Dropped my Reta - still good?

Hong Kong Yanpep International
Lyophilized powder in sealed vials handles a drop off a counter without losing potency - the fragility concern is post-reconstitution storage, not the dry powder itself. As long as the seal wasn't compromised, the product is fine.
 
Lyophilized reta that's been dropped should be fine - the powder form is more stable than the reconstituted version and physical shock doesn't degrade the peptide bonds. Where things get more careful is in the reconstituted form, which is more sensitive to temperature and freeze-thaw cycles.
 
Freezer for the powder, fridge after reconstitution, and 60 days as the window post-reconstitution is a solid conservative protocol. The dark storage for the carrier liquid is right - UV exposure degrades both BAC water and the compound faster than temperature alone.
 
the cloudiness right out of the freezer is temperature condensation on the vial exterior or the powder temporarily changing appearance as the chill equilibrates - once it settles to room temperature and clears you're looking at the actual lyophilized powder. if it's clear at room temperature and there's no visible particulate floating after reconstitution, the drop itself is not the concern
 
Personally ran a reta vial for a full 90 days without noticing any real degradation, and others here would likely back that up. From what's understood, reta and tirz generally don't start breaking down until somewhere around the 120-day mark. That said, still worth holding onto the larger vial for later once weekly usage climbs higher, and picking up smaller vials to use in the meantime.
