Product information
AHK-Cu is a tripeptide of three amino acids, alanine, histidine and lysine, with a copper ion bound to it. That copper gives the powder its blue colour.
The difference from GHK-Cu lies in the first building block: glycine in GHK-Cu, alanine in AHK-Cu. In the literature, GHK-Cu is mainly about the skin, and AHK-Cu about the hair follicles.
Another peptide in the skin and hair field is SNAP-8. How to dissolve the powder with bacteriostatic water is explained in our reconstitution and storage guide. The full range is listed under Skin, hair & cosmetic.
