- Lyophilised powder at −20°C (unreconstituted)
- 24–36 months from manufacture date
- Frozen state halts all hydrolytic degradation and oxidation pathways; peptide bonds remain intact in absence of water
- Optimal long-term storage—purchase in bulk if conducting extended research protocols
- Lyophilised powder at 2–8°C (unreconstituted)
- 12–18 months
- Refrigeration slows but does not eliminate oxidative degradation; suitable for short-term storage pre-reconstitution
- Acceptable for vials you'll reconstitute within 6–12 months
- Reconstituted solution at 2–8°C with bacteriostatic water
- 28 days maximum
- Benzyl alcohol (0.9%) inhibits bacterial growth; low temperature reduces peptide aggregation and hydrolysis
- Standard reconstitution protocol—mark reconstitution date on vial label immediately
- Reconstituted solution at 2–8°C with sterile water
- 24–72 hours maximum
- No antimicrobial preservative; bacterial contamination risk increases exponentially after 24 hours
- Only appropriate for single-use or same-day multi-dose applications
- Reconstituted solution at room temperature (20–25°C)
- 4–6 hours
- Elevated temperature accelerates peptide bond hydrolysis and aggregation; GH-releasing activity degrades measurably within 6 hours
- Unacceptable except during active use—return to refrigeration immediately after drawing dose
- Reconstituted solution frozen at −20°C
- Not recommended
- Freeze-thaw cycles cause ice crystal formation that mechanically disrupts peptide structure; potency loss 40–60% per cycle
- Never freeze reconstituted peptides regardless of preservative used
- The bottom line: reconstitute tesamorelin only in quantities you'll use within 28 days, store reconstituted vials at 2–8°C immediately after mixing, and never expose reconstituted solution to room temperature for longer than the time required to draw your dose. Temperature excursions above 8°C—even brief ones—cause irreversible aggregation.
