Proper way to store peptides

letsrun4it · Dec 23, 2014

I am buying enough peptides to last through my contest at the end of September. How should I store the ones I'm not using right away?

I have looked this up and found conflicting info and didn't recognize any screen names to assign weight to what people were saying. Does anyone know if I need to freeze them or not? Fridge? I'm talking about before recon.

They say reconstituted peptides should be stored in the freezer making them viable for several years. I have always stored mine in the refrigerator, and have used peptides that sat there for a year. They were full strength. But, the freezer is recommended for long term storage.

Before reconstitution in the freezer.
After reconstitution in the fridge.
Avoid reconstituting something you are not using.

That's the rules I follow.

Having said this, I have been using a reconstituted vial of MT2 all year that's been in the fridge. I only use 100-300mcgs a week and it still hits as hard as it did the first day I got it. Actually last night, it also made me puke at 300mcgs.

JJ, you are correct but I would recommend that they try to not freeze/thaw more than once. The proteins do degrade slightly in the freeze/thaw process.

I'm traveling over the holidays and may not have access to a fridge... Will peps last without refrigeration for a 7-8 days????

All my pre-reconstituded peps are in the freezer in a ziplock freezer bag. Any peps I've reconstituted I keep in the fridge. I reconstitute as needed.

As for traveling and not having refrigeration, I have to say I'm not sure. Probably be ok for a short while but for how long I can't say with any certainty.

Keep them in a cooler on ice. I did this long term. I wouldn't leave them at room temp. Just get a good little cooler and keep ice in it and you'll be good to go.

Oh wow. I received my cjcDAC 4 or 5 days ago. I have not used it yet, but it hasn't been in the fridge. I thought you didn't refrigerate until after reconstitution. Should I put them in the freezer? I have 2 5mg vials. One of them will be used in the next couple days.
