Frequently Asked Questions

Every question.
Answered clearly.

Medivault Life is a new category of product — so we expect questions. Here's everything you need to know about how it works, who it's for, and what happens when you travel.

The System, Simply Explained

Two modes.
One system.

Medivault Life products use a two-mode system — organized storage at home, cold protection on the road. The inner container does both.

1
At Home
🏠

In the fridge or on the counter

The inner container lives in your fridge — keeping your medications or skincare organized by Morning, Night, and As Needed. Always ready, always structured.

2
Traveling
🧊

Slide into the outer shell

Pull the inner container from the fridge. Slide it into the insulated outer shell with the PCM ice pack. Cold and stable for 12+ hours — without power.

3
Anywhere

Same system, every destination

At your destination, slide the inner container into any fridge. Your routine continues. Zero repacking. TSA compliant. Everywhere you go.

How It Works

5 questions
What exactly is Medivault Life — is it a mini fridge, a cooler, or something else?
+
Medivault Life is its own category — a two-part precision storage system with two modes:
1
The inner storage container holds and organizes your medications or skincare at home — in your existing fridge or on the counter.
2
The outer Medivault shell is your travel unit — insulated, TSA-compliant, designed to accept the inner container plus a PCM ice pack for 12+ hours of cold retention.
The key idea: Your inner container is always organized. When you travel, pull it from the fridge, load it into the shell, add the ice pack, and go. No repacking. Same system everywhere.
How does the inner container work at home?
+
At home, the inner container lives in your refrigerator or on your counter. It keeps your medications or skincare organized with labeled sections — Morning, Night, As Needed for Protocol, or Morning, Night, Glow, Restore for Havyn. No digging. No mix-ups. Always ready.
What's the PCM ice pack and how does it work?
+
PCM stands for Phase-Change Material — a medical-grade cooling technology that maintains a stable temperature range far longer than conventional ice, without the extreme cold that can freeze medications.
In practice: Freeze the PCM pack overnight. Slide it into the shell with your inner container. Your medications or skincare stay at the right temperature for 12+ hours — on a flight, in a car, or at a meeting.
Does Medivault replace my refrigerator?
+
No — and that's intentional. The Medivault system works with your existing refrigerator at home. The fridge provides the cold; Medivault provides the organization, structure, and portability. Medivault becomes the complete cold solution during transport — handling everything your fridge would normally do for 12+ hours away from home.
How is this different from a zip-lock bag or random cooler?
+
A zip-lock keeps things together. A cooler keeps things cold. Medivault does both — plus organization, precision temperature stability, and no freeze risk.
·
Temperature stability: PCM maintains a narrow ±0.5°C range vs. ±3–5°C swings from generic coolers.
·
No freeze risk: PCM stays above freezing — critical for insulin, GLP-1, and peptides.
·
Organization that travels: Your labeled system goes with you intact. No repacking.

Medivault Protocol™

4 questions
I use GLP-1 medication (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro). Is Protocol right for me?
+
Absolutely — GLP-1 users are one of the core audiences Protocol was built for. These medications cost $1,000–$1,500 per month and are highly sensitive to temperature cycling and extremes. Storing them in a household fridge exposes them to door-cycle swings, freeze risk near the back wall, and zero organization.
With Protocol: Your GLP-1 pen has a dedicated, labeled slot — always cold and organized at home, always protected when you travel.
I run a peptide protocol — multiple vials, different compounds. Will this work for me?
+
Protocol was designed with peptide users in mind. The default configuration holds approximately 15 standard vials in labeled Morning, Night, and As Needed sections. For multi-compound protocols (BPC-157 + TB-500 + CJC + Ipamorelin), you get a dedicated slot for each vial, stable temperature for reconstituted peptides, and a system that travels with your full protocol intact.
Can I use Protocol for insulin? What about freezing risk?
+
Insulin must never be frozen. Standard ice packs can drop temperatures below 0°C and permanently damage insulin — often with no visible sign. The PCM system in Protocol is calibrated to maintain exactly 2–8°C, not below it. Your insulin stays cold without any freeze risk. The insulin pen insert tray (add-on) is designed around common delivery devices.
What's included with Protocol and what are the specs?
+
Every Protocol ships complete:
Medivault™ insulated outer shell
Inner storage container (fridge & counter ready)
PCM phase-change cooling ice pack
Peptide vial tray (Morning / Night / As Needed)
Secure lid with integrated cooling slot
Specs: 2–8°C range · ±0.5°C precision · 12+ hour retention · ~15 vials · TSA carry-on compliant · Matte black exterior

