Type of BAC Water

[UghItsStupidNIHateIT]

TLDR: Should I toss the peptides I reconstituted with Alpha and Omega brand BAC water?

I am new to all of this. When I first started a few months ago, I was using BAC water from the guy I got the kit from. No clue what brand, it isn’t labeled. I started doing more research and decided to go with Alpha and Omega brand BAC based on some positive reviews. I have recently learned about Hospira BAC water and bought some. Should I toss the peptides I reconstituted with the A & O BAC water? I haven’t had any issues so far but I’m kind of nervous now :-/ what would you do?

If solution is clear and you have no issues pinning that, it is good to go IMO. Hospira is a top tier bac water, but it doesn't mean that any other brands are no good.

Thanks, I appreciate you!

People are only going to recommend Hospira BAC water just because their production is strictly monitored as they supply hospitals and stuff.

From a safety standpoint, it's just minimizing points of failure. If you're using Hospira and get a really bad reaction to something, then it's probably not the BAC water that cause the problem.

Why not err on the safe side and toss it? Is your budget that tight?

But in the end, what you decide to do is up to you. We won't know what you don't share with us.

I just wish Hospira bac water came in smaller sizes than 30ml. With the 28 day shelf life I wouldn’t go through a fraction of that.

Nobody honors the 28-day shelf life. People use the same vial for 3 months and beyond. Never heard of anything adverse happening.

Interesting, I didn’t know that. I always just toss the current bac water I use after a month.

Yeah that’s what I’ve always done too. Now I’m second guessing. Does this also mean that people use reconstituted peptides past 28 days?

People claim that all the time, yes.

Some even do the math and subtract the days BAC has been open from the usable dates for their peps. I was seeing a lot of "about 6 weeks tops." If the BAC had been open for 2 weeks, then the pep is used for max 4 weeks.

Read recently from here that the 28 days is based on FDA guidance for multi-dose vials. Before that, I also read claims that 28 days is in a clinical setting where there's a lot more puncture happening than the average pep user.

Huh. You're right:

Never quite understood the 28 day recommendation. Assumed it was following some kind of sterility testing by the manufacturer.

Love this site; I learn something new every day.

Some people do/will continue to toss at 28 days. Some people use through 90 days. Some people will keep it until it's empty.

At the very least: make sure to wipe the top before and after pin. Check for floaties or any other signs of visible growth.

You have serious problems if your Bac is over 28 days old!

Your not doing enough peps.

Just be sure to use proper cleanliness methods...

 

[pepstacker]

never had cloudiness w/ Hospira! I do try to keep it as clean as posible by storing it in a plastic bag inside of the fridge and wiping w/ alcohol pads before and after however.

Claiming to only want Hospira because of tight regulations and then disregarding the same regulations makes me chuckle.

Good point, lol

This is a great answer

No it’s not a budget thing. It was a how risky is using A & O BAC water. I actually think I paid more for the A & O than the Hospira when my was all said and done.

I'm good for 90 days with mine, but haven't needed to yet. When we hit that R140 we might get close, but I don't think so. Should hit 9 weeks or so.

Hey where did the r140 come from brutha???.

 

[bbbilly]

ive seen in other threads people saying they just use the hospira until its gone. like 9+months post initial puncture, and they might as well just get the best stuff because its not really worth risking a sub par alcohol % or ph being off if they were going to shelf it for that long. but also seen a ton of people saying they have had so few, if any, issues with the included no label water for the peps that they use the whole vial with a couple weeks anyway.

WW GB, it closed a while back. They do quite a few large volume things. That was before we talked.
