Bacteriostatic Saline (0.9% Sodium Chloride) vs. Bacteriostatic Water

[Jfrick11]

Does anyone know if these can be used interchangeably with GLP1s? Ph is roughly the same and I can't find anything that says sodium chloride degrades this specific peptide. The straight Hospira Bac seems harder and harder to get, where the Bac NS seem readily available.

But fine for Tirz correct?

I think so. There is no clouding with tirz. And no one has reported any problems.

Even the clouding with reta is controversial since @scarywood75 reported no clouding with reta.

It doesn't work for Ipamorelin that I know so far.

Everything else I reconstituted with isn't cloudy but sometimes need to be adjusted with a buffer, like tesamorelin and cagri

Do you adjust cagri to a pH of 4 anyway? Or do you have your own acceptable range?

From what I read, saline BAC has a pH of around 5.0, while regular BAC may be 5.7. So maybe a 0.7 difference for being more acidic than regular BAC.

I'm under the impression that in Europe it's almost impossible to get bacteriostatic water so they use saline for everything. But maybe I'm wrong?
