Just wonderin' about storage.
I figure it's gotta be okay at room temp since it's shipped without ice, right?

I think Pin_Cookie's logic is flawed. Using that same reasoning, you could leave meat out on the counter.

Heat accelerates degradation. It won't become toxic, but efficacy diminishes faster. Freezing minimizes this. It's all about extending the life of the product.

I'm rocking -80C. My supply should outlast me, LOL.

Damn, -80 requires some serious equipment! Those freezers aren't cheap, unless you found a used one somewhere. I saw a mini -40C advertised online for like 3 bills, but sketch.

Yup, scored a used vaccine freezer off that online auction site.

I saw the same freezer on that Chinese site for $215 with free US shipping. Thinking about it...

What coolant do the Chinese copies use? Wondering how close the design is to original. Control panels look different, which isn't a deal breaker, just curious

That looks like the same one I saw on that big box store's website, display in the same spot and layout but it was black overall.

R290, which is propane.

Ah, that's different. ULT25NEU uses R-170 (Ethane). So the Chinese version is externally similar but internally... not so much.

The Alibaba freezer (red one) goes to -40C reliably. Pretty happy with it. The ULT25 claims -86c but is smaller and pricier.

Oops. Mine's in the fridge, and it sat at room temp for... a while.

Order cancelled, never shipped. Full refund, but a wasted week. Probably the holiday, I guess. I ordered one from that online mega store instead. More expensive, less hassle. It already shipped.

It's not ruined, just won't be as potent as it could have been. It also depends how long 'a while' is! The colder, the better though.

On the topic of health journeys... I wanted to thank everyone here for the support! I started my journey a while ago, focusing on the mental aspect before starting on the meds, and it's been amazing. I've been using intermittent fasting, CICO, and Monjaro with great success. Eric Burgh's insights on insulin resistance inspired this journey. I am a new man with an amazing new life!
