Not freezing my Tirz immediately

[winterChroma]

When I was reading about going grey before, I somehow thought you only refrigerate peptides after reconstituting them. I received mine around December 2024. Can anyone tell me what happens now? I just put them in the fridge today. I'm expecting they are probably degraded by some amount but still safe to use. I bought 3 kits T.T

Thanks for the help!

Probably fine, yes.

But put them in the freezer.

I'm sure they haven't degraded at all. Some of our orders spend more time in shipping than these have been in your possession.

You've probably loss less than 1% in degradation.

No, probably not even that much. PGB is selling Reta from August and it is stored in a room-temp warehouse. From what I have read, most peps are fine at room temp for up to a year. It would be interesting to send a vial of this August reta to be tested and compared to the original COA's to see how much it has degraded (if at all) in 6 months.

Less than "less than 1%" is not a thing. My statement stands.

No no, it ages well. Like fine wine. It's 100.2 purity now.

Thanks for the replies and calming me down! Yes, I've put them in the freezer now if anyone is wondering.

Question: does testing show degradation and/or reduction in effectiveness?

I just tested some t10 I’d had on the counter for a couple months. Came back same as the pre testing in both mg and purity.

I’ve read tirz is pretty stable, but what does the testing actually measure?

Thx.

Degradation is the reduction of the active ingredient of a med or chemical, reducing its potency. I think of it this way.

When you go pick up most Rx from the pharmacy or even OTC, that med is already degrading, hence the expiration date. If that med is left in your medicine cabinet and tested a month after manufacture, it might be 99%. 6 months later, it might be 92%. It might be just as effective. But a year later, around the expiration date, it might be 82%. Still safe*, but won’t be as effective. And if you leave the Rx bottle in a warm room or let it get hit by light, even more degradation. Still safe insofar as it won’t harm you just from being degraded, but might not work even half as well as before, and that lack of effectiveness could cause the harm.

None of us want to be paying for and injecting half-arse Tirz. We want it to be high purity and thus highly potent so that it’s effective.

*There are some meds that should never be taken post expiration date because they become toxic. I don’t believe GLP-1s are one of them.

Right. Does testing show show currently effective the medication is compared to when first made? Does degraded tirz still test as tirz? Is that what purity is? Or is purity some other measure?
