Description
GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine copper complex, also known as Copper Tripeptide-1) is a copper-binding tripeptide first identified in 1973. LiveWell supplies it as a 100mg research-grade vial strictly for in-vitro laboratory research. It is not for human or veterinary use.
Structure
The tripeptide sequence Gly-His-Lys binds Cu²⁺ with high affinity through the histidine imidazole and lysine side chains. This copper-chelating property distinguishes GHK-Cu from the uncomplexed GHK tripeptide, and is the characteristic most often examined in comparative research.
Studied in
- Copper-binding and metal-chelation research
- Extracellular matrix (ECM) remodelling pathway studies
- Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) research
- Gene-expression modulation and antioxidant signalling studies in cell-culture models
Storage & handling
- Store the lyophilized vial refrigerated at 2–8°C, protected from light and heat
- Copper complexes are light-sensitive — avoid prolonged light exposure
- Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water; reconstituted material has a shorter storage window
⚠️ Disclaimer: GHK-Cu is intended solely for laboratory research and in-vitro use. It is not a drug, food, cosmetic, or dietary supplement, and no therapeutic, cosmetic, dermatological or anti-aging claims are made or implied.

Buy GHK-Cu — cGMP Manufactured in Dallas, TX
LiveWell manufactures research-grade GHK-Cu in our cGMP facility in Dallas, Texas. Every vial is third-party tested to verify ≥99% HPLC purity, with a batch-specific COA shown in the gallery and published on our COA page. US orders before 2pm CT (Mon–Fri) ship same-day, with free domestic shipping over $200.
Why copper content matters
GHK-Cu is a copper complex, so the copper-to-peptide ratio and absence of free copper ions directly affect experimental results. Verified identity and purity are particularly relevant, since uncomplexed material behaves differently in assay conditions.
Also available in blends
GHK-Cu is a component of both the KLOW blend (4-peptide) and the GLOW blend (3-peptide).

Frequently Asked Questions
What is GHK-Cu?
GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1) is a copper-binding tripeptide (Gly-His-Lys + Cu²⁺), first identified in 1973. Supplied as a lyophilized vial strictly for in-vitro laboratory research.
What is GHK-Cu studied for in research?
It is examined in copper-binding and metal-chelation research, extracellular matrix remodelling pathway studies, and matrix metalloproteinase research in cell-culture models. Intended strictly for laboratory research use only.
What is the difference between GHK-Cu and GHK?
GHK-Cu is the copper-bound complex, while GHK is the uncomplexed tripeptide. The Cu²⁺ chelation is the property that distinguishes the two forms and is the focus of most comparative research.
What purity is LiveWell GHK-Cu, and is a COA included?
Every batch is third-party tested at ≥99% purity by HPLC, with mass spectrometry identity confirmation. The Certificate of Analysis is shown in the product gallery and published on our COA page.
How should GHK-Cu be stored?
Store refrigerated at 2–8°C, protected from light and heat — copper complexes are light-sensitive. Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water; reconstituted material has a shorter storage window.
Is GHK-Cu a drug or supplement?
No. GHK-Cu is a research compound sold for laboratory use only. It is not a drug, dietary supplement, food, or cosmetic, and administration to humans or animals is prohibited.
Disclaimer: Sold strictly for laboratory and research use only. Not for human consumption. No medical, cosmetic or dermatological claims are made or implied.
