# AHK-Cu dosage & reconstitution (100 mg vial)

AHK-Cu dosage: calculations for a 100 mg vial use the same amounts described in the literature. Adding 3 mL of bacteriostatic water produces 33.33 mg/mL, so each U-100 unit contains 333 mcg.

- **Vial contents:** 100 mg AHK-Cu
- **Final volume:** 3 mL
- **Concentration:** 33.33 mg/mL
- **One U-100 unit:** 333 mcg in 0.01 mL

No published clinical trial establishes a dosing regimen for AHK-Cu. Any figure circulating as a human protocol does not come from an indexed trial. This site does not publish doses without a verifiable source.

## U-100 Conversion Table

| U-100 units | Volume | Contains | Yield per vial |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 0.02 mL | 666.667 mcg | 149 injections |
| 5 | 0.05 mL | 1.66667 mg (1667 mcg) | 59 injections |
| 10 | 0.10 mL | 3.33333 mg (3333 mcg) | 29 injections |
| 20 | 0.20 mL | 6.66667 mg (6667 mcg) | 14 injections |
| 30 | 0.30 mL | 10 mg (10000 mcg) | 9 injections |
| 50 | 0.50 mL | 16.6667 mg (16667 mcg) | 6 injections |
| 100 | 1.00 mL | 33.3333 mg (33333 mcg) | 3 injections |

## Storage Instructions

- Lyophilized (unopened): −20 °C for long-term storage; 2–8 °C if used within weeks. Protected from light.
- Reconstituted: 2–8 °C, do not freeze. Use within the documented period (typically up to 4 weeks with bacteriostatic water).
- Handling: do not shake; avoid temperature cycling; label with date and concentration.
- Discard: cloudy solutions, particulates or expired preparations are discarded.

## How This Works

AHK-Cu is the synthetic tripeptide Ala-His-Lys (Alanyl-Histidyl-Lysine) complexed with copper (II), presented as a 100 mg lyophilized research vial. The literature documents it in hair follicle and dermal matrix studies as a copper complex associated with cell proliferation signaling. Signaling pathways documented in the literature: Follicle stimulation Ex vivo models of human hair follicles document elongation and proliferation of dermal papilla cells Copper Signaling: The copper (II) complex is associated in literature with extracellular matrix modulation and dermal angiogenesis
