What you need:

• Peptide vial (powder form)

• Bacteriostatic water (0.9% benzyl alcohol)

• 3ml syringe for drawing water

• Alcohol swabs

• Refrigerator for storage

Reconstitution process:

Step 1: Remove plastic cap from peptide vial. Wipe rubber stopper with alcohol swab, let dry 10 seconds.

Step 2: Draw your chosen water amount into a 3ml syringe (typically 1-3ml).

Common amounts:

• 1ml for high concentration (smaller injections)

• 2ml for medium concentration (balanced)

• 3ml for low concentration (easier to measure small doses)

Step 3: CRITICAL TECHNIQUE - Aim needle at the inside wall of the vial, NOT directly at the powder. Inject water slowly down the glass wall. This prevents damage to peptide chains.

Step 4: DO NOT SHAKE. Let vial sit for 2-3 minutes. Powder dissolves on its own. Gentle swirling in circular motion is okay if needed.

Step 5: Solution should be clear. Cloudiness = contamination or damaged peptide. Don't use cloudy solutions.

Step 6: Refrigerate immediately at 2-8°C (36-46°F). Write reconstitution date on vial. Use within 2-4 weeks.

Why bacteriostatic water, not sterile water?

Bacteriostatic water contains benzyl alcohol preservative that prevents bacterial growth.

You're drawing multiple doses from one vial over weeks. Sterile water lacks preservative - bacteria can grow between uses.

Never use tap water or distilled drinking water. Not sterile. Will contaminate and destroy your peptide.
