Overview
AHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-3) is a copper-complexed tripeptide, L-alanyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine, that functions as a copper-delivery carrier; in published in-vitro and ex-vivo research it has been examined for effects on dermal papilla cell proliferation, VEGF expression, and hair-follicle elongation. It is chemically related to, but sequence-distinct from, the naturally occurring copper peptide GHK-Cu.

FAQ
AHK-Cu ships as a lyophilized (freeze-dried) blue-tinted powder in sealed 20 mg and 50 mg vials. Bulk powder and custom fill weights are available on request. Minimum order is 50 kits (500 vials).
Every production lot includes a batch-linked COA reporting HPLC purity, mass-spectrometry (MS) identity confirmation, and appearance. TDS/SDS and additional third-party COA verification are available for private-label and import files on request.
Standard specification is not less than 99% by HPLC target. Exact per-lot purity, water content, and copper content are stated on the COA; tighter specifications can be quoted for specific formulation or regulatory requirements.
Both are copper-complexed tripeptides, but the sequences differ: AHK-Cu is Ala-His-Lys (Copper Tripeptide-3) while GHK-Cu is Gly-His-Lys (Copper Tripeptide-1). They are distinct compounds with separate CAS numbers and are stocked as separate SKUs.
Yes. We provide OEM and private-label services including custom vial labeling, fill weights, cosmetic-grade documentation, and bulk raw-material supply. Site framing is research-use / B2B; regulatory classification and finished-product compliance in the buyer's market remain the buyer's responsibility.
