What Is GHK-CU 50 mg from Kalpa Pharmaceuticals?
GHK-CU 50 mg is a copper peptide made by Kalpa Pharmaceuticals LTD, India. Its active substance is GHK-CU, a short peptide bound to copper. Each vial holds 50 mg of lyophilized powder, and you mix it with bacteriostatic water before lab work.
Before you order, it helps to know what separates one GHK-CU vial from another, because the powder itself looks the same in every listing.
What To Check In A GHK-CU 50 mg Vial
- Pack size - 50 mg covers several test runs from a single batch.
- Form - lyophilized powder keeps far longer than a ready mixed solution.
- Maker record - Kalpa has supplied research peptides for years, which matters if you need a repeat batch later.
- Storage history - peptides degrade in heat and light, so how a vial travels counts.
- Mixing method - always add water down the side of the vial and roll, never shake.
Research Areas For GHK-CU 50 mg
- Collagen research - studied for how the body builds collagen and elastin.
- Skin studies - examined for skin thickness, tone and texture.
- Wound models - tested in research on how tissue closes and rebuilds.
- Copper transport - looked at for how copper moves inside cells.
- Antioxidant work - studied for its effect on oxidative stress markers.
These are research findings only. GHK-CU 50 mg is sold for laboratory work, not as a medicine.
Vial Details
- Manufacturer: Kalpa Pharmaceuticals
- Pharmaceutical name: GHK-CU
- Pack: vial, 50 mg per vial
- Form: lyophilized powder for stability
How To Store GHK-CU 50 mg
Keep the sealed vial in a cool, dark and dry place. Once mixed, store it in a fridge between 2 and 8 degrees Celsius and use it within a few weeks. Do not shake it. Roll it between your hands to mix, and work with clean tools every time.
Stacks Other Labs Use
Copper peptides are usually run with other repair compounds. GHK-CU 50 mg by British Dragon is a second source for the same tests, and GHK-Cu 50mg by Dragon Pharma is a European option. Many labs pair it with BPC 157 by Peptide Hubs for the repair side of the work. Everything sits in our SARMS and Peptides category.
Common Questions About GHK-CU 50 mg
Is GHK-CU the same as GHK-Cu?
Yes. Only the writing changes. Both name the same copper peptide.
Do I need a prescription?
No. You can buy GHK-CU 50 mg without prescription from our shop.
Why 50 mg instead of 10 mg?
A larger vial means one consistent batch across a longer study. The 10 mg vial suits a short first run.

Reconstitution & Storage
Mixing a peptide takes about a minute. What people usually get wrong is what happens afterwards. Work through the steps in the guide above, then store the vial the way we lay out further down.

How to Reconstitute
The five steps above cover it. Let the vial and the bacteriostatic water sit out until they reach room temperature. Then run the bacteriostatic water down the inside wall of the vial, slowly, so it does not foam up. Swirl it gently until the powder is gone. Do not shake the vial, and do not squirt the bacteriostatic water straight onto the powder.
How to Store the Mixed Peptide
As soon as it is mixed, put the vial back in the fridge. 2 to 8°C (35.6°F to 46.4°F) is what you want, and it stays there until you have used it up. Write the mixing date on the label. Do not rely on memory for that.
- Temperature: an ordinary fridge, 2 to 8°C (35.6°F to 46.4°F). Not the freezer, not a kitchen cupboard.
- How long it lasts: around 4 weeks. Anything past 28 days goes in the bin.
- Light: keep it in the box or in a dark drawer. Light breaks peptides down.
- Handling: wipe the stopper with an alcohol swab before each draw, use a new needle and do not shake it. Swirl if it needs a mix.
- Freezing: never freeze a mixed solution. Ice crystals form, and a freeze and thaw cycle costs you potency.
- Throw it out if: the liquid goes cloudy, changes colour, or you can see particles in it.
The dry powder is much easier to keep. Store it dry and away from light, at room temperature if it is only for a short while, or at -20°C for the long term. Only mix what you are going to use.
