Optimizing Your Peptide Storage & Handling

## Why Storage Matters Peptides are biological molecules that can degrade if not stored properly. Following these guidelines ensures maximum potency and safety. ## Storage Guidelines ### Before Reconstitution - Store lyophilized (freeze-dried) peptides in the refrigerator (36-46°F / 2-8°C) - Keep away from direct sunlight - Can be stored frozen for longer periods ### After Reconstitution - Always refrigerate after mixing - Use within 28 days unless otherwise directed - Never freeze reconstituted peptides - Keep the vial upright ## Injection Best Practices 1. Wash hands thoroughly 2. Clean injection site with alcohol swab 3. Rotate injection sites 4. Use a new needle for each injection 5. Dispose of needles in a sharps container ## Travel Tips - Use an insulated travel case with ice packs - Keep medications in carry-on luggage - Carry your prescription documentation - Ask your clinician about travel-specific guidance