Travel & On-the-Go

4 questions
Can I bring Medivault on a plane? Is it TSA-compliant?
+
Yes. TSA allows medically necessary liquids, medications, and ice packs in carry-on luggage when properly declared. PCM ice packs are permitted with medically necessary items and may receive additional screening — which is standard.
Recommendation: Always declare your medications and cooling packs before screening. Carry a copy of your prescription or a physician's letter if possible. The Medivault TSA Travel Confidence Kit (add-on) includes a laminated documentation card for exactly this.
How do I transition from home to travel mode?
+
Designed to take under 60 seconds with zero repacking:
1
The night before, freeze your PCM ice pack overnight.
2
Pull the inner container from the fridge — your medications are already organized.
3
Slide the inner container into the insulated outer shell.
4
Insert the frozen PCM pack into the lid cooling slot.
5
Close and go. Cold and stable for 12+ hours.
How long will my medications actually stay cold?
+
With a fully frozen PCM pack, 12+ hours within the 2–8°C range under normal conditions. Factors that affect this: ambient heat (keep out of direct sun), how often you open it, and how fully frozen the PCM is. For trips longer than 12 hours, an extra PCM pack (add-on) lets you extend your cold window by swapping packs.
What if the hotel fridge isn't cold enough — or there isn't one?
+
Most hotel fridges are adequate for short stays — place your inner container in it immediately on arrival. Avoid the freezer section. If there's no fridge, call ahead and request one for medical storage — hotels are required to accommodate medical needs in most jurisdictions and this is a routine request. As a backup, rotate PCM packs using ice from the hotel.

Medivault Havyn™

4 questions
What's the difference between Protocol and Havyn?
+
Same engineering philosophy, completely different audience and aesthetic.
Protocol — Built for injectable medication protocols. Matte black, ice blue accents, labeled Morning/Night/As Needed zones for GLP-1, peptides, TRT, insulin, and IVF. Designed for men and women managing daily injection routines.
Havyn — Built for the woman serious about skincare. Deep plum with rose gold accents, vanity-ready design, organized for serums, creams, treatments, and tools. Same precision protection applied to vitamin C, retinols, biological peptides, and medical-grade actives.
Do my skincare products actually need refrigeration — or is this a gimmick?
+
For basic moisturizers — no. But for high-performance active ingredients, cold storage is a legitimate preservation strategy backed by chemistry:
·
Vitamin C: Oxidizes at room temperature, turning yellow. That color change is active degradation happening every day on your counter.
·
Retinol: Degrades when exposed to heat and light. Cold storage significantly extends potency.
·
Biological peptides: Skincare peptides are susceptible to heat degradation — similar to their pharmaceutical counterparts.
If you're spending $100–$400 on a serum, cold storage is rational protection.
Can Havyn travel with me the same way Protocol does?
+
Yes — Havyn uses the same two-mode system as Protocol. The inner beauty container organizes your skincare at home (vanity, bathroom shelf, or fridge for sensitive actives) and slides into the travel shell when you're on the go.
Note on travel: Skincare liquids are subject to TSA's 3.4oz rule for carry-on. The Havyn travel shell is designed to be check-in friendly — durable and protective for checked baggage temperature swings.
I use injectable medications AND serious skincare. Do I need both?
+
Many of our customers are exactly this person — and it's one of the reasons we built two distinct lines. Protocol and Havyn are separate products with different interior configurations, aesthetics, and organizational logic. If you're running an injection protocol and investing seriously in skincare actives, you'll likely want both — they serve different routines in different spaces. We're planning a bundle option for exactly this customer. Join the waitlist and note interest in both.

What will Medivault Life products cost?
+
Pricing hasn't been announced publicly yet. What we can say: founding waitlist members will receive the lowest price Medivault Life will ever be sold at. The retail price will reflect the engineering, materials, and genuine performance of the product. We're targeting a price point that makes sense given the cost of the medications and products these systems protect. Pricing will be revealed to the waitlist first.
Is Medivault a medical device? Is it FDA approved?
+
Medivault Life products are storage systems, not medical devices. They do not diagnose, treat, or administer medications, so FDA medical device approval is not required. Our temperature performance targets align with FDA medication storage guidelines, and our PCM technology is derived from pharmaceutical cold-chain logistics.
Important: Medivault Life is a premium consumer storage product. Always follow your physician's guidance on specific medication storage requirements.
