Lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder: Room temperature storage: stable for weeks to months depending on peptide Refrigerator storage (2-8 C): stable for months to over a year Freezer storage (-20 C): stable for years in some cases Keep sealed, dry, and away from light Moisture is the primary enemy of lyophilized peptides Reconstituted solution: Must be refrigerated at 2-8 C at all times Typical stability: 4-6 weeks for most peptides Never freeze reconstituted solutions Use bacteriostatic water (not sterile water) for multi-use vials Each needle puncture introduces contamination risk The difference in stability is dramatic
Mild side effects may include nasal irritation, headache, or transient blood pressure changes, typically resolving without major intervention
