FAQ
- How should I store reconstituted BPC-157 and TB-500?
- Store both at 2-8°C after reconstitution. BPC-157 is stable for about 30 days. TB-500 oxidizes faster, so use it within 30 days and never leave it at room temperature overnight.
- Why does my reconstituted GHK-Cu look pale blue instead of deep blue?
- Pale or clear GHK-Cu means the copper ion has dissociated from the peptide. This happens when the diluent pH is too high or the solution was exposed to heat. The degraded solution is not usable.
- Can I freeze a reconstituted semaglutide vial?
- No. Freezing damages the fatty acid side chain that gives semaglutide its long half-life at the receptor. Store reconstituted semaglutide at 2-8°C and use it within 60 days.
