Reconstituting peptides

[Tuffoldman]

What is everyone's preference on reconstituting peptides between these two?


Bacteriostatic
Water Injection

Bacteriostatic
Sodium Chloride

I know the ultra purified water in
Bacteriostatic water is the most popular. But sodium chloride is so much cheaper way way cheaper.


Is a reason why everybody goes to the water rather than the sodium chloride or is it just because that's how we've always done it?

Just have always used the water.

Most of the
common peptides we use are slightly more stable in bacteriostatic water. Sodium Chloride slightly accelerates degradation over time. So, bacteriostatic water is actually the best.

AI said this as I was curious.

@Massive G I got the same information when I threw it in ai. But to me the discomfort part of it doesn't matter one way or the other I don't care if a shot hurts it hurts you just kind of get used to it. But the cost of one over the other is so tremendously different.


My concern is what @Bigtex mention I assume that things would degrade faster with the sodium chloride. I was thinking something that you would reconstitute and use within a few days such as Mots-c if I reconstitute a vial of that it's gone in 3 days so that may be okay but anything that's going to sit for weeks at a time may not be as viable.

I was thinking of ph but searching on both they are around the same. I really don't think it makes a difference as the peptides are in a stabilizing solution for freeze drying so it shouldn't affect them much. I found a few vials of cjc no dac with ipamorelin in my dresser drawer. Been there for over a year.
I used one vial and it was fine as the stuff flushed me beet red after injection. My test for potency. Perhaps I will try some bacteriostatic saline to see if it feels the same.
