Insulin syringes are the standard for peptide administration. They use U-100 markings where 100 units = 1 mL. Choose your syringe based on your dose volume.
💡 Pro Tip: Always use a separate, larger syringe (1–3 mL with a standard needle) for mixing/reconstitution, and a fresh insulin syringe for each dose. The insulin syringe needle is much finer and dulls quickly — using it to puncture a rubber stopper multiple times makes injections more painful.
Proper storage is critical for maintaining peptide potency. Temperature, light exposure, and contamination are the three main enemies.

● Use within 28 days of reconstitution
● Keep away from direct light
✕ Don't
● Freeze reconstituted solutions
● Leave at room temperature for hours
● Expose to direct sunlight or UV light
● Repeatedly freeze-thaw lyophilized powder
● Share vials between users
