How to store peptides: freezer, fridge and shelf life explained

Mark and Amy cover how to store peptides: why powder is the stable form, what mixed vials can handle, and why approved drugs follow their own labels.

Show notes

Mark and Amy break down peptide storage: why freeze-dried powder is the stable form, what oxygen, moisture and light do to a chain of amino acids, and how quickly shelf life drops once water is added. They also cover the 28-day sterility rule, sprays, and why approved drugs like Mounjaro and Egrifta SV follow their own labels.
