About AHK-Cu 100mg
Copper peptides work by delivering Cu(II) in a form that is bioavailable but redox-buffered, which matters because free copper is cytotoxic. AHK-Cu and GHK-Cu share that mechanism but differ in the reported downstream emphasis: GHK-Cu literature centres on collagen synthesis and wound remodelling, while AHK-Cu is more often studied in the context of VEGF expression and dermal papilla cell proliferation. This 100mg vial is a large presentation appropriate for topical formulation work and extended cell culture series, where copper peptides are typically used at low concentration over many replicates.
Storage and reconstitution
Store lyophilized peptide at -20°C in a dry, dark environment. Reconstitute in bacteriostatic water. Once reconstituted, store at 2-8°C and use within 30 days. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Lyophilized powder is stable at room temperature for shipping and short-term storage.
Shipping within Canada
Orders placed before 2:00 PM Pacific on a business day are packed and dispatched the same day. Orders placed after that cut-off, or on a weekend or statutory holiday, are dispatched on the next business day. Parcels leave British Columbia, Canada and travel entirely within the country, so nothing on this order crosses a border, clears customs or is held by CBSA. Orders over CA$200 ship free; see the shipping page for transit times by province.
