GHK-Cu 50mg — Copper Tripeptide-1 Extended Protocol Vial by Dragon Pharma
The GHK-Cu 50mg vial is Dragon Pharma's large-format formulation of Copper Tripeptide-1 — the same high-purity Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine-Cu²⁺ compound as the 10mg vial, supplied at 5× the total content for extended protocols, higher daily doses or combination stacks where longer uninterrupted supply is practical. For full scientific background on GHK-Cu's mechanism, nanomolar potency and gene regulation data, see the GHK-Cu 10mg page.

Why 50mg — The Protocol Mathematics
The choice between the 10mg and 50mg vials comes down entirely to protocol duration and daily dose. The 50mg vial becomes markedly more practical at standard and higher daily doses:
| Daily Dose | 10mg Vial Duration | 50mg Vial Duration | Vials Needed (3-month protocol) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 mg/day | 10 days | 50 days | ~9 × 10mg vs ~2 × 50mg |
| 2 mg/day | 5 days | 25 days | ~18 × 10mg vs ~4 × 50mg |
| 3 mg/day | 3–4 days | ~16 days | ~27 × 10mg vs ~6 × 50mg |
For any protocol running longer than 2-3 weeks at doses of 2mg/day or above, the 50mg vial significantly reduces reconstitution frequency, vial management and the practical burden of ordering and receiving multiple smaller vials. Each reconstituted vial is stable for approximately 28-30 days refrigerated — the 50mg vial is large enough to accommodate higher daily doses without requiring reconstitution more than once per month at standard doses.
Hair Loss Protocol — Where 50mg Is Most Practical
GHK-Cu for hair loss (in combination with Minoxidil) is typically run as a sustained multi-month protocol rather than a short course — the dermal papilla cell activation and follicle enlargement effects that GHK-Cu produces require consistent dosing over weeks to months to manifest. For this application:
- A 3-month hair loss protocol at 2mg/day requires approximately 180mg total GHK-Cu — the equivalent of 18 × 10mg vials or approximately 4 × 50mg vials
- Each 50mg vial at 2mg/day provides 25 days of dosing — about 1 vial per month, reducing the management complexity of an extended protocol significantly
- GHK-Cu's documented hair follicle effects (enlarged follicles, extended anagen phase) complement Minoxidil's KATP channel mechanism through an entirely different pathway — the combination addresses hair retention from two distinct biological angles simultaneously
Extended Anti-Aging Protocol — 50mg Vial Efficiency
For comprehensive anti-aging stacks where GHK-Cu is combined with Epitalon or other longevity compounds, sustained daily dosing over months is the evidence-based approach. The 50mg vial makes this practical:
- Reduces reconstitution events — each reconstitution introduces a small opportunity for contamination; fewer reconstitutions over a long protocol reduces this cumulative risk
- Allows higher daily doses for protocols where 2-3mg/day is preferred without exhausting a 10mg vial every few days
- More economical per milligram for users committed to extended GHK-Cu protocols
Effects and Benefits
- Identical compound to GHK-Cu 10mg — same Gly-His-Lys-Cu²⁺ with documented TGF-β collagen stimulation, VEGF angiogenesis, SOD antioxidant upregulation and 4,000+ gene modulation
- 5× the total content — extended supply for longer protocols without interruption
- More practical for hair loss protocols, anti-aging maintenance and combination stacks requiring sustained multi-month dosing
- No suppression of natural testosterone — no PCT required
Dosage and Administration
| Protocol | Dose | Frequency | 50mg Vial Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Skin and anti-aging maintenance | 1–2 mg/day | Daily or EOD | 25–50 days per vial |
| Hair loss (sustained) | 2 mg/day | Daily | 25 days per vial (~monthly) |
| Higher dose / combination stack | 3 mg/day | Daily | ~16 days per vial |
Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water. Given the 50mg vial's larger content, choose a reconstitution volume that produces a convenient dose per unit draw. At 2mg/day: 5ml bacteriostatic water → 10mg/ml → 0.2ml per daily injection (20 units on a U-100 insulin syringe). Store refrigerated at 2-8°C after reconstitution for up to 28-30 days. Never freeze.
GHK-Cu 50mg vs GHK-Cu 10mg
- GHK-Cu 50mg (this vial) — for extended protocols (1-3+ months), hair loss maintenance, higher daily doses; reduces vial count and reconstitution frequency
- GHK-Cu 10mg — for shorter protocols, trial periods, or users wanting to assess response before committing to a larger supply
The active compound is identical — the choice is entirely about protocol duration and supply management convenience.
Reconstitution and Storage
Add bacteriostatic water slowly along the vial wall and swirl gently — do not shake. Store reconstituted vial refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 28-30 days. Never freeze. Plan reconstitution volume in advance based on intended daily dose to ensure each draw delivers an accurate, consistent amount.
"GHK-Cu 50mg is the extended-protocol format of our Copper Tripeptide-1 — the same pharmaceutical-grade compound in a vial sized for the sustained multi-month dosing that anti-aging, hair loss and collagen remodelling protocols require."
Stacking and Related Compounds
- Epitalon — telomerase and pineal support for comprehensive anti-aging coverage alongside GHK-Cu
- Minoxidil — complementary hair loss mechanism (KATP channel) alongside GHK-Cu's dermal papilla and follicle enlargement effects
- Klow Blend — contains GHK-Cu as one of four components for users wanting combined recovery, immune and collagen support in a single vial
