These certifications ensure that the product meets the necessary standards for quality, purity, and safety
The exact reason for this is not yet understood
Certificate of Analysis Each batch is tested by an independent third-party laboratory for: Peptide identity verification Purity analysis via HPLC (99%) Microbial contaminant screening Heavy metal analysis Residual solvent testing Description GHK-Cu is the copper(II) complex of the tripeptide glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine, supplied as a lyophilized 50mg vial
Many patients choose glutathione treatment for cosmetic enhancement while also benefiting from its broader wellness effects
What a COA (Certificate of Analysis) Should Include Identity Confirmation Mass spectrometry confirming correct molecular weight (~401 Da for GHK-Cu, ~340 Da for GHK alone) Explicit identification of the product as GHK-Cu (copper complex), not GHK alone Amino acid sequence verification matching Gly-His-Lys Purity Testing HPLC purity look for 98%+ purity HPLC chromatogram should show a single dominant peak Copper content analysis (atomic absorption or ICP-MS) confirming stoichiometric chelation Contamination Testing Endotoxin levels (bacterial contamination) Residual solvent analysis (acetonitrile, TFA) Heavy metals screening (other than the intentional copper) How to Verify a COA Is Legitimate Check the testing lab Reputable labs include Janoshik Analytical, MZ Biolabs, and Colmaric Analyticals
[8] The scientific community has known for over 30 years that single-dose oral glutathione (150 mol/kg) produced no detectable plasma increases over 4.5 hours in healthy adults
