The primary working range for consistent follicle support.
Research focus
Hair follicle stimulation

Primary pathway
Dermal papilla cells (DPC), VEGF, TGF-β1
All dosing figures are extrapolated from GHK-Cu community protocols (a structurally related compound differing by one amino acid) — no AHK-Cu-specific injectable data exists, published or community-sourced. No human clinical trial supports injectable administration of either compound. For research use only.
MANFAAT PROTOKOL
◆
Directly stimulates dermal papilla cells — the master regulators at the base of each hair follicle — while protecting them from programmed cell death.
◆
Increases VEGF to improve blood supply to follicles, while suppressing TGF-β1, the signal that pushes follicles prematurely out of the growth phase.
◆
One amino acid swap from GHK-Cu redirects the entire effect — trading broad tissue repair for a mechanism concentrated specifically on the follicle microenvironment.
SAINS
AHK-Cu is a copper tripeptide — alanine, histidine, lysine, bound to copper — differing from its sister peptide GHK-Cu by a single amino acid substitution. That one change redirects the biology: instead of GHK-Cu's broad tissue-remodeling activity, AHK-Cu concentrates specifically on dermal papilla cells, the fibroblasts controlling each follicle's growth cycle.
The mechanism data comes from Seoul National University's ex vivo and in vitro research, not a human injectable trial — AHK-Cu increased VEGF, suppressed TGF-β1, and cut two separate cell-death markers by 43% and 78% at very low concentrations. Systemic delivery via injection follows the pattern set by its sister compound GHK-Cu, which research communities have used subcutaneously for years to extend copper-peptide signaling beyond the skin's surface — though neither compound has a published human trial confirming an optimal injectable protocol.
YANG DIHARAPKAN
Effects build on the hair growth cycle's own timeline, not overnight — anagen, the active growth phase, runs 2-7 years regardless of intervention. Community-cited injectable cycles for this compound class run 4-8 weeks active, followed by a break before resuming.

FAQ
A single amino acid substitution — alanine in place of glycine — shifts AHK-Cu's mechanism away from GHK-Cu's broad tissue-repair activity and concentrates it specifically on dermal papilla cells at the hair follicle.
No AHK-Cu-specific injectable dosing data exists — published or community-sourced. The figures here are extrapolated from GHK-Cu's community SC protocol, the closest structural analog available.
PRODUK TERKAIT
AHK-CU · EKSPLORASI PEPTIDE DI INDONESIA
AHK-Cu merupakan salah satu copper peptide dalam koleksi NovaLabs. Halaman produk mencantumkan komposisi Ala-His-Lys yang berikatan dengan tembaga, serta ukuran 50mg. Informasi ini membantu membedakan nama senyawa, jumlah bahan yang tercantum pada produk, dan jenis kemasan yang ditampilkan. Sebutan copper peptide sendiri mencakup lebih dari satu senyawa, sehingga nama lengkap tetap menjadi acuan utama ketika memeriksa suatu produk.
Halaman AHK-Cu menyediakan tautan sertifikat analisis. Melalui dokumen uji laboratorium, periksa nama sampel, nomor batch, metode, dan hasil yang benar-benar dilaporkan. Cocokkan dokumen dengan label barang yang diterima, sebab laporan untuk batch lain belum tentu menggambarkan sampel yang sedang diperiksa.
COA berguna untuk memahami hasil pengujian tertentu; cakupannya mengikuti parameter dalam laporan. Keberadaan COA tidak otomatis membuktikan keamanan untuk manusia. AHK-Cu di NovaLabs dicantumkan untuk keperluan riset. Informasi komposisi, kemasan, dan dokumentasi membantu penilaian produk tanpa mengubah status tersebut.
Halaman produk mencantumkan AHK-Cu 50mg. Cocokkan ukuran tersebut dengan label dan dokumen batch saat pemeriksaan.
Keduanya memiliki komposisi berbeda. AHK-Cu mencantumkan alanin, sedangkan GHK-Cu menggunakan glisin pada posisi awal.
