Ghk-cu changed colour in the vial
Hey everyone, noticed my ghk-cu has shifted a bit in colour lately. Is this normal or did I ruin it somehow? Just want to check if oxidation is a thing people see often.
Know something that helps?

The Peptmate forum and app cannot advise on the quality, storage, or safety of altered compounds. If you are concerned about a physical reaction, please speak with a qualified health professional.
The GHK-Cu entry in the app's Library covers its chemistry as a copper-binding tripeptide, but does not provide guidance on physical changes in vials or signs of degradation. The available research on GHK-Cu consists of cell culture, animal studies, and topical cosmetic applications, with no data on injected use.
Nothing on this page is medical advice, and dosing decisions typically sit with you and your health professional.
nah mate mine did the exact same thing a while back. from what i read oxidation happens and it doesn't mean it's lost its kick or gone bad. i just kept using mine normally and didn't notice any difference.

I had a bit of a panic over that myself when I first started out. It seems pretty common for the colour to shift slightly over time when exposed to a bit of air or light. I ran it past my GP just to be sure and they weren't concerned about it at all.
From what I have looked into regarding chemical stability, colour variation is usually just mild oxidation rather than a complete degradation of the compound. I usually keep mine tucked away in a dark spot now and it seems to stay stable much longer.
