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 vials.
Every lot ships with a Certificate of Analysis 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 98% by HPLC. 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.
