So, I can't just reconstitute with bac water?

[GimmeABreak]

Some of this stuff about playing with pH confuses tf outta me. I read that peptides should have buffers that keep the pH where it should be. WTF? I didn't see a side note with exceptions for certain peptides.

AFAIK there are only a few peps that need to be buffered up/down. The PH of most peptides are fine and don't need to be buffered. The only thing I have ever had to buffer is (unbuffered) NAD+. I almost always check the PH, especially with a new kit, just make sure.

Reta, Tirz, SS31, Semax, Selank, BP157, TB4, TA1, Epithalon, KPV, MOTs-c, Thymulin all do not normally need to be buffered up or down, or at least I didn't have to buffer them.

You probably shouldn’t pretend you are some kind of authority on the subject either.

Can you point to me "pretending I am some kind of authority"? I'll assume your comment was a completely meaningless tit-for-tat until you do.

He's using distilled water, not medically sterile water for injection. And it's irresponsible to conflate the two.

Prove it.

Distilled water can be used. I use to shoot heroin with tap water and never had a problem. To each their own.

This is the worst take in this thread. Good lord.

How i recently mixed my ipamorelin was a fresh unopened bottle of distilled water.

@AndyPanda maybe you missed this part.
"Prove it" what, are you in middle school? Also I'm still waiting for you to support your accusation that I was acting like an "expert".

If any new-to-grey-peptides folks are reading this, just close this thread and move on. This thread is pretty fucked with terrible advice.

I wasn't looking to turn this into a fight folks.

Anything could be used, doesn't mean it should though. Harm reductive measures are best. This is especially true for new to grey folks that do very little research on their own and just follow the first easy thing they see. We're not their gatekeepers, or medical professionals, but good info is best.
I had clients that used toilet tank water in a gas station bathroom, or left over bottle water laying on the street among other things, to do their junk, some get lucky, some don't.

I reconstitute Glutathione with Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) and have reconstituted Tirzepatide with Methylcobalamin (B-12). It saves me syringes and simplifies my life.

This is for any newbie that runs across this thread. Can distilled, sterile, tap, bac, etc be used? Straight from the man himself. Everyone always has their own opinions and beliefs. Just goes to show why you have to do your own research and form your own conclusions.

Recommending not using bac water is pure insanity. I wouldn’t listen to this ever.

He has the degrees and knowledge to backup what he says. If you think he is insane than you should probably not pay attention to the many many test results you see from him.

I interpreted Janoshik's advice in the context of living in the EU, where bacteriostatic water is not readily available. If I was in the EU without access to bacteriostatic water, then I'd use sterile water. In the US, I use Hospira bacteriostatic water or the free vials of bacteriostatic water that PGB includes.

It's also not hard to make sterile water bacteriostatic. You just add benzyl alcohol and now it's bac water.

I feel like people are leaving out a lot of context. And also jumping to comparisons to addicts who might use tap water cause they're desperate. Yeah you probably wont die but if you have the means, why even take the risk?

Another terribly silly take, here.
You should ask Jano what degrees he has, you'd probably be surprised.

also, I'm not sure what his personal and/or geographic preference of sterile water for injection vs bacteriostatic water for injection (which he cannot source in CZ) has to do with the results of his HPLC machine.

No one thinks Jano is insane, they think you are for advocating for such ignorant practices. Please reconsider dying on this hill - it's a losing battle.

Best practices for peptide reconstitution are to use bacteriostatic water for injection or sterile water for injection. Using tap water, distilled water, bottled water et al are all bad choices and do not promote harm reduction.
