How to Reconstitute Peptides
Bacteriostatic Water (BAC Water) is the only recommended diluent. Do not dilute with sterile water, normal saline, lidocaine, or any other solution unless explicitly specified by the manufacturer.

GUIDE
General Handling Technique
Wash hands and clean the injection site with an alcohol swab. Pinch a fold of skin and insert the needle at a 45–90° angle for standard subcutaneous injection (abdomen, thigh, or upper arm). Inject slowly, withdraw, and apply gentle pressure. Rotate injection sites to reduce irritation, and dispose of needles in an approved sharps container.

GUIDE
Storage Guide
Store lyophilized (powder) vials in a freezer at -20°C, protected from light. Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, refrigerate at 2–8°C and use within the timeframe recommended in your supplier documentation — typically 2–4 weeks.

GUIDE
Travel Guide
Keep peptides in their original packaging with the label. Use an insulated travel case for reconstituted product. Keep order documentation on hand in case it's requested at customs.

Frequently asked
How long does a reconstituted peptide last?
Typically 2–4 weeks refrigerated — always check your supplier documentation for the specific product.
Can I travel with peptides?
See the travel guide above. Regulations vary by destination — check local rules before traveling.
What if I don't have a scale to measure water?
Use a graduated U-100 syringe to measure BAC water precisely by mL instead of a scale.
