Lyophilized Peps + Heat in Shipping Truck
-
I jumped onto the peptide bandwagon about 6mo ago and it’s been TREMENDOUSLY helpful so far. I found a vendor on here that actually ships from inside my state (KS). Recently I switched up vendors to try to diversify a bit. I thought Mile-High-Compounds was from CO, but the tracking info says that it shipped from Tempe, AZ… which has a high of 105°F today. I work at a shipping/delivery company and I know trucks become ovens. TLDR- how torched and worthless are peptide vials sent in this heat? I lucked out getting into peps during winter, so should I just wait til cooler temps again? I was actually trying to plan the order around a cooler-temp window between CO & KS… hopefully they still turn out ok. I’ll probably just stick with that first company I lucked out with in my state. Anyone else have a take on peptide degradation in the summer heat during shipping?

@jake_peptron If you ordered enough you can afford to sacrifice a vial... you can get it tested and find out

@PeptideEd Valid point. Thanks. It wasn’t a massive order or anything. I may just have to see if my lab-rat responds any different to the same compound sent during the summer on this one. It’d be cool to see a larger study done on degradation at higher temps to see at what rate vials lose potency over a standard shipping timeframe.

NGpeptide did a test with ILS labs where they took 3 different types of peptides and left them out in the sun for like a week. It barely effected them. I don't think shipping in the summer matters. Maybe some peptides are more sensitive, but I'm personally not concerned.

I want to put on my smartass hat and say, “Y’all know this stuff is sitting in containers from China for a while, right? Another couple days with Brown Santa won’t kill it.” (Laughs in callous disregard for personal well being.)

@ResearchCat haha
Trust me, the thought had crossed my mind. Still, I’ve heard it said many times (since going down the rabbit-hole) that light, heat & vigorous shaking will ruin peptides… so I don’t know what to think. I’ll be interested to see the results.
