AHK-Cu 100 mg
AHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-3) is a specialized copper-binding peptide that has become a key focus of modern hair follicle and scalp research. Structurally related to GHK-Cu, AHK-Cu differs by a single amino acid, resulting in a peptide that has been investigated primarily for its potential effects on dermal papilla cell activity, hair follicle signaling, and scalp tissue biology. Preclinical research has shown that AHK-Cu may support pathways associated with follicular growth, including increased VEGF expression and prolonged anagen (growth phase) activity, making it one of the most targeted copper peptides for hair-related research. Human clinical evidence remains limited, and most published work is from cell and ex vivo follicle models.
NextEdge Peptides AHK-Cu 100 mg is manufactured to rigorous quality standards and undergoes comprehensive third-party analytical testing to verify identity, purity, and quality. Every batch includes publicly verifiable Certificates of Analysis, providing researchers with confidence and transparency for every vial.
