What Is GHK-CU 50 mg?
GHK-CU 50 mg is a copper peptide made by British Dragon Pharmaceuticals. GHK-Cu is a small peptide that carries copper, and it is one of the most studied compounds in skin and repair research. Every vial holds 50 mg of lyophilized powder, which you mix with bacteriostatic water before lab work.
The copper ion is the working part. It helps the peptide team up with enzymes that build collagen, which is why labs keep coming back to this compound.
Why Researchers Buy GHK-CU 50 mg
Most work with GHK-Cu looks at a few areas:
- Collagen research - studied for how it may support collagen and elastin production.
- Skin remodeling - used in models of skin thickness, tone and texture.
- Wound healing - tested in repair research on skin and soft tissue.
- Hair research - looked at for follicle size and hair growth studies.
- Antioxidant studies - examined for its effect on oxidative stress markers.
These are research findings only. GHK-CU 50 mg is sold for laboratory work, not as a medicine.
What You Get In Each GHK-CU 50 mg Vial
- Manufacturer: British Dragon Pharmaceuticals
- Pharmaceutical name: GHK-CU
- Pack: vial, 50 mg per vial
- Form: lyophilized powder for stability
Dry powder keeps far longer than a mixed solution, so leave the vial sealed until you are ready to use it.
How To Store GHK-CU 50 mg
Keep the sealed vial in a cool, dark and dry place. Light and heat break peptides down. Once mixed, store the vial in a fridge between 2 and 8 degrees Celsius and use it within a few weeks. Do not shake it, roll the vial gently between your hands instead.
Often Researched Together With
GHK-Cu is rarely studied on its own. Labs often compare it with GHK-Cu 50mg by Dragon Pharma and the lighter GHK-Cu 10mg vial, which suits smaller test batches. If you want another maker, we also stock GHK-Cu 50 mg by Axiolabs. Many studies run it next to BPC-157 5mg, since both are used in tissue repair work. Every option sits on our Peptides and SARMS page.
Common Questions About GHK-CU 50 mg
Is GHK-CU 50 mg the same as GHK-Cu?
Yes. GHK-CU, GHK-Cu and copper peptide all name the same substance. Only the spelling changes.
Do I need a prescription?
No. You can buy GHK-CU 50 mg without prescription from our shop.
How should I mix the powder?
Add bacteriostatic water slowly down the side of the vial, then roll it gently. Do not shake.

| Key facts |
| What it is |
A copper-binding tripeptide (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine) linked to skin renewal, collagen support, and tissue remodeling |
| Usual route |
Injection under the skin (subcutaneous), once a day |
| Typical cycle |
30 days on, 30 days off, so the provider can reassess before continuing |
| Dosing approach |
It works as a signaling peptide because of its copper component, so a higher dose is not automatically better |
| Often paired with |
BPC-157 and TB-500 in tissue-repair discussions |
| Possible side effects |
Reactions at the injection spot, sensitivity to copper, tiredness |
| Do not use if |
Pregnant, breastfeeding, with Wilson's disease or another copper storage disorder, or without clinician supervision |

Reconstitution & Storage
Mixing a peptide takes about a minute. Keeping it good afterwards is the part most people get wrong, so follow the guide below and then store the vial the way we describe underneath it.

How to Reconstitute
Follow the five steps in the guide above. Bring the vial and the diluent to room temperature first, add the bacteriostatic water slowly down the inside wall so it does not foam and swirl gently until the powder is fully dissolved. Never shake the vial and never spray the bacteriostatic water straight onto the powder.
How to Store the Mixed Peptide
Once it is mixed, the vial goes back in the refrigerator at 2 to 8°C (35.6°F to 46.4°F) and stays there until you have used it. Write the mixing date on the vial so the clock is visible, not remembered.
- Temperature: a normal fridge, 2 to 8°C (35.6°F to 46.4°F). Not the freezer, not a kitchen cupboard.
- Shelf life: about 4 weeks. Past 28 days, discard it.
- Light: keep it in the box or a dark drawer. Direct light degrades peptides.
- Handling: swab the stopper before each draw, use a fresh needle and never shake the vial. Swirl gently if it needs mixing.
- Freezing: do not freeze a mixed solution. Ice crystals and freeze-thaw cycles cut potency.
- Dispose if: the liquid turns cloudy, changes colour, or shows visible particles.
Unmixed powder is far easier to store. Keep it dry, out of light, at room temperature for short periods or at -20°C for the long term and reconstitute only what you plan to use.
