-degradation-data-were

I know a lot of you were disappointed when our own degradation study throug=
h Freedom Diagnostics didn=E2=80=99t work out. The good news is we=E2=80=99=
re going to get that data anyway =E2=80=94 Peptide Crafters is running a th=
ree-month Tesamorelin degradation study and gave me an early look at the mo=
nth one results.
The setup is straightforward: two samples from the same batch, one stored a=
t room temperature and one refrigerated, tested once a month for three mont=
hs. The goal is to compare purity and degradation loss across both storage =
conditions over time and give the community real data to work with. By the =
time this wraps we=E2=80=99ll have a complete month-by-month picture of wha=
t=E2=80=99s actually happening to Tesamorelin under each storage condition.
These are the one-month results, tested by Janoshik on March 16, 2026. Two =
more months of data still to come.
One thing to note upfront =E2=80=94 they only sent me the month one COAs. I=
 don=E2=80=99t have the baseline purity from day zero, so I can=E2=80=99t g=
ive you exact degradation numbers yet. We=E2=80=99ll get the complete pictu=
re as the study progresses.
Month 1 Results =E2=80=94 Batch PC-G2-TS10
Sample B (Room Temperature, 1 month) =E2=80=94 Tesamorelin: 10.81 mg | Puri=
ty: 98.184%
Sample C (Refrigerated, 1 month) =E2=80=94 Tesamorelin: 10.59 mg | Purity: =
99.732%
Looking at these results, a purity of 99.732% after one month in the fridge=
 is about as clean as it gets. Even the room temperature sample is sitting =
at 98.184% at the one month mark, which is still a strong number.
The narrative that keeping Tesamorelin refrigerated somehow causes degradat=
ion has floated around this space for too long. One month in, refrigerated =
storage is looking exactly like you=E2=80=99d expect =E2=80=94 negligible i=
mpact on purity. We=E2=80=99ll see how month two and three shake out, but t=
he early data is about what any reasonable person would predict.
I=E2=80=99ll share the full results as each month comes in. Stay tuned =E2=
=80=94 this is going to be a useful data set for the community.
Big shoutout to Peptide Crafters for running this and giving me the early l=
ook.
More to come.

>I know a lot of you were disappointed when our own degradation study throu=
gh Freedom Diagnostics didn&#8217;t work out. The good news is we&#8217;re =
going to get that data anyway &#8212; Peptide Crafters is running a three-m=
onth Tesamorelin degradation study and gave me an early look at the month o=
ne results.</p><p style=3D"margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-hei=
ght: 26px;font-size: 16px;">The setup is straightforward: two samples from =
the same batch, one stored at room temperature and one refrigerated, tested=
 once a month for three months. The goal is to compare purity and degradati=
on loss across both storage conditions over time and give the community rea=
l data to work with. By the time this wraps we&#8217;ll have a complete mon=
th-by-month picture of what&#8217;s actually happening to Tesamorelin under=
 each storage condition.</p><p style=3D"margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55=

nth one COAs. I don&#8217;t have the baseline purity from day zero, so I ca=
n&#8217;t give you exact degradation numbers yet. We&#8217;ll get the compl=
ete picture as the study progresses.</p><div style=3D"font-size: 16px;line-=
