Growth Hormones

If you order overseas GH does this need to be refridgerated??? Since it can't stay refridgerated in the mailing process, will it still be affective when it arrives? or will it be no good?? Thanks for your help!

I have no data to back this up, but I've heard under 70 degrees for about a month.

Mine came express mail-packed in dry ice in a lunchbox size igloo cooler. I have like 7 of those coolers now too. lol

When the powder is mixed with the solution, then it needs to be refridgerated...........

No, most GH needs to be refridgerated before and after it is mixed. After it is mixed it is only good for a month or so. It should come on dry ice in the mail.

It does not need to be refrigerated unless reconstituted. It is recommended to keep cool but 4 days in the mail is not going to lose all potency. Just make sure it isn't on your front porch all day in the summer heat.

This is from experience and not just what I've heard.

Most generic doesn't come with a freezer pack, but it arrives in about 72 hours and much of that transit time is spent in the freezing luggage compartments of planes.

Here are the storage instructions I found for the "Genotropin" brand:

"...STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS:
Lyophilised powder:Store between 2°C and 8°C (refrigerated). Protect from light.
Stable for 1 month at room temperature (25°C).
Reconstituted solution: Stable for 21 days at 2°C to 8°C protected from light.
Frozen solution should not be used..."

So I stand corrected, it will be fine sending it in the mail, but you need to store it once you have it in the fridge, especially since most people use it for at least 6 months. It will only last 1 month unrefridgerated at room temp as a powder...
