Everything you need to reconstitute with confidence.
Short, honest guides written for beginners — how BAC water works, how to read a vial, what syringe units mean, and how to store your mixed peptide safely.
What is BAC Water?
Bacteriostatic water is sterile water mixed with 0.9% benzyl alcohol. The alcohol prevents bacterial growth, which is why the same vial can be used across multiple doses over sever
ReadHow peptide reconstitution works
Peptides are shipped as a freeze-dried powder. To use them, you add BAC water to the vial, which dissolves the powder into a stable solution you can draw from. The key idea: the co
ReadHow to read a peptide vial label
A peptide vial label shows: the peptide name, the strength (usually in mg), a lot number, and sometimes an expiration for the powder. The strength is the total amount of peptide in
ReadHow to use an insulin syringe
Insulin syringes are marked in units on the U-100 scale: 100 units = 1 mL. A 1 mL insulin syringe has 100 markings; a 0.5 mL has 50; a 0.3 mL has 30 (often with half-unit ticks). R
ReadWhat syringe units mean
On a U-100 insulin syringe, one "unit" = 0.01 mL. So 10 units = 0.1 mL, 25 units = 0.25 mL, and so on. When our planner tells you to draw "10 units", it means to pull the plunger b
ReadHow to store reconstituted peptides
Refrigerate reconstituted peptides at 36–46°F (2–8°C). Keep them upright, protected from light, and away from the freezer coils. Most reconstituted peptides remain stable for ~28–3
ReadHow long BAC water lasts
Sealed BAC water is stable until its printed expiration (usually 12–24 months). Once punctured, a 30 mL vial is generally considered good for ~28 days refrigerated. If it looks clo
ReadBAC water vs. sterile water
Sterile water for injection has no preservative. It's fine for a single-use reconstitution, but every time you re-enter the vial you introduce contamination risk. BAC water contain
ReadCommon reconstitution mistakes to avoid
Shaking the vial — swirl gently. Shaking can denature peptides. Aiming the water at the powder — angle it against the wall of the vial. Skipping the label — always write the peptid
