We Accept:
Independently Verified. Every Batch
Every Aurevena product is sent to an independent, accredited third-party laboratory before it is offered for sale. Certificates of Analysis confirm compound identity, purity percentage, and the absence of harmful contaminants.
COAs are published by lot number so researchers can verify the exact product they receive. We do not sell any product that does not clear our purity threshold.
- Compound identity (HPLC / MS verification)
- Purity percentage (target ≥ 99%)
- Absence of heavy metals
- Lot-number traceability

Description
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine bound to copper) that serves as a key tool compound in dermal and extracellular-matrix research. Laboratory investigators study GHK-Cu for its role in copper transport, collagen and elastin gene expression, fibroblast activity, and matrix-remodeling signaling pathways in vitro and in preclinical systems. Supplied for in-vitro and laboratory research only — not for human or veterinary use.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should I store my peptides?
Lyophilized (powder) peptides should be stored at -20°C for long-term storage or 2-8°C (refrigerator) for short-term. Always protect from light and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
What is your return policy?
We offer damage protection on every order. If your product arrives damaged in transit, contact us with photos for a one-time replacement. All claims require photo evidence and are subject to review. One replacement per customer per order. Reconstituted products are not eligible. We do not offer refunds for change of mind or misuse.
Are your peptides third-party tested?
Yes, every batch is tested by independent, accredited U.S. laboratories for purity verification and Mass Spectrometry for identity confirmation. Test results are published on each product page as Certificates of Analysis (CoA).
How long does shipping take?
Orders are processed within 1-2 business days. Standard shipping typically arrives within 3-5 business days from fulfillment. Express and overnight options are available at checkout. Every order includes free shipment protection.
Do you ship internationally?
