is GHK-Cu the same as copper peptide?
GHK-Cu is the most widely studied copper peptide in research literature and is often referred to simply as "copper peptide" in dermatological and regenerative biology research.
