3 min read· MyPeptide Clinical Team· April 14, 2026
## 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
