AHK Tripeptide-3 200 mg – Revitalize Your Skin and Hair
Product Summary
Picture a world where your skin glows with youthful radiance and your hair thrives with vitality. AHK (Tripeptide-3) 200 mg topical from Peptide Sciences USA, a copper-bound peptide, brings this vision to life. Known as AHK-Cu, it stimulates collagen production, reduces wrinkles, and supports hair follicle health, offering a science-backed solution for anti-aging and skin health research.
How AHK Tripeptide-3 Works
AHK Tripeptide-3, also known as AHK-Cu, is a copper-bound peptide with the sequence Alanine-Histidine-Lysine (Ala-His-Lys). The copper ion enhances its bioactivity, enabling it to act as a signaling molecule in skin and hair tissues. AHK-Cu promotes angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation) by upregulating vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which improves nutrient delivery to skin and hair follicles. It also stimulates fibroblast activity, boosting collagen and elastin production, which are essential for skin firmness and elasticity.
In hair follicles, AHK-Cu extends the anagen (growth) phase by inhibiting 5-alpha-reductase, reducing dihydrotestosterone (DHT) levels, a key factor in hair loss. Studies suggest copper peptides like AHK-Cu can increase collagen synthesis by up to 70% in fibroblast cultures and reduce wrinkle depth by 10-20% in topical applications over 8 weeks. Its small molecular size (416.94 g/mol) ensures effective penetration in topical formulations, making it ideal for researching skin rejuvenation and hair growth.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of AHK peptides?
AHK peptides, particularly AHK-Cu, promote collagen and elastin production, reducing wrinkles by up to 20% in 8 weeks. They also support hair growth by extending the anagen phase and improving scalp health, making them ideal for anti-aging and skin health research.
What is acetyl tripeptide?
Acetyl tripeptide is a misnomer for this product; the correct term is Copper Tripeptide-3 (AHK-Cu), a peptide complexed with copper. It stimulates fibroblast activity and angiogenesis, supporting skin firmness and hair vitality in research settings.
What is the difference between GHK-Cu and AHK-Cu?
GHK-Cu (Glycyl-Histidyl-Lysine-Copper) and AHK-Cu (Alanyl-Histidyl-Lysine-Copper) are both copper peptides but differ in sequence and function. GHK-Cu broadly supports wound healing and skin repair, while AHK-Cu specifically enhances angiogenesis and hair growth, with a stronger focus on scalp health.
What is the name of AHK-Cu?
AHK-Cu is formally named Copper Tripeptide-3, also referred to as Alanyl-Histidyl-Lysine-Copper. It's commonly branded as AHK in research and cosmetic applications for its skin and hair benefits.
What are the side effects of the AHK peptides?
Reported side effects of AHK peptides are minimal, typically mild skin irritation or redness in sensitive areas. Long-term safety data is limited, so research use requires professional oversight to ensure safety.
