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.

Injectable Peptide Therapy: A Primer for Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Physicians.

The American journal of sports medicine 2026

RESULTS: BPC-157 demonstrated potential benefits in tendon and muscle repair, but these findings are largely unvalidated in human trials. CJC-1295 combined with ipamorelin showed significantly improved maximum tetanic tension in murine models with glucocorticoid-induced muscle loss, but these findings are limited to animal studies.

Advances in the detection of growth hormone releasing hormone synthetic analogs.

Drug testing and analysis 2021

The administration of growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) and its synthetic analogs is prohibited by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). Although there is evidence of their use, based on admissions and intelligence, they do not appear to have been found in anti-doping samples by WADA accredited laboratories. This might be due to their small concentration in urine and limited knowledge about their metabolism, especially for unapproved synthetic analogs. This study investigates the in vitro m

Ghrelin as a Biomarker of "Immunometabolic Depression" and Its Connection with Dysbiosis.

Nutrients 2023

Ghrelin, a gastrointestinal peptide, is an endogenous ligand of growth hormone secretagogue receptor 1a (GHSR1a), which is mainly produced by X/A-like cells in the intestinal mucosa. Beyond its initial description as a growth hormone (GH) secretagogue stimulator of appetite, ghrelin has been revealed to have a wide range of physiological effects, for example, the modulation of inflammation; the improvement of cardiac performance; the modulation of stress, anxiety, taste sensation, and reward-seeking behavior; and the regulation of glucose metabolism and thermogenesis.

Binding Domain Characterization of Growth Hormone Secretagogue Receptor.

Journal of translational internal medicine 2022

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Activation of ghrelin receptor growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R) by endogenous or synthetic ligands amplifies pulsatile release of growth hormone (GH) and enhances food intake, very relevant to development and growth. GHS-R is a G-protein coupled receptor that has great druggable potential.

Ghrelin and LEAP-2: Rivals in Energy Metabolism.

Trends in pharmacological sciences 2018

Liver-expressed antimicrobial peptide 2 (LEAP-2), the endogenous noncompetitive allosteric antagonist of the growth hormone secretagogue receptor 1a (GHSR1a), was recently identified as a key endocrine factor regulating systemic energy metabolism. This antagonist impairs the ability of ghrelin to activate GHSR1a and diminishes ghrelin-induced Ca release in vitro.

Ghrelin function in insulin release and glucose metabolism.

Endocrine development 2013

Circulating ghrelin is produced predominantly in the stomach, and its receptor GH secretagogue receptor (GHS-R) is expressed in a variety of central and peripheral tissues. The signal transduction mechanisms of ghrelin receptor in islet β-cells are very unique, being distinct from those utilized for GH release.

Endocrine development 2013

The ghrelin system comprises acylated ghrelin (AG), unacylated ghrelin (UAG) and obestatin, besides the receptor for AG, the growth hormone (GH) secretagogue receptor type 1a (GHS-R1a), and the enzyme-promoting ghrelin acylation, ghrelin O-acyltransferase (GOAT). The ghrelin peptides exert a variety of biological actions, including regulation of energy homeostasis and glucose metabolism, as well as survival and proliferative effects in different cell types.

Ghrelin in the regulation of body weight and metabolism.

Frontiers in neuroendocrinology 2010

Ghrelin, a peptide hormone predominantly produced by the stomach, was isolated as the endogenous ligand for the growth hormone secretagogue receptor. Therapeutic intervention with ghrelin in catabolic situations may induce a combination of enhanced food intake, increased gastric emptying and nutrient storage, coupled with an increase in GH thereby linking nutrient partitioning with growth and repair processes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Essential information about our research-grade peptides and quality standards.

Peptides are short chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds, typically consisting of 2-50 amino acids. They serve as the building blocks of proteins and play crucial roles in biological processes.

Research peptides are synthesized versions of naturally occurring peptides, manufactured to precise specifications for use in scientific studies.

Key characteristics: High purity (≥98%), lyophilized form for stability, accompanied by Certificates of Analysis (COA), and manufactured under strict quality control protocols.

Peptide purity refers to the percentage of the target peptide present in a sample, measured via High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC).
