GHK Basic (50mg)
GHK is the copper-free form of the tripeptide glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine, a sequence found naturally in human plasma and released from collagen during tissue injury. Supplied without copper for studies where the metal is introduced separately.

About GHK Basic (50mg)
Supplying it copper-free lets the copper-to-peptide ratio be set deliberately rather than inherited from the manufacturing step.
Like everything in the Cosmetic peptides range, this vial is lyophilized, sealed, and accompanied by third-party purity documentation for its batch.

Handling, reconstitution and storage
Store the sealed vial of lyophilized GHK Basic at -20°C, protected from light. Allow it to reach room temperature before opening so that moisture does not condense onto the powder.
Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water directed down the inside wall of the vial rather than onto the cake, and swirl instead of shaking — mechanical agitation is the most common cause of degradation in peptide handling. Keep reconstituted solution at 2-8°C and validate its working life for your own assay conditions.
