Storage & Handling
- ✓Lyophilized: Store at −20 °C (−4 °F) in dry, dark conditions; minimize moisture exposure.
- ✓Reconstituted: Refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F); avoid freeze–thaw cycles.
- ✓Allow vials to reach room temperature before opening to reduce condensation uptake.
- ✓Do not freeze reconstituted solution.
- ✓Discard if solution becomes cloudy or contains visible particles.
Important Notes
- ✓All products sold by JA Performance Peptides are intended strictly for laboratory research purposes and are not approved for human consumption, veterinary use, or therapeutic application. Not for human use.
- ✓Use new sterile insulin syringes for each injection; dispose in a sharps container.
- ✓Rotate injection sites (abdomen, thighs, upper arms) to reduce local irritation.
- ✓Inject slowly; wait a few seconds before withdrawing the needle.
- ✓Document daily dose and site rotation to maintain consistency.
