About AHK-Cu
What is AHK-Cu?
Overview
What is AHK-Cu?
AHK-Cu is a copper complex of the tripeptide alanine-histidine-lysine. It is a close relative of GHK-Cu, with alanine in place of glycine, and is studied mainly in hair-follicle and skin cell research. Its evidence base is much smaller than GHK-Cu's: most of it is cell and organ-culture work. Supplied as a lyophilised powder in sealed vials, boxed in tens, for laboratory research use only.

| Documentation | Batch-specific third-party COA |
These are catalogue target specifications, not batch results. The 99%+ purity figure is the specification we buy to. The authoritative figures for any particular box are the ones printed on that box’s Certificate of Analysis, which is lot-specific. What research grade actually means explains the difference. Terms such as HPLC purity and net peptide content are explained in the peptide glossary.
We make no “third-party verified” claim for a batch unless the matching report is supplied with it. Ask for the current COA for the lot in stock before you order — we will send it.

Storage & reconstitution
Handling
How should AHK-Cu be stored and reconstituted?
Sealed vials tolerate ambient temperature in transit and keep at −20 °C beyond that. Reconstitute slowly down the vial wall, swirl rather than shake, then refrigerate at 2–8 °C and aliquot before freezing.
Why each of those matters, and what a freeze–thaw cycle actually costs: peptide handling and storage reference. How long a mixed vial keeps: reconstituted peptide shelf life.
What it is researched for
Research Context
What is AHK-Cu researched for?
Below is a plain-English summary of what published research has investigated, and what it has found. These are descriptions of research activity and published results. They are not claims about what AHK-Cu does, and nothing here is a statement that it is safe or effective for any purpose.
Hair-follicle research
In cultured human hair follicles, the copper tripeptide increased follicle elongation and the growth of dermal papilla cells, and reduced cell death in those cells. 1
What is not established
Whether the cell-culture findings carry over to living skin. No controlled human study has been published.

Laboratory uses
Applications
Where AHK-Cu is used in the laboratory
- Hair-follicle research, including dermal papilla cell and isolated follicle models
- Copper-peptide chemistry, as a structural comparison with GHK-Cu
- Skin cell research on collagen and the extracellular matrix
- Cosmetic formulation research
Batch COA
Verification
Does AHK-Cu come with a COA?
Yes — every box. Each batch of AHK-Cu is analysed by an independent third-party laboratory, and the certificate is tied to the batch number on the vial label.
Example COA. You receive the certificate matching your own batch.
Questions & answers
Questions
AHK-Cu questions, answered
How is AHK-Cu different from GHK-Cu?
They differ by one amino acid: AHK-Cu has alanine where GHK-Cu has glycine. GHK-Cu occurs naturally in human plasma and has a much larger research record, including human skin studies. AHK-Cu is a synthetic analogue studied mainly in hair-follicle cell models.
Is AHK-Cu approved?
No. It appears in some topical cosmetic products, but the research material sold here is not a cosmetic or a medicine, and is not for human consumption.
How much does AHK-Cu cost?
AHK-Cu starts at $8.03 per vial, sold in boxes of 10 vials at $80.28 per box (about £60.15). 2 strengths available: 50 mg, 100 mg. There is no minimum order.
Can I buy AHK-Cu 50mg vials in the UK?
Yes. AHK-Cu 50mg comes in boxes of 10 vials at $80.28 per box ($8.03 per vial, about £60.15 per box), sent tracked to UK addresses. There is no minimum order.
How is AHK-Cu shipped to the UK and USA?
Tracked to the UK, USA, EU and worldwide, in plain packaging, dispatched within 1–2 working days. Country-by-country estimates are on the shipping page.
