Step-by-Step Reconstitution Guide
Gather Supplies
You'll need: bacteriostatic water, alcohol swabs, syringes (for mixing and dosing), and your lyophilized peptide vial.
Pro Tip: Always use bacteriostatic water, not sterile water, for longer shelf life.
Clean & Prepare
Wipe the rubber stopper of both the peptide vial and bacteriostatic water vial with alcohol swabs. Let dry completely.
Pro Tip: Work in a clean environment to prevent contamination.
Add Water Slowly
Draw your calculated amount of bacteriostatic water. Insert needle into peptide vial and release water slowly along the glass wall.
Pro Tip: Never spray directly onto the powder—it can damage the peptide.
Mix Gently
Gently swirl the vial in circular motions until the powder is fully dissolved. The solution should be clear.
Pro Tip: Never shake vigorously—this can denature the peptide.

Common Weekly Protocols
5 Days On / 2 Days Off
Most common protocol. Dosing on weekdays with weekends off for recovery.
5 doses per week
Every Other Day (EOD)
Alternating days protocol. Good for peptides requiring spacing between doses.
4 doses per week
Daily Protocol
7 days per week dosing. Often used for shorter research cycles.
7 doses per week
Storage & Safety Guidelines
Storage Temperatures
Lyophilized (Powder)
Store unreconstituted peptides in freezer. Stable for 24+ months.
Reconstituted (Liquid)
Refrigerate after mixing. Use within 30 days for best stability.
Important Precautions
- Protect from light—store in original vial or wrap in foil
- Never freeze reconstituted peptides
- Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles for powder
- Always use sterile technique when drawing doses
- Discard if solution becomes cloudy or discolored
- Keep away from direct sunlight and heat sources
Quick Reference
Unit Conversions
1 mg = 1,000 mcg
1 mL = 1,000 µL
1 mL = 100 units (insulin syringe)
10 units = 0.1 mL = 100 µL
Common Water Volumes
Use more water for easier measuring of smaller doses
Syringe Guide
Insulin syringes recommended for accurate small volumes
