Storage

When it comes to the storage of your peptides, certain factors can greatly affect the lifespan and overall stability of the compound! With Kynex Bioscience, your peptides will always arrive in a lyophilized form.

Factors that effect the stability of your peptides are: exposure to light, moisture, oxidation, improper handling, temperature and continuous temperature fluctuations.

Lyophilized peptides (freeze dried powder form) are able to tolerate conditions much better and have a longer lifespan before degradation starts to occur, provided they are stored in certain conditions. They are stable at room temperature, out of direct light for up to a few weeks. If stored in a freezer at -18'C or lower, they can remain stable for up to a year or more. If storing in this manner, we suggest that you wrap the vial in tinfoil as this will protect your peptides from light exposure.

Once you reconstitute your peptides with BAC water, the clock starts ticking! Peptides in a reconstituted form have a limited lifespan of 4-6 weeks if stored correctly. Some peptides can last for greater periods while others a shorter period. Once reconstituted, store your peptides in the fridge at 2' to 8'C, wrapped in tinfoil and in an area where they wont be subject to regular movement such as the fridge door. 

NB: When taking your reconstituted peptide out of the fridge to draw your dose into a syringe, do not wait for the vial to reach room temperature as many suggest. At Kynex Bioscience, we suggest that you rather draw out your required dose into the syringe, place your peptide vial back into the fridge and then wait for the solution in the syringe to reach room temperature! It is not imperative that it must first reach room temperature, this is more so for comfort at the injection site.

Useful Tips

Only reconstitute your peptide when you are ready to start your cycle.

Make use of online Peptide Calculators. These are a great help to get your dosage right.

Certain peptides compliment and work well when used together for a specific goal. This does not mean its a good idea to mix them together in the same syringe. They are different compounds and have different ph levels. For example: a person taking a daily maintenance dose of 500mcg TB-500 and 500mcg BPC-157 should use a separate syringe for each injection.

Peptides have a shelf life once reconstituted. Avoid buying a dosage that wont be used up within 6 weeks of reconstitution as this can potentially waste your money and result in ineffective results or reduced potency.

When reconstituting with BAC water, do not squirt the water into the lyophilized powder! Angle your syringe and hold the vial on its side, letting the water slowly go in.

The peptide is vacuum sealed in the vial so take note that the plunger of the syringe will naturally want to get pulled down at speed. To avoid shooting the bac water into the vial, keep fingers on plunger and slowly control its decent.

Do not shake the vial! Gently roll it around to mix the bac water with the peptide. It can take time to fully reconstitute, around 10 minutes. The majority of the lyophilized powder will reconstitute but you most likely will have to roll it around a bit until its fully mixed. You can leave it and let it naturally mix and then just roll it around to mix final bit at the end.

Do not inject air into the vial to neutralize the vacuum pressure. Many people offer this advice as a solution for making it easier to draw out the reconstituted solution. At Kynex Bioscience, we strongly suggest that you do not do this as introducing unnecessary oxygen will only speed up degradation and reduce potency.

Drawing the last bit of your reconstituded peptide out of the vial can be tricky at first. Look at the black rubber cap when the vial is upside down and you will notice a hollow groove/channel running across in one direction. Insert your syringe needle as shallow as possible and try direct the liquid into that groove. With practice you will master it!

Only use BAC water to reconstitute your peptides. BAC water is a sterile solution containing a very small amount of benzyl alcohol. This will also preserve the potency of your peptide.

Avoid injecting directly into joints or around areas with a lot of nerves.

If your injection is site specific eg: BPC-157 at or close to an injury on ones arm or shoulder, use a clothes peg to pinch a fold of skin.

Peptides are a remarkable tool in safely acheiving your goals. An unhealthy lifestyle with poor sleep and poor nutrition will yield poor results.

Please be responsible and discard used syringes at approved medical facilities. Do not throw them in your general rubbish bin. Collect them in a safe container and dispose of them once container is getting full. It is good practice to refit the needle cap once done.
