Tirz powder still good?

Alright, so here's the sitch: I bought some tirzepatide powder probably 13 months ago, intending to mix it and start. Then life happened, and it's been chilling in its original packaging in my bedroom. I'm wondering if it's still okay to mix and use, or is it a lost cause after all this time?

Also, I'm kinda scared I'll mess up the mixing and dosing and end up with too much. Anyone willing to spell out the steps in super simple terms? Just two questions for now.
 
First question: Go ahead and mix it up. Next time, if you're buying stuff and not using it right away, freeze those vials!

Second question:
 
To answer #2, and maybe I'm being blunt, but seriously, don't inject anything until you're 100% sure you know what you're doing. Messing up the dose can land you in the hospital, seriously.
 
Yeah, it's likely mostly okay, maybe lost 5-15% of its potency, but should be fine.

For mixing, think of it simply: you're just dissolving the powder in sterile water. That's it. Sanitize the vial tops, pull up some bacteriostatic water, and inject it in. Done.

For dosing, say you have a 30mg vial and want a 5mg dose. 30/5 = 6. Then, if you added 2mL of water, 2mL / 6 = 0.33mL, or 33 units on your syringe.
 
Hey @Caffeine_Queen, I totally get the food noise thing. I've been using sema for a month or so and it's helping a lot. Are you planning to use it for that too?
 
I'm about to start on semaglutide myself. I'm nervous but excited. I'm hoping it will help me break through this plateau. Any advice for a newbie?

Track your food intake (GLPeak and glapp are good, free apps), eat enough fiber/protein, take before pics. Magnesium can help with any constipation. Take it slow and steady!
 
It's amazing seeing these progress posts! I'm down about 18 pounds since starting sema a few weeks ago. It's so encouraging!
 
My mom tried Tirz at my place and wants to ask her GP about it at her appointment tomorrow. She's interested! I keep telling her that the med is only part of the equation - lifting weights and eating right matter just as much, maybe more. Cardio is fine but building muscle is what counts. The old-school diet advice people have been hearing for years doesn't work, and frankly it needs to stop.
 
Cut back my drinking to maybe one or two a couple weeks. Still smoke but quit the cigarettes because of tirz. Big change for me.
 
Some months I still manage to hit or blow past 5000 calories. I indulge on purpose now, which feels different than before - way easier to get back in control the next day.
 
Maxed semaglutide and couldn't drop more than forty on it, still good but was on it ages. Switched to tirzepatide down twenty two in about seven weeks on the starting dose.
 
Peptide powder viability at 13 months depends heavily on storage conditions. Lyophilized powder kept sealed, dry, and cold (freezer preferred) can retain potency well past 12 months. If it sat at room temperature for any meaningful stretch, that's the bigger risk than time alone. The reliable way to assess is to test - purity testing gives actual data. If testing isn't on the table, starting at a lower dose and watching for blunted response is a reasonable proxy. Degraded peptide typically shows diminished effect before it shows nothing.
