- Storage Pre-Reconstitution
- Room temperature storage, freezer with auto-defrost cycles
- −20°C in a manual-defrost freezer, away from door
- Auto-defrost cycles cause temperature fluctuations that degrade lyophilized peptides over time
- Storage Post-Reconstitution
- Refrigerator door, inconsistent temp (4–12°C range)
- Main refrigerator compartment, dedicated peptide box at 2–8°C
- Door storage exposes vials to ambient air every time fridge opens; temps above 8°C accelerate hydrolysis
- Reconstitution Method
- Inject water directly onto powder, shake vial vigorously
- Inject down vial wall, let dissolve naturally 60–90 sec, swirl gently
- Direct injection and shaking introduce oxidative stress and denature surface proteins
- Dosing Schedule
- Sporadic (3 days on, 4 off), single large dose weekly
- Consecutive daily dosing 5–10 days, then maintenance cycles
- Thymic peptides require steady-state receptor engagement; sporadic dosing prevents cytokine cascade
- Injection Timing
- Random times, inconsistent daily schedule
- Same time daily, ideally morning fasted state
- Consistent timing maintains stable plasma levels; fasted state may improve subcutaneous absorption
- Vial Use Window
- Use reconstituted vial for 6–8 weeks
- Use within 28 days of reconstitution, discard after
- Peptide potency drops ~15% per week after 28 days even under refrigeration
