Storage Instructions

All products from Apex Health Performance are manufactured using a lyophilization (freeze-drying) process. This method is designed to maintain product integrity and allows vials to remain stable during shipping for approximately 3–4 months.

Once a vial is reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, it should be stored in the refrigerator to help maintain stability. Under these conditions, reconstituted material is generally considered stable for up to 30 days.

Lyophilization is a dehydration technique in which compounds are frozen and then exposed to low pressure. This causes the water in the vial to sublimate directly from solid to gas, leaving behind a stable, crystalline white structure. This powder can be kept at room temperature until reconstitution.

Upon receipt, products should be stored away from heat and light. For short-term use, refrigeration at approximately 4°C (39°F) is suitable. For long-term storage (several months to years), vials may be placed in a freezer at approximately -80°C (-112°F). Freezing is the preferred method for preserving product stability over extended periods.

A sonosensitive diphenylalanine-based broad-spectrum antimicrobial peptide.

Nature biomedical engineering 2025

The antimicrobial effect of antimicrobial peptides is typically slow; they can be rapidly biodegraded and often have non-selective toxicity and elaborate sequences. Here we report a short peptide that is activated by ultrasound, that shows high broad-spectrum antibacterial efficiency (>99%) against clinically isolated methicillin-resistant bacteria (specifically, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Enterobacter cancerogenus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) with 15 m

Milk-derived extracellular vesicles functionalized with anti-tumour necrosis factor-α nanobody and anti-microbial peptide alleviate ulcerative colitis in mice.

Journal of extracellular vesicles 2024

In mice with chronic UC, simultaneously introducing VHH and an antimicrobial peptide LL37 into EV (EV), then administering orally improved intestinal barrier, inflammation and microbiota balance, resulted in relief of UC-induced depression and anxiety. Collectively, we demonstrated that oral delivery of EV effectively alleviated UC in mice and TAT efficiently loaded biologics into EV to confer protection from degradation in the gastrointestinal tract.

Antiviral Activities of Human Host Defense Peptides.

Current medicinal chemistry 2020

Peptides with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity are found widely expressed throughout nature. As they participate in a number of different aspects of innate immunity in mammals, they have been termed Host Defense Peptides (HDPs). Due to their common structural features, including an amphipathic structure and cationic charge, they have been widely shown to interact with and disrupt microbial membranes. Thus, it is not surprising that human HDPs have activity against enveloped viruses as well
