AHK-Cu is a copper-bound tripeptide (Ala-His-Lys), a close relative of GHK-Cu that differs by a single amino acid. Research has focused on hair follicle cells, dermal fibroblasts, and how a small change in copper-peptide structure changes activity in the lab. Supplied as a research peptide for laboratory use only. Not for human or veterinary use.
Studied in hair follicle and dermal papilla cell models
A close relative of GHK-Cu — one amino acid different
100 mg per vial, third-party tested for identity and purity
Five vials normally total $335.00. Today: $275.00 total — you save $60 and pay just $55.00 per vial. The $60-per-5 research discount applies automatically in the cart, before any additional eligible codes.
The most-cited work uses cultured human dermal papilla cells and isolated hair follicles, measuring cell growth, cell survival and follicle elongation in the lab.

Fibroblasts and Collagen
Cell-culture research looks at how dermal fibroblasts produce collagen and elastin and remodel the surrounding matrix when exposed to copper peptides.

The Copper Is the Point
AHK binds copper(II) through its histidine and peptide backbone, much like GHK. Researchers study the peptide and the metal together, and compare AHK-Cu with GHK-Cu to see how one amino acid changes the result.
Here is a plain summary of what the published work on AHK-Cu has actually looked at. These findings describe the studies themselves; they are not claims about what this material will do for anyone.
Dermal Papilla Cell Studies
A 2007 study (Pyo et al., Archives of Pharmacal Research) looked at AHK-Cu on cultured human dermal papilla cells and isolated hair follicles, measuring proliferation, apoptosis and follicle elongation in vitro.
Copper-Peptide Comparisons
Other laboratory work places AHK-Cu next to GHK-Cu and related copper peptides to compare copper binding, fibroblast activity and collagen output in cell culture.
Every lot of AHK-Cu is supplied with identity and purity testing so your research begins from a known material. Because these are research chemicals, peptides are non-returnable once shipped except in the case of a verified shipping error or defective product.
AHK-Cu is a synthetic copper-binding tripeptide made of alanine, histidine and lysine. It is a close relative of GHK-Cu, with alanine in place of glycine. It is studied in hair follicle, dermal papilla and fibroblast cell models. We supply it as a research peptide.
No. It is for laboratory research only. It is not a drug or supplement, is not approved for human or veterinary use, and must not be consumed.
Mostly hair follicle research: dermal papilla cell growth and survival, and follicle elongation in vitro. Also fibroblast and collagen work, and side-by-side comparisons with GHK-Cu.
We cannot tell you that. What is published describes what happened in specific studies under specific conditions, and that is not a forecast for anyone else. If you want to read the research yourself, the compound name to search is AHK-Cu.
As a lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder, 100mg per vial, with a certificate of analysis available for identity and purity.
Add 5 vials of the same peptide and $60 is automatically deducted in the cart. Buy 10 and you save $120 — it is $60 off for every 5.
No. We cannot provide dosing, protocols, or medical guidance. Research design is the responsibility of the qualified purchaser.
