One thing for sure, the manufacturers are 'bend over backwards' conservative and careful about warnings of potential degradation of their stuff for liability reasons. Having worked for FDA in the past, I would be 99% certain the product insert sheet would have been required to comment about it.

So I'm going to say "Internet lore" unless someone can produce a study or two that proves otherwise.
Over the years I have looked for anything anecdotal that explains the fragility of hCG and I can't find a thing...nothing.

I can find, as you point out ecd, a ton of forums and diet sites where the same discussion about the fragility of hCG and caring for it is rampant...but no supporting research

But to your point on the warning packaging I think goes a long way to explain the "Internet lore" factor.

Ecd, all of your points are valid and common sense.

I am going to call my Doc and get his position on it, he's a well known TRT Physician and I trust almost 100% of his counsel.
