Frequently asked questions
What is GHK-Cu?
GHK-Cu is the naturally occurring tripeptide glycyl-histidyl-lysine bound to a copper(II) ion.
What do researchers study GHK-Cu for?
Studied for copper transport and for its influence on gene expression related to extracellular matrix and antioxidant enzymes.
Where can I find the Certificate of Analysis?
In the COA tab on this page. Reports come from independent third-party laboratories, are tied to a specific batch, and carry a verification key that can be checked on the testing lab’s website.
Is GHK-Cu for human use?
No. Karma Research Peptides supplies GHK-Cu strictly for in-vitro laboratory research. It is not for human or animal consumption, and we do not provide dosing or human-use guidance.
