GHK Basic 50 mg – Peptide Hubs
GHK (Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine) is a naturally occurring copper-binding peptide well-regarded for its powerful tissue-repairing, anti-aging, and regenerative effects. The "Basic" variant offered by Peptide Hubs provides 50 mg of high-purity GHK in a lyophilized 2 mL vial, ideal for advanced research into skin regeneration, wound healing, and cellular rejuvenation.
What Is GHK Basic?
GHK is a tripeptide with the unique ability to bind copper ions (Cu2+), forming GHK-Cu, which has been shown to stimulate collagen production, support wound healing, modulate inflammation, and enhance hair and skin regeneration. While GHK-Cu is widely known, studies show that the GHK base peptide also exhibits profound biological activity on its own, particularly in gene expression and tissue remodeling.
Mechanism of Action
GHK modulates over 4,000 human genes, many of which are involved in inflammation reduction, tissue remodeling, antioxidant defense, and stem cell stimulation. It promotes fibroblast proliferation, improves angiogenesis, and enhances skin elasticity and firmness. For further context, see this NIH review on GHK peptide and its regenerative potential.

Dosage & Usage Guidelines
GHK Basic 50 mg is commonly used in experimental models focused on:
- Wound healing and tissue regeneration
- Anti-aging and skin tightening effects
- Post-surgical skin recovery
- Hair follicle stimulation and growth support
- Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory modulation
In cosmetic and dermatological research protocols, GHK is often compared or combined with B7-33 for anti-fibrotic properties or Cartalax to explore musculoskeletal repair in aging models.
Suggested Experimental Use
- Dosage: 1–5 mg daily (varies by study)
- Administration: Subcutaneous or intradermal
- Cycle Duration: 10–30 days in regenerative models
Stacking Options
GHK Basic can be stacked in synergistic research protocols with:
- DSIP – for improving sleep recovery and hormonal balance
- Chonluten – for immune or lung recovery support
- FOX04-DRI – for anti-aging/senescence-clearing protocols
- AOD 9604 – to promote localized fat metabolism and recovery
Safety & Legal Status
GHK Basic is considered safe in preclinical settings and exhibits no hormonal, androgenic, or hepatotoxic effects. It does not aromatize, increase blood pressure, or cause systemic side effects. Like all Peptide Hubs products, it is intended for research use only and is not approved by the FDA for human consumption. See updates on regenerative peptide trials on ClinicalTrials.gov.

Storage
Store the lyophilized powder at controlled room temperature (15–25°C) in a dry, dark place, away from direct light and moisture. The unopened vial should be kept in its original packaging to maintain stability.
After reconstitution, store the solution at 2–8°C and use within 14 days. Do not freeze. Discard any unused portion after the recommended storage period. Before use, inspect the solution and avoid use if it appears cloudy, discolored, or contains particulate matter, or if the vial or seal is compromised.
Keep out of reach of children. Follow proper handling and sterile injection practices during research use.
Proper storage conditions help maintain product stability and consistent performance across the product's shelf life.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is GHK Basic used for?
GHK Basic is used in research for tissue regeneration, collagen production, wound healing, and anti-aging effects in dermatological and cellular studies.
Is GHK the same as GHK-Cu?
No. GHK is the base peptide that binds copper to form GHK-Cu. Both show biological activity, though GHK alone is also effective in many regenerative models.
How is GHK administered in research?
GHK is typically administered via subcutaneous or intradermal injection in experimental models, depending on the study's design and targeted outcome.
Is GHK Basic legal for human use?
No. GHK Basic is not FDA-approved for human consumption and is sold for laboratory research use only in the United States and other countries.
