Peptide Education & Getting Started

Peptides are powerful tools, and we want you to feel confident using them. This guide walks you through what to do when your peptides arrive, how to handle and store them, and simple safety steps every user should follow—no matter which peptide you’re using.

When Your Peptides Arrive

When your package arrives, take a few minutes to slow down and set everything up properly. This helps protect product quality and keeps you from feeling rushed or overwhelmed.

• Make sure the name and quantity on each vial match your packing slip or order confirmation.
• Check that no vials are cracked, leaking, or unsealed.
• Confirm you received everything expected (peptide vials, bacteriostatic water if ordered, syringes, alcohol wipes, etc.).
• If anything looks wrong, damaged, or missing, do not use the product until you’ve reached out for support.

Inspecting Your Vials

Before you store or mix anything, visually inspect each vial.

• Dry (lyophilized) peptides should look like a white or off-white powder or “cake” at the bottom of the vial.
• There should not be obvious moisture droplets, dark spots, or clumps stuck high on the glass.
• Pre-mixed (liquid) peptides should look clear and free of particles.
• If the vial is broken, the seal is compromised, or the contents look unusual, set it aside and contact support instead of guessing.

Basic Storage Guidelines

Always follow the storage instructions that came with your order. When in doubt, keep peptides cool, dry, and protected from light.

Dry (unmixed) peptides

• Store in a cool, dry place, away from heat and humidity.
• Keep out of direct sunlight.
• A closed cabinet or drawer works well.

Mixed (liquid) peptides

• Typically stored in the refrigerator, unless told otherwise.
• Keep the vial upright with the cap firmly in place.
• Avoid freezing unless the product instructions clearly state that freezing is appropriate.

Never store peptides in a hot car, in direct sun, or near a stove or heater.

Handling & Hygiene Basics

Clean handling protects both you and the product.

• Wash your hands with soap and water before touching anything.
• Use a clean, flat surface (counter or table) and wipe it down first if needed.
• Always wipe the rubber tops of vials with an alcohol pad before inserting a needle.
• Keep syringes and needles in their packaging until you’re ready to use them.
• Never reuse needles.

When NOT to Use a Peptide

There are times when the safest choice is to pause and ask for help.

• The glass is cracked or the cap/seal is damaged.
• The powder is discolored (yellow, brown, or unusual).
• The liquid is cloudy, has visible particles, or has changed color.
• The package was exposed to extreme heat or arrived in clearly compromised condition.
• The product is past its labeled expiration date.

When in doubt, do not inject or ingest a questionable vial. Reach out for guidance instead.

When to Contact Support

We would always rather you ask a question than guess.

• Your shipment arrived warm, leaking, or damaged.
• You’re not sure how a vial should look.
• You’re unsure about storage (refrigerator vs room temperature).
• You have questions before mixing something for the first time.
