GHK-Cu
Copper Peptide · Oral Dissolving Strip
GHK-Cu (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine) is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide widely studied in skin-, matrix-, and appearance-related research models. This research profile is presented in a needle-free oral dissolving strip format.
Research Focus
- Extracellular matrix
- Copper transport
- Skin & appearance models
- Antioxidant pathways
Areas of Research Interest
In published literature, GHK-Cu has been studied in connection with extracellular-matrix remodeling, copper transport, gene-expression profiles associated with tissue remodeling, and antioxidant activity in cell and skin models. Research interest centers on its role as a copper-carrier peptide.
How the Format Works
The research compound is dispersed within a thin dissolvable film and sealed in a single-portion foil sachet. On contact with moisture, the strip dissolves rapidly, providing a needle-free research format that requires no reconstitution, vials, or syringes.
Format & Handling
Supplied as individually sealed, single-portion oral dissolving strips in foil sachets. Store sachets sealed, cool, dry, and away from direct light. For laboratory research use only — not for human consumption.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is GHK-Cu?
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine) studied in skin- and matrix-related research models.
What is an oral dissolving strip?
A thin dissolvable film sealed in a single-portion foil sachet — a needle-free format that breaks down rapidly on contact with moisture.
How does the strip format differ from the injectable format?
The strip is a ready-to-handle film that requires no reconstitution, vials, or syringes, whereas the injectable is a lyophilized powder that must be reconstituted. Both are supplied strictly for laboratory research use.
How should the strips be stored?
Keep sachets sealed, cool, dry, and out of direct light until use, per standard laboratory practice.
Are these products for human use?
No. All iNGEN MD products, including oral strips, are supplied strictly for laboratory research and are not intended for human or veterinary consumption.
