AHK-Cu 200mg is a copper tripeptide powder from Peptide Sciences used in hair-follicle and skin formulation research.
AHK-Cu Research Overview
AHK-Cu (Ala-His-Lys copper complex) is structurally similar to GHK-Cu. In-vitro studies have looked at its effects on dermal papilla cells and hair-follicle growth, as well as collagen production, making it a popular ingredient in hair-care formulation research.

Using the 200mg Powder
Compare with AHK and Pal-AHK to study copper and lipid modifications.
Research Considerations
Hair-research protocols with AHK-Cu commonly use human dermal papilla cells, measuring proliferation and the expression of growth factors such as VEGF, and compare results with minoxidil-treated controls.
Quality Control, COA and Shipping
Peptide Sciences releases a batch only after HPLC purity and mass-spec identity testing confirm the specification. Your order ships with the matching Certificate of Analysis, packed with cold packs to protect the lyophilised material in transit.
