Anyone who might know:
With the shortage of HCG, I was wondering if it can be frozen. For example, I know with certain peptides like PT-141, one can reconstitute the powder upon receiving it, pre-fill the syringes, and then freeze them, which allows them to be stored for up to one year.
Could one do the same with HCG?

This may be of some assistance.
this is what i was told :Go to your local homecare and surgical store and find an IV bag of Lactated Ringer’s Solution. This is what they infuse into you for a nutrient IV; it’s pH balanced and buffered, it’s got a great mix of ions to stabilize various protein structures (not why they’re included in the first place, but it works out well for our purposes), and it’s all around a good choice for peptide hormone rehydration for the purpose of storage.
Dissolve your hCG in Lactated Ringer’s, then aliquot it into some slin pins (at whatever dosage you want to take). Pre-load ALL of your expected dosages into these slin pins. Pull back the plunger from the pin to make sure the liquid will have room to expand, and put all of the pins in the freezer (about -20°C is what a standard freezer holds at if not opened too much). When you need to take a shot, put the pin you need to use in the fridge to thaw… if taking a multi-day course of hCG, it works nicely… take out 1 pin on day 0, shoot that pin on day 1 and at the same time put 1 pin in the fridge for day 2, shoot one pin on day 2, put one in the fridge for day 3… etc.
If you try to freeze hCG in bacteriostatic water, it might not make it… but the comfortable mix of ions, sugars, and the buffered pH of Lactated Ringer’s makes it a lot easier on the peptide hormone to store at 4°C or to freeze and thaw. That said, avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles when using hCG from storage.
