Best way to keep Reta good?

I've read a few threads, but want to get more current opinions. If I don't want to put my Reta in the freezer, what's the next best thing to keep it good for a while? I have a few kits coming and probably won't use them all in 2-3 months. Thanks!
 
I agree with keeping it away from sunlight. Even at room temperature, peptides degrade over time, though, so refrigeration is still preferable if you're not using it quickly. I've seen studies showing significant degradation after even a few months at higher temperatures.

So, if I'm reading this right, cooler is better? I'm new to all this. How important is it to be exact with the water when mixing?

Cooler is definitely better for longer storage. As for mixing, being precise is ideal, but a small variance usually won't drastically impact the dose. Use a peptide calculator to be sure.
 
Fridge is enough for most use cases. Keep it out of the door where temps swing. The main enemy is freeze-thaw cycles.
 
The early sleep disruption on reta is real - it does tend to sort itself out over the first 2-3 months. Good that it's helping with rest now. Storage-wise, keeping it cold and away from light is the main thing for longevity.
 
Refrigerator storage works fine for reconstituted Reta up to 4-6 weeks with BAC water - the benzyl alcohol provides the multi-week window. Main practices: date the vial on reconstitution, minimize draws, keep it away from the door, and avoid light. Lyophilized powder before reconstitution tolerates room temperature better than the reconstituted form.
 
Reta stays stable in the fridge at 2-8C for 4-6 weeks after reconstitution - away from the door and light. Freeze unreconstituted for longer storage; avoid freeze-thaw once BAC water is in.
 
Refrigerated Reta is stable for 3-4 weeks reconstituted; room temp works for travel but the 21-day window applies from first use.
