Might have accidentally frozen hgh

My fridge temperature was about -1 degree celsius for about one hour and my hgh was also exposed to 0-1,5 degree celsius for about half an hour. Is my hgh still fine (not reconstituted)? I appreciate any helpful answers
 
Do you think temperature fluctuations from -1 - 9 degree celsius had any impact on the hgh? I now put my hgh in a far more stable fridge and I am considering buying a specialised fridge for pharmaceuticals. What are your thoughts on this?

1-2% residual water typical in lyophilized proteins, in a base of mannitol, will freeze somewhere between -10c and -20c

The answers seem mixed so I am unsure what is true.

The answers are only mixed here. There's ample evidence that freeze / thaw cycles of lyophilized peptides cause some degree of damage and should be kept to a minimum.

The main risk with household freezers is if the freeze point sits in the middle of the temp swing range of the freezer, and it repeatedly freezes and thaws.

A single freeze thaw cycle is not a big deal.

I took more damage sitting in a box at the top of a shipping container in China that reached 150f before you got it,

Also another important thing to add: My hgh with the temperature of around 0-2 degree celsius was a 5+ times exposed to my room temperature (25 degree celsius). How significant is this impact in terms of quick temperature change in your opinion?

No impact going from refridgerator to room temp. Only phase change of the residual moisture from frozen to liquid and back matters.

Unrelated question and Im 99% sure it has already been discussed on this forum but my hgh powder is also one "mass" and isnt loose powder. I also noticed that when it just arrived. What do you call this phenomenon?
