At FIT9, peptides are shipped with ice packs to maintain their stability during transit. It’s normal for the ice packs to melt and become room temperature or warm during shipping; however, this does not compromise the quality or potency of the peptides. Upon receiving your shipment, it’s important to place the peptides in the refrigerator immediately to ensure their effectiveness.
Peptides are shelf-stable at temperatures up to 84°F for one month. For a longer shelf life, we recommend storing them in the refrigerator. When refrigerated, peptides remain effective and safe for injection use for up to six months.
Yes, it is normal for peptide vials to appear partially filled. Peptides are typically reconstituted in a specific amount of sterile water or another solution, so the volume in the vial may seem lower than expected, but the concentration is what’s most important. At FIT9, each vial is carefully measured to contain the correct dosage, even if it doesn’t appear completely full. If you have any questions about your specific dosage or volume, feel free to reach out to FIT9’s support team for clarification.
Missing a day or two of your peptide therapy will not lead to side effects and is generally not a concern. However, consistency is important for optimal results, as peptides work best when taken as prescribed to build up in your system over time. If you skip a few days, simply resume your regimen as directed. For any questions or adjustments, our FIT9 wellness team is here to support you and help you stay on track toward your goals.
Yes! And we even offer oral peptides to keep you on track. However, here is a travel tip: place Peptides in a thermos with an ice pack and place in your carry-on. You can also purchase a travel pack like this one on Amazon: TSA Approved Travel Case

Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you:
- Gather Supplies: You’ll need an alcohol swab, your syringe with the prescribed dose, and the peptide vial.
- Prepare the Injection Area: Choose a clean area, typically around the abdomen, at least an inch away from the belly button. Wipe the area with an alcohol swab to disinfect.
- Draw the Peptide Dose: Insert the needle into the peptide vial, pull back the plunger to draw the prescribed amount, and tap out any air bubbles.
- Pinch the Skin: Gently pinch a fold of skin between your thumb and forefinger to lift it away from underlying muscle.
- Insert the Needle: Holding the syringe at a 45-degree angle, insert the needle into the pinched skin. Push the plunger slowly to inject the peptide.
- Remove the Needle and Discard: Withdraw the needle, release the skin, and discard the syringe safely in a sharps container.
- Apply Light Pressure: Press a clean cotton ball over the area if needed; avoid rubbing to minimize irritation.
