Important Product Information

This product is supplied as a research material. Researchers and purchasers are responsible for ensuring that their intended use complies with applicable laws, regulations, institutional requirements, and laboratory procedures.

Product identity, purity, analytical results, copper content, and other specifications should be verified against the applicable batch-specific Certificate of Analysis (COA) where available.

FDA’s current compounding materials identify injectable GHK-Cu as presenting potential safety considerations involving immunogenicity, aggregation, peptide-related impurities, and limited human safety information. This listing therefore makes no representation regarding safety or suitability for administration.
