For oral peptides, bioavailability is typically very low, often in the single digits, because the gastrointestinal tract destroys most of the compound before it can be absorbed
Poor Storage Conditions Leaving reconstituted peptides at room temperature accelerates degradation
Mechanisms of Action & Research Interest: Research Applications & Storage This peptide is supplied as a stable lyophilized powder
New sustained-release formulations may allow quarterly dosing instead of monthly injections
