When I mixed up my GHK-Cu yesterday it was see-through blue, similar to tinted glass. Now after being in the fridge it appears like the attached image. Does anyone know if it's meant to look this way?
Reconstituted GHK-Cu not clear after mixing
Summary
Why does my GHK-Cu look cloudy or colored after reconstitution instead of clear?
Participants report that GHK-Cu solutions normally appear as a translucent blue because the raw powder is blue from the copper ion. AHK-Cu raw material is also described as blue though sometimes lighter. The pictured solution matches what others see and is considered normal as long as it is not cloudy.
What this discussion establishes- GHK-Cu turns blue when copper is added to the clear peptide
- Raw powders for both GHK-Cu and AHK-Cu are blue
- Translucent blue is the expected appearance, not colorless
- Cloudiness would be the only concern
Whether AHK-Cu raw material or solution should be colorless or blue
Nothing here is advice.

It's normal. I believe AHK-Cu stays clear without color while GHK-Cu comes out clear blue.
It seems fairly clear to me. Same as what I have.

Both raw powders are actually blue.
It isn't supposed to be without color since the raw material is blue, making the mix blue as well. Translucent blue is fine, just not cloudy. Looks similar to what I get.

The GHK part by itself is clear. Adding the copper makes it turn blue because the copper ion has that color.
The AHK powder for topical use that I got is blue, though lighter than GHK's powder.
True enough, though the amount needed is small anyway. Assuming this is going into a topical cream? Or planning to use it as a serum with microneedling instead?
