  • GHK-Cu
  • 18–24 months
  • 90–120 days
  • <72 hours before 20% loss
  • Copper dissociation + oxidation
  • More temperature-sensitive than most growth factors due to metal chelation. Requires strict cold chain
  • BPC-157
  • 24–36 months
  • 60–90 days
  • 5–7 days before 20% loss
  • Peptide bond hydrolysis
  • More forgiving than GHK-Cu. Tolerates brief ambient exposure during handling
  • Thymosin Beta-4
  • 24 months
  • 90 days
  • 3–5 days before 20% loss
  • Oxidative degradation of cysteine residues
  • Similar stability profile to GHK-Cu. Both require refrigeration post-reconstitution
  • Melanotan II
  • 30–60 days
  • 2–3 days before 20% loss
  • Photodegradation + oxidation
  • Less stable than GHK-Cu in solution. Must be protected from light as well as heat
