For comparison, the research peptide price index (cost per mg) lists every listing in the catalog, and the 2026 research peptide supplier price ranking (per mg, 10-vial kits) sets kit rates against the market figures the published indexes track.
Cost per milligram
| Specification | Total material | Price | Cost per mg |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 mg x 10 vials | 1000 mg | $165.00 | $0.165/mg |
| 50 mg x 10 vials | 500 mg | $143.00 | $0.286/mg |
| 100 mg x 1 vial | 100 mg | $35.20 | $0.352/mg |
| 50 mg x 1 vial | 50 mg | $28.60 | $0.572/mg |
Choosing a specification
GHK-Cu is listed in 4 specifications. Measured by cost per milligram — the only figure that compares cleanly across different strengths and vial counts — the best value is the 100 mg x 10 vials at $165.00, which works out to $0.165/mg. The least efficient listing is the 50 mg x 1 vial at $28.60, or $0.572/mg — a 3.5× premium per milligram.
The single 100 mg x 1 vial vial at $35.20 exists to evaluate the material before committing to pack quantities; the 100 mg x 10 vials pack brings the rate down to $0.165/mg. Whether that premium is worth paying depends on whether you will consume pack quantities within the material's useful life — unused material is not cheap material. Single vials also ship at the reduced $20.00 rate when ordered alone, and ride along free inside any order containing a pack.
Reconstitution reference
Resulting concentration by vial strength and diluent volume. Arithmetic only, provided for laboratory preparation and dilution planning — this is not dosing guidance. The method is set out in the reconstitution and dilution guide.
| Vial | +1 mL | +2 mL | +3 mL | +5 mL |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50 mg | 50.00 mg/mL | 25.00 mg/mL | 16.67 mg/mL | 10.00 mg/mL |
| 100 mg | 100.00 mg/mL | 50.00 mg/mL | 33.33 mg/mL | 20.00 mg/mL |
Molar reference
Molar quantity per vial at each available strength, calculated from a molecular weight of 400.90 g/mol. Useful where a protocol is specified in molar rather than mass terms. Values are for the free peptide; net peptide content per vial depends on water and counter-ion content stated on the certificate of analysis.
| Vial | Micromoles | Nanomoles |
|---|---|---|
| 50 mg | 124.719 µmol | 124719 nmol |
| 100 mg | 249.439 µmol | 249439 nmol |
How this compares within its class
By best available cost per milligram it ranks 1 of 3 in Copper & Cosmetic, against a class range of $0.165 to $0.482 per mg. It is listed in 4 specifications, against a class median of 2.

Storage and handling
Copper-complexed peptides are supplied as the coloured complex and will produce a blue to blue-green solution on reconstitution. Colour intensity varies between lots with copper loading and is not by itself an indicator of purity. Avoid contact with chelating agents and reducing agents, which can strip the copper from the complex.
- Lyophilised powder: store sealed at −20 °C, protected from light and moisture.
- Bring sealed vials to room temperature before opening, so warm air does not condense moisture onto cold powder.
- Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water directed against the vial wall; do not shake or vortex. Swirl gently until dissolved.
- After reconstitution: store at 2–8 °C and use within the working period established by your laboratory.
- Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles. Aliquot where the solution will be accessed repeatedly.
Full detail in the storage and handling guide.
Documentation
A certificate of analysis is available by request for the batch supplied, covering HPLC purity and mass-spectrometry identity confirmation. The two measurements answer different questions — identity confirms the molecule, purity quantifies how much of the sample it represents. See what each one proves. Where work is planned in peptide rather than powder mass, use the peptide content stated on the certificate: the lyophilised cake also holds water and counter-ions. See the certificate library.

Frequently asked
What specifications of GHK-Cu are available?
GHK-Cu is listed in 4 specifications: 50 mg x 1 vial, 100 mg x 1 vial, 50 mg x 10 vials, 100 mg x 10 vials. Prices are in USD and include the vial.
What is the cheapest way to buy GHK-Cu from Aegis Bio?
The lowest-priced listing is the 50 mg × 1 vial at $28.60, which works out at $0.572 per mg. Delivered that is $48.60, including $20 single-vial shipping. WELCOME10 takes 10% off the items subtotal of a first order at checkout; codes do not apply to items already on sale.
Do you sell GHK-Cu single vials?
Yes. GHK-Cu 50 mg single vials are $28.60 each, and a cart of single vials and bacteriostatic water ships for $20. Single vials ship free alongside a kit. A certificate of analysis is available by request for the lot supplied.
Why does the solution turn blue, and does colour indicate purity?
Copper-complexed peptides are supplied as the coloured complex and produce a blue to blue-green solution on reconstitution. Colour intensity varies between lots with copper loading and is not by itself an indicator of purity — the certificate of analysis is. Avoid chelating and reducing agents, which can strip copper from the complex.
Is a certificate of analysis available for GHK-Cu?
Yes. A certificate of analysis is available by request for the batch supplied, covering HPLC purity and mass-spectrometry identity confirmation. Request the COA for a specific lot before ordering if your protocol requires documentation on file.
How should GHK-Cu be stored?
Store the lyophilised powder sealed at −20 °C, protected from light and moisture. After reconstitution, store at 2–8 °C and avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles. Bring sealed vials to room temperature before opening to avoid condensation onto cold powder.
What does shipping cost?
Carts of single vials and bacteriostatic water ship for $20.00. Any cart containing a kit ships for $50.00 standard or $80.00 expedited, with single vials and bacteriostatic water included free. From 4 kits upward the rate drops to $30.00 standard or $50.00 expedited. Bacteriostatic water is a diluent and never counts as a kit. Anywhere outside the United States ships for a flat $80.00, whatever the cart holds. Shipping is added at checkout and revalidated on the server before the order is accepted.
How is payment handled?
Online checkout accepts on-chain Bitcoin or USDT on Ethereum (ERC-20). Other payment methods are available through WhatsApp. No card details are collected. Orders remain pending until the payment is verified on-chain, after which a confirmation is sent.
