View certificates of analysisThis peptide is analyzed by an accredited US third-party laboratory before it ships.
Identity and purity confirmed by MZ Biolabs (Tucson, AZ), a US DEA-licensed analytical facility, via HPLC purity analysis and mass-spectrometry identity confirmation under GLP standards.
Our third-party certificates of analysis are published on our website — no login required.
Peptides are photo- and temperature-sensitive; handle per standard laboratory practice.
Quality control across the research-peptide industry is inconsistent, and many suppliers do not publish third-party testing for their products. Independent verification of identity and purity is essential for reproducible research.
Verified by MZ Biolabs (Tucson, AZ), an accredited US laboratory, via HPLC and mass spectrometry, with batch-linked COAs.
While this peptide is not bottled in the USA, every batch is third-party tested here to verify identity and purity.
Supports chain-of-custody, label transparency, and batch-linked traceability.

GHK-Cu is the copper(II) complex of the tripeptide glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine (Gly-His-Lys, abbreviated GHK). The GHK tripeptide occurs naturally in human plasma, saliva, and urine, and binds copper ions with high affinity; the copper-bound complex is what is supplied here. Its characteristic blue-purple color comes from the coordinated copper(II) ion.
Mechanistically, it is characterized in the biochemical literature as a copper-binding (copper-coordinating) tripeptide. It is studied as a research chemical to investigate GHK and copper-peptide biology in experimental models.
GHK-Cu is supplied here strictly as a research chemical for laboratory research. Sports Technology Labs makes no claims regarding its effects, and nothing in this listing should be interpreted as describing outcomes in humans or animals.
This research-grade material is not a drug, food, supplement, or cosmetic product and is not for human or animal use. Although GHK-Cu appears as an ingredient in some commercial cosmetics, this material is supplied solely as a research chemical and is not such a product.
GHK-Cu is not currently listed on the World Anti-Doping Agency Prohibited List.
In the United States, GHK-Cu is not a controlled substance and may be legally purchased and possessed for laboratory research use. Other jurisdictions may regulate it differently.
Sports Technology Labs are chemical suppliers, not medical providers. We do not condone or encourage consumer use of research compounds.
