Ocean Bac Janoshik results (as promised)

[Jfrick11]

I mentioned about 6 weeks ago, that I was in a group buy for Ocean Bac at about 100usd for a case. Janoshik Testing came back today....

MOD EDIT :Results removed due to violating the rule regarding sharing results from group tests without permission (see https://glp1forum.com/threads/when-posting-test-results.24/ ) and also moved thread to the Lab Testing Results/Reports section where such posts if they weren't already violating the rules would belong because people keep posting crap in the Public Square section that doesn't belong there.

I’m taking this as a sign my Amazon BAC is good to go.

.82% bezyl alcohol is within the USP spec. 7.23 pH is over the USP spec. There is a thread on Peppy's that discusses the difficulty of properly measuring BAC for pH and alcohol percentage and that it requires a certain methodology. It's not known if Jano follows this methodology or not, but Peter was tagged in the conversation. More to come, possibly.

A pH level of 7.3 seems somewhat problematic. While it might not be a major issue for the GLP-1 class, it poses a problem for the reconstitution of CJC-1295 or Ipamorelin.

It's 7.23 pH, which seems close to neutral, but it is problematic for almost all peptides. It would cause faster degradation of just about all of them, and more so with something like Reta. pH is logarithmic, meaning that each unit change represents a tenfold change in hydrogen ion concentration, so 7.23 pH is 1.7x more alkaline, if my math is correct. All previous tests of Ocean that I've seen were within USP specs, so I think we need to hear what Jano says.

Unfortunately, degradation products like benzaldehyde aren't tested. That would have helped determine whether it's old water whose pH has drifted or whether it's a systematic production issue.

That's not water I'd inject myself with.

Hospira is 5.7pH and 9% BA. It tests very close to that too.
