    Does MT2 have to be kept at cool temperatures?

    I recently had my vial of MT2 taken out of the fridge and thrown away for the second time, this is just infuriating. Sadly though I fear telling my parents about using MT2 because it will scare them. So does MT2 really need to be kept in cool temperatures? Also, I was looking into homemade refrigerators to keep my MT2 cool and discrete. Does anyone know anything about small fridges?

    How come your vials keep getting thrown out? Is it your parents throwing it away?

    There's actually very little degradation if kept at room temperature over a couple of months.


    If you do wish to keep it refrigerated, how about a mini fridge in your room? You can pick them up off eBay/Argos quite cheaply and will suffice.


    You could even hide it behind a couple of bottles of soft drink so nobody stumbles upon it.

    You could try pre loading the syringes and freezing them. I don't know if hiding them in the freezer would be easier.

    Have you heard of a frio bag? It's used to keep insulin vials cool when travelling, or power shortages... All you do is soak it in water for 10 mins and keeps the vial cool for 45 hours, then you repeat the process again and again, lasts for an unlimited time. Quite cheap too, around 20 $

    To labpeptides: Yes it is my parents throwing them out, I wish I could tell them to stop but doing so might prompt more questions. Also I'll take a look at mini fridges.

    P.S. I don't know how much you know, but why is it that we even keep our MT2 vials in the fridge?

    To Palelad: Thats actually incredibly interesting, I am going into these things more! Thanks for the great idea!

    It does increase its longevity, and has been done for a long time.
    Here's a quote from an article posted on the forum by the admin, the original post can be found here]

    "In fact, the stability of the MTII at 37°C for at least 28 days has been documented in literature."

    are you talking about mixed or unmixed vials? I think it's important to know about the longevity of both.

    Djen, I am talking about mixed vials, I haven't heard of unmixed vials having an 'expiration date' so to say
