Is my HGH damaged?

Hi guys, this question might be stupid butI recently received a few kits of 24iu HGH green topsfrom SSA. I only have experience with QSC and the powder of their blue tops is very well packed together at the bottom. However, it seems like the last ones I got have been throwed around during transit or something as the powder is all spreaded out... Are those damaged or still g2g?

damn , i had to check my puks from SSA (they are all solid) but , it could be from a different batch? Idk what causes that "puk shrinkage" i have some tb500 that was like that , loose puks, I haven't really researched the reason, i just mix it and inject, lol Knuckledragger crowd i guess , right @AlexDavis43 ;)
 
It's not great, and usually a sign of something gone wrong in the lyophilization process. "Ugly pucks". or "bad cake" are the industry terms.

That said, 99% of the time we don't know wtf we're actually injecting regardless of test results (since every vial could be different), and there's nothing about that which would mean it's "ruined", especially if it still has vacuum.

Just reconstitute, preferably with 3ml. See if it has visible particles after 15 minutes, which is a clue about "damage".

Either way filter it and use it as normal, and it'll probably be fine, worst case a little less potent.


PS : The main possible problem here is more surface area exposed to residual oxygen, which can oxidize the rHGH. Oxidized rHGH unfolds more easily after reconstitution, creating aggregates (visible or invisible). With a solid puck it mostly affects the top layer, but in pieces oxygen could contact a lot more. If you have this and no vacuum it'll be a lot worse because there's much more oxygen in the vial without vacuum.

Lyophilized “cake” is mostly cosmetic it doesn’t mean it’s ruined, I've seen many purchase "ugly" vials as many vendors offer discounts on them and many test it and find its potent and accurately dosed.

You should mainly be concerned with:
- Moisture: if the vial wasn’t sealed properly and humidity entered, the powder can clump, look wet, or stick to the walls in a paste-like way. Which indicates degradation.
- Color changes: HGH should be white/off-white. If it's yellow/brown, or odd discoloration then I would have my doubts.
- Rubber stopper: if the cap/seal is loose, sterility might be gone.
