GHK-Cu is a copper(II) coordination complex of the tripeptide glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine. Unlike the other materials on this catalogue it is a metal complex rather than a peptide alone, and the copper is integral to the compound's identity — not an additive.
A visual note, because it catches people out: GHK-Cu is a deep blue to blue-violet powder, not white. The colour comes from the copper(II) centre and is the first thing to check on receipt. A white or off-white powder sold as GHK-Cu warrants a query.

FAQ
What colour should GHK-Cu be? Deep blue to blue-violet. The colour derives from the copper(II) centre. White powder sold as GHK-Cu should be questioned.
What is the CAS number for GHK-Cu? 89030-95-5 for the copper complex. The free tripeptide GHK without copper is 49557-75-7 — a different material.
Is GHK-Cu a peptide? It's a metal-peptide complex: the tripeptide glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine coordinated to copper(II).
Why is this supplied in 50mg vials rather than 10mg? GHK-Cu has a much lower molecular weight than the peptides on this catalogue (401.91 g/mol), so a given molar quantity corresponds to considerably less mass. The 50mg fill reflects typical laboratory requirements.
