HGH denatured by "sterile" vials sold on amazon?

Posting this in the homebrew forum because it feels more relevant to homebrewing than peptides, given that most people aren't transferring peptides to 10 mL vials.

I recently reconstituted some HGH from the same kit I've been using for a month, but this time I tried to be more efficient and instead of transferring to individually wrapped, sterile 3mL cartridges, I used these "sterile" 10mL vials: Amazon.com

After transferring, the HGH appears to have come out of solution and just rests at the bottom of the vial. No improvement from letting it sit overnight, swirling / shaking it, or even adding more BAC water to bring the concentration down from 13.33 IU / mL to 6.67 IU / mL. Hospira BAC water was used.

I just tested it again and reconstituted more vials from the same batch with the same BAC water, and they're perfectly clear. In the picture below, the two vials on the left are the newly reconsituted ones, the third vial is the 6.67 IU / mL vial that has been shaken to show the dispersed cloudiness, and the one on the right is a 13.33 IU / mL vial that has been sitting undisturbed for a while, where you can see all of the powder resting at the bottom.

Lesson learned: don't buy medical equipment on amazon.

Amazon med supplies are definitely a risk. There are not many reviews on those and the negative reviews mention stuff in the vials.

I've used the ks-tek sterile vials from amazon since I had seen someone on forums recommend them. They are fine I guess, haven't had any issues with them personally.

I am definitely looking for a better option going forward though.
