GHK-Cu is supplied in Canada as a research chemical for laboratory use only. It is not approved by Health Canada for human or veterinary use and is not sold for consumption.

It is investigated in relation to collagen, extracellular-matrix remodeling, and tissue-repair processes.

Each lot is verified for identity and purity by third-party HPLC analysis, with a COA available.

Every batch of GHK-Cu is HPLC-verified to ≥99% purity, mass-confirmed by ESI-MS, and endotoxin-tested to <0.5 EU/mg. A batch-specific Certificate of Analysis is available on this page and inside every shipment.

Orders placed before 14:00 PT ship same-day from Vancouver via tracked courier. Standard transit is 1–3 business days nationwide. Optional Temperature Protection ($9.99 CAD) adds insulated packaging with phase-change coolant to maintain 2–8°C for heat-sensitive orders.

Yes. A signed COA is downloadable directly from this product page and includes HPLC chromatogram, mass spectrum, sequence confirmation, appearance, water content and endotoxin result — traceable to the batch number printed on your vial.

Peptibolics compounds are supplied strictly for in vitro laboratory research. By ordering you confirm you are a qualified researcher or institution and will not administer product to humans or animals. All sales are final.
