The copper peptide for hair
The ReferenceBenefits, protocols and preparationOpen the reference →The GHK-Cu cousin that looks after hair.
Stimulates the dermal papilla in cultured follicles.
Slows programmed death of follicle cells.
Collagen synthesis signal in fibroblasts.
Bound copper supports antioxidant defenses.
Peptides often synergize. These are the most studied combinations with this product, and what outcome they target.
Any combination must respect each peptide's protocol. If you have doubts about dosing or timing, message us before starting.
AHK-Cu is a copper tripeptide (alanine-histidine-lysine), a cousin of GHK-Cu, with a particular affinity for the hair follicle.
SuperBio Labs AHK-Cu is supplied as lyophilized powder with HPLC purity ≥99%, with a Certificate of Analysis per lot.
In cultured human follicles it lengthened the follicle and stimulated dermal papilla cells, the cells that direct hair growth (Pyo, 2007). Where GHK-Cu leans toward skin, AHK-Cu leans toward hair.

About supplies: the quantity of syringes and wipes adjusts automatically based on the presentation you choose. For extended cycles (AHK-Cu, GHK-Cu and similar) we cap supplies at 30 days — beyond that, 29G insulin syringes and 70% alcohol wipes are pharmacy items available without prescription in any city.
This product meets all five — your batch COA ships with the kit.
The official protocol included in the kit. If you have pre-existing medical conditions, consult a professional before starting.
No ramp-up: 1 mg from week 1 through 6.
Combine with TB-500 for accelerated recovery. Local application recommended.
Density and thickness · the main use.
Applied to the scalp after microneedling.
Temporary shedding · follicle support.
Skin and hair in one protocol · separate syringes.
Collagen · secondary use.
Lab evidence and cosmetic use; injected, the track record is short.
Most common when injected: stinging or itching at the site (dilute well and rotate sites) · passing redness. Separate syringe from other peptides. Contraindicated in Wilson's disease, copper allergy and severe liver failure. Pregnancy and breastfeeding: no data.
