Just how delicate are peptides?

[Fostradamus]

I've been reading that peptides are delicate and you need to handle them carefully (inject the bac slowly down the side of the vial when reconstituting, don't shake it etc.).

Anyway, I've recently acquired some reconstituting needles that are pretty hefty, and when I used one to recon some GLOW the other day the vacuum in the vial sucked the bac in super fast and it bubbled up a bit. It wasn't a controlled, slow flow in any way shape or form.

The GLOW solution is perfectly clear now, and looks just the same as my previous vial. However, I'm concerned that I might have damaged the peptides and rendered them ineffective.

So, as the title asks, just how delicate are peptides, and how likely is it that I've damaged this vial?

daily handling, reconstituting or using most of them are pretty hardy. especially before reconstitution. you can shoot the bac straight in and shake it up with no real problem. its other things they are delicate to. like uv exposure, repeated dramatic temperature fluctuations or freezing after reconstitution (depending on the peptide)

obviously you want to take care just so you dont accidently throw the vial across the room or anything but for the most part what ive seen the most damage you'll do is only a couple of % degradation at worst.

there are clips of janoshik shaking the hell out of some vials to mix them apparently and he is the go to for testing so if he does it you could too

Thanks so much for your reply, and putting my mind at ease.
