What GHK-Cu costs
What moves the price, how to compare two listings, and why no figures appear here. This site sells nothing and links to no seller today.
What GHK-Cu sells for is driven by four things, and only one of them is about the material itself. This page sets out all four, and explains how to compare two listings without being misled by the one that varies most.
It carries no prices, and that is deliberate rather than an omission. This site sells nothing and links to no seller, and the editorial standard it publishes under puts prices on the list of things it does not print, alongside carts, order buttons and stock indicators.
What is worth knowing is structural, and this compound has a structural quirk its shelf-mates do not. A topical product containing copper tripeptide-1 and a vial of the powder are sold through different channels under different laws, and comparing their prices is comparing a formulated cosmetic against a raw material.

What drives the price
Format is the largest factor and it is not a like-for-like comparison at all. A finished cream is a formulation with a peptide in it at some fraction the label rarely states, and a vial is a raw material. The number attached to each is answering a different question.
Concentration is the second, and it is the one a cosmetic label most often leaves out. Where a percentage is stated, it is usually for a supplier's solution rather than for the peptide, and a product naming copper tripeptide-1 in its ingredient list has disclosed only that some is present.
Synthesis cost is the third, and it is why this compound is cheap relative to longer peptides. A tripeptide is three coupling steps. The copper complexation adds a step and a specification rather than a difficulty.
Testing is the fourth and the least visible. A certificate carrying an independent identity test, a net peptide content figure and an elemental copper measurement costs real money to produce. A certificate carrying none of those costs almost nothing, and this compound needs the copper measurement that a plain peptide does not.
Where it is sold
This site links to no seller today, so the table below is empty. The moment any outbound store link appears on this page, three things ship in the same deploy: the link carries rel="sponsored nofollow", a visible disclosure sits beside it naming the relationship as common ownership rather than a commission, and the same disclosure goes into the footer of every page. That is written down in the editorial policy before there is anything to disclose, which is the only time such a commitment is worth making.

How to read a price in this market
Cost per unit weight and cost per container are different quantities, and only the first one says anything. For a finished topical product neither is computable, because the amount of peptide in it is almost never disclosed.
A price says nothing about identity or content. For this compound that gap is wider than usual, because the public chemistry records carry several forms of the complex and a listing naming only GHK-Cu has not said which one it contains.
Research-use-only labelling does not change what a sale is. FDA has rejected that framing where evidence from a seller's own website showed intent for human use, reasoning from the websites themselves. The dated regulatory record for this compound, with its documents, is in the regulatory section of the evidence review.
This site links to no seller today. When that changes, the link will carry rel sponsored nofollow, a visible disclosure will sit beside it naming the relationship as common ownership rather than a commission, and the same disclosure will go into the footer of every page in the same deploy.
What a certificate of analysis proves, and what it does not, is covered in the sourcing section of the evidence review.
Frequently asked questions
Why do a cream and a vial of powder have such different prices?
Because they are different products rather than different sizes of one product. A cream is a finished formulation containing an undisclosed fraction of the peptide, sold as a cosmetic. A vial is a raw material. Comparing the two numbers compares a manufactured good against an ingredient.
Does a higher price mean a better product?
Nothing about how this market prices supports that reading. Two listings at the same number can differ entirely in whether the material was independently tested and in which copper species it contains, and the number does not reveal either.
How should two listings be compared?
Start by checking that they are the same kind of thing. Then cost per unit weight rather than per container, which is only computable where the amount is disclosed. Every question that remains after that is about the certificate of analysis: who tested it, which lot it covers, what was measured, and whether the copper was measured at all.
Why does this page carry no prices?
Because the editorial standard this site publishes under puts prices on the list of things it does not print, next to carts, order buttons and stock indicators. BRAK Labs links to storefronts under common ownership, which makes anything published here readable as material about what those storefronts sell, and a price is the one element on a page that reads as commerce rather than as reporting.
Does this site sell GHK-Cu?
No. BRAK Labs sells nothing. There is no cart, no order path and no product page anywhere on this site, and today it links to no seller at all. If that ever changes, the link will carry rel sponsored nofollow with a visible disclosure beside it naming the relationship, and the same disclosure will appear in the footer of every page in the same deploy.
