Lyophilized Peps + Heat in Shipping Truck
-
@Jake_PepTron Great question! I don't know 100% at what temperature peptides start to quickly degrade, but I do know this 100% - Lyophilized peptides are WAY more hardy than you think...and what you are led to believe. BUT, and it's a BIG but, like I said, I do not have the data on super high temps and peptide degradation. But Lyophilized peptides are hardy.
Direct sunlight is MUCH more damaging to peptides than heat! Photons degrade peptides and break the covalent bonds rendering the peptides useless after just days of direct exposure. According to a study in the Journal of Peptide Science, UV light exposure for just 48 hours can reduce the potency of certain lyophilized peptides by 15% to 20%. Heat takes weeks or months to cause that level of damage to freeze dried lyophilized peptides. I think it would do damage, but not much, if the peptides were in a shipping container in 110 degree Fahrenheit heat for a week or more. I get that after reading that journal of peptide science article reporting. https://adonyxbio.com/the-art-and-science-of-storing-lyophilized-peptides-a-deep-dive-into-stability-and-longevity/ and the reports below.

AND THIS ONE HITS THE HEAT THRESHOLD almost perfectly.
"lyophilized peptides easily tolerate brief, transient heat exposures up to 40°C–45°C (104°F–113°F) during transit with no measurable loss in purity. Thermal energy alone simply lacks the power to easily break covalent bonds in a completely dry, glassy matrix."

@Eleanor HAHA! That's pretty funny.
And totally true! Example: Iraq in July 138 F, Ft Benning GA in July 98 w/90% humidity. MUCH hotter at Benning!! Much more miserable! Not even close! Lol -

@BeeKind If you ever remember who they are, please let me know. I will say that Nexaph ships a slender boxed set inside of a bigger box which creates an airspace that tends to be protective, temperature wise.
(OMG, I was talking aloud while typing this and my friend watching news started singing song from old SNL skit "Dick In A Box". Can't breathe, laughing too hard...)

@Eleanor I found it! It was renova peptides they offer:
"Thermal Protection Packaging
Your order ships with ice packs in an insulated thermal bag to reduce temperature exposure during transit."
for $12.99!

@Eleanor Not really, you get it. You don't have to be there to understand. You just need to be sweating bullets in a humid region one time and anyone will get it.
