For long-term storage the peptide should be kept in solid form in the deep freezer at < -15 °C. If stored at room temperature some peptides containing methionine or cysteine may begin to degrade. Therefore, we recommend storing them at -20C as soon as possible after receiving the package. At -20 or -80, the peptides will remain potent for 6 months or years before beginning to degrade. For short-time storage a refrigerator (+4 °C) will suffice. Peptides should be protected from intense sunlight. Peptides containing fluorophores should be kept in the dark.

Most forms of peptide therapy are considered to be generally safe. With the FDA clearing many peptides so they can be used for medical purposes and tested in clinical trial settings, more information is always coming to light about peptide therapy, the advantages, and any proposed side effects. The primary thing all prospective patients need to do to ensure they have a good experience with peptides is to make sure they get their treatments from a reliable practitioner such as BioCore Health RX. Peptides can be natural or synthetic; while well-designed synthetic peptides are safe, you do have to watch out for low-quality versions provided by non-reputable sellers. Some of the minimal side effects some people may experience include:

• Increased hunger or thirst
• Dry mouth
• Itching at the injection site
• Some drowsiness

Peptide therapy should never be looked at as an instant cure-all for whatever issue you are dealing with. Instead, therapy is a supportive type of treatment that can aid your progress with certain issues. You may not see an immediate difference in how you feel with all types of peptide therapy; some peptides can actually take several weeks or a few months to really start producing noticeable effects. Nevertheless, some patients may notice things like changes in energy levels or workout rebound almost immediately.
