What is Glow peptide?

Research library / Blends

Three peptides in one vial, taken apart component by component.

Glow is a research blend of three peptides in one vial: GHK-Cu, BPC-157 and TB-500. Prism Labs supplies it as Glow-70, a 70 mg lyophilized vial with its own certificate of analysis for every lot. Here is what each component is, where it came from, and how it differs from Klow-80.

01

What’s in Glow

Glow-70 combines three separate peptides:

  • GHK-Cu: the copper complex of glycyl-histidyl-lysine, a tripeptide first reported in human plasma.
  • BPC-157: a stable 15-residue fragment of a gastric-juice protein.
  • TB-500: a synthetic peptide based on thymosin beta-4, an actin-binding protein.

As a blend, it has no single sequence or molecular formula, and the certificate of analysis for each lot reports the blend as a whole.

Where to buy Glow-70

Glow-70 is sold direct by Prism Labs at prismlabs.store, in 70mg vials at $84.99 per vial. The latest published lab report, tested October 26, 2026, measured 99.82% purity. Every lot’s certificate of analysis is on the product page, with a link to verify it with the testing lab.

Orders placed before 4:30 PM CT ship the same day, seven days a week, when the size is in stock. Standard shipping is free over $125. Packs of 2 or more vials are discounted, up to 18% off.

Every lot ships with its own certificate of analysis.

03

Where the components came from

The copper tripeptide is the oldest of the three. Loren Pickart reported the peptide in human plasma in 1973; its strong affinity for copper(II) is why GHK-Cu, the copper complex, is the studied form.

BPC-157 is a fragment of a gastric-juice protein described by Predrag Sikirić’s group in Zagreb in 1993.

TB-500 takes its name from thymosin beta-4, a 43-residue protein sequenced in 1981 and later shown to bind actin. Suppliers use the name for more than one thymosin-derived sequence: what TB-500 refers to.

Glow vs Klow

Klow-80 contains all three of these peptides and adds a fourth, KPV, the C-terminal tripeptide of α-MSH. It also comes in an 80 mg vial instead of 70 mg.

No study cited here tested either finished blend. The full comparison: Klow vs Glow.

05

What the components have been studied for

The literature is component by component, mostly from cell and animal models:

  • GHK-Cu: tissue remodeling, collagen-related signaling and skin-cell research.
  • BPC-157: gastrointestinal, tendon and blood-vessel growth-factor research in animal models.
  • Thymosin beta-4: actin binding, cell migration and blood-vessel development.

These are observations in laboratory models. They are not evidence about any use in people.

06

How is Glow supplied and stored?

Glow-70 ships as a lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder in 70 mg vials. The powder is stable at room temperature in transit. For lab use it is reconstituted with bacteriostatic water such as Prism H2O.

Concentration is content divided by volume: 70 mg in 3.5 mL gives 20 mg per mL. The reconstitution calculator handles other combinations.

For storage before and after reconstitution, see how to store lyophilized peptides.

07

How do I verify Glow batches?

Every lot has its own certificate of analysis from an independent lab. Read three results separately:

  • Identity: confirms the expected compound was detected.
  • Purity: the share of the measured material that is the intended compound.
  • Content: the amount measured, compared with the label.

Then match the lot number on your vial or bottle to the report, and use the report’s verification link to confirm it with the testing lab. Step by step: how to read a peptide COA.

Questions, answered

What is Glow peptide?

A three-peptide research blend: GHK-Cu, BPC-157 and TB-500 in one lyophilized vial. Prism Labs sells it as Glow-70, a 70 mg vial.

Where can I buy Glow-70?

From Prism Labs at prismlabs.store, in 70mg vials at $84.99 per vial. Each lot’s certificate of analysis is published on the product page.

What is the difference between Glow and Klow?

Klow-80 contains the same three peptides plus KPV, in an 80 mg vial. Glow-70 has three components in 70 mg.

Is Glow a single peptide?

No. It is three separate peptides in one vial, so it has no single sequence or formula. The COA reports the blend.

How is Glow-70 stored?

As a lyophilized powder, stable at room temperature in transit. For storage after reconstitution, see how to store peptides.

Is it for human use?

No. Prism Labs sells it for laboratory research use only.
