GHK-Cu – Glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine Supplement
GHK-Cu - a multifunctional peptide for special tasks
GHK is a tripeptide that, thanks to its high affinity for copper ions, easily binds to them. This created GHK-Cu, a copper peptide (metallopeptide) with exceptional anti-aging, regenerative, anti-inflammatory and even anti-cancer properties.
Although it has been used primarily as a cosmetic ingredient for years, it can also be an ally in the fight against so-called "neurodegenerative diseases. neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's.
GHK-Cu - action
The action of copper peptide, which belongs to the group of signal peptides, is primarily to "induce" the body (i.e. give a signal) to a specific reaction. Such a reaction can be, for example, the initiation of some process or the production of a specific substance in a larger than usual amount.
In the case of GHK-Cu, these include.:
- increased production of collagen and elastin,
- increased work of skin fibroblasts,
- proficient repair of damaged tissues,
- anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects,
- antioxidant effects,
- regenerative and protective effects against nerves,
- improving immune system function,
- stimulating hair growth.
GHK-Cu - effects
Now it's time for what you're sure to be most interested in. We are talking about the effects that may appear after starting the peptide treatment. It is worth adding at the outset, however, that an important element of successful therapy is the proper selection of the method of administration of the peptide. Thus, a person who counts on the effect of skin rejuvenation usually opts for GHK-Cu in a cream or serum, while another may choose subcutaneous injections. Each form of administration has its pros and cons, which depend primarily on one's own preferences.
The effects of an adequate supply of copper peptide are primarily:
- firm, healthy and tightened skin,
- balanced skin tone (especially important for those dealing with hyperpigmentation),
- faster wound healing - including those associated with diabetes,
- better post-workout recovery,
- improved overall immunity,
- increased hair growth,
- improved effects against neurodegenerative diseases.
GHK-Cu peptide in Biolab products
In our offer you will find as many as three most popular forms of copper peptide administration: cream, serum, as well as powder for making an injectable solution. Take a closer look at specific products with us and see which one will be the answer to your needs.
Advanced skin problems
For problems such as multiple hyperpigmentation, deep wrinkles or signs of photoaging, we recommend copper peptide in the form of a concentrated serum Super Cop 2x or an intensive serum Super GHK Copper Serum (also available in smaller capacity). Both products can be confidently described as anti-aging weapons that will make your skin supple and regain a healthy, youthful appearance.
A serum skin care routine will also be perfectly complemented by creams: Crepey Skin Escape with a high concentration of GHK-Cu and 3% GHK Vip Luxury Cream with triple the amount of original copper and density, making it an extremely efficient product.
Delicate skin problems
Some areas of the skin require special delicacy, as they are easily weakened. Such areas can certainly include the skin on the décolletage and neck, which often gets thin as parchment in older people. No wonder - these are the areas exposed to constant sunlight.
As a solution, we suggest the cream Perfect Lift Time Remedy, which not only thickens delicate skin, but also gives it a glow (thanks to the addition of pomegranate seed oil). This cosmetic with effective action can be successfully used as part of your daily care.
Regeneration and Resilience
Do you care about more than just aesthetic and rejuvenating effects? You can choose to purchase the product to prepare your own peptide solution.
GHK-Cu in its pure form can be found in our store in a package of 50 mg or 20 mg, and you can check its exact concentration in the "research" tab.
Multi-action for health and beauty
These products are for those who want results in multiple areas or enhancement in one area. GHK-Cu + Epithalon is a combination of two peptides with synergistic effects. Both exhibit powerful anti-aging, antioxidant and immune system-boosting effects. Interestingly, epithalon additionally can also help regulate the body's hormonal balance, thus influencing better mood and higher quality of sleep.
With the fairer sex in mind, we have also prepared the Glow to the show kit, which - in addition to copper peptide - also contains snap-8 peptide and CJC-DAC complex. All the elements of this kit have a positive effect on both the complexion, skin and hair, making users feel better about their bodies. It's the perfect gift for someone or for... yourself.
Why choose GHK-Cu copper peptide?
There are many products and supplements available on the market whose makers promise miraculous results. However, to a large extent these are synthetic agents or those in which - despite the natural origin of the substance in question - one can also find additional ingredients that are no longer entirely beneficial. Meanwhile, GHK-Cu is something completely natural for your body, since this peptide is derived from human plasma, and is usually activated, for example, under the influence of trauma.
The small size of the peptide's molecules is also important. It is thanks to them that GHK-Cu can penetrate the deepest layers of the skin and has found such widespread use in cosmetics.
We should not forget about the issue of safety, especially important for conscious consumers. The good news for them will be that in studies over many years, GHK-Cu has not been shown to cause any severe or dangerous side effects.

What is GHK-Cu?
GHK-Cu is a copper complex formed from the tripeptide Glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine and a divalent copper ion. Its structure allows stable chelation of copper through amino and imidazole groups, creating a compound suitable for controlled biochemical research. The defined molecular composition makes it a common reference material in studies involving metal peptide interactions. In laboratory settings, GHK-Cu serves as a model compound for examining copper binding, redox behaviour, and peptide-metal coordination. Its predictable structure supports use in spectroscopic analysis, chromatography, and mass spectrometry. Researchers rely on it as a benchmark when assessing the stability and behaviour of copper complexes in buffered solutions. The compound is also applied in experimental systems focused on protein synthesis regulation and extracellular matrix modelling. Due to its affinity for copper, it aids in the study of enzyme systems influenced by metal ions, including metalloproteinases and antioxidant enzymes. These properties position GHK-Cu as a practical research reagent rather than a theoretical construct. Because its chemical profile is well described, GHK-Cu is often selected for comparative studies that require reproducibility across laboratories. BIOLAB supplies this compound strictly as a laboratory reagent, in accordance with documented analytical standards and a consistent formulation.
What does GHK-Cu do?
In experimental research, GHK-Cu is used to observe how copper complexes interact with biological systems at a molecular level. Studies conducted in vitro and in animal models show that this compound influences enzymatic activity involved in protein turnover and extracellular matrix dynamics. Its presence affects pathways involved in collagen regulation, glycosaminoglycan balance, and structural protein synthesis. Laboratory data indicate that GHK-Cu modulates the activity of matrix metalloproteinases and their inhibitors, supporting controlled investigation of tissue remodelling processes. Researchers also use it to study redox reactions, as the copper ion in the complex participates in electron-transfer mechanisms relevant to oxidative stress models. In gene expression research, GHK-Cu has been used to analyse changes in genes associated with regeneration, inflammation mediators, and antioxidant defence systems. Experimental models show its role in signalling pathways linked to growth factors and cellular differentiation, including TGFβ- and IGF-related mechanisms. These characteristics make GHK-Cu a useful tool for structured laboratory studies focused on regeneration, fibrosis models, and metal-dependent biochemical processes. BIOLAB provides this compound for research use only, with concentration data that support precise experimental design and repeatable results.
