Beginner-question AOD 9604

[Lady Hamilton]

Thanks, although Geoff and Randy said that if you need to resort to using acetic acid then it’s inferior peptide, BAC water, or poor method. If you’re having to use acetic acid with good method then the peptide maybe non-effective, therefore no point injecting, only vacuum and lots of BAC water required. Geoff used a ratio of 1ml to 1mg. Not sure I can get 5ml in my vial!
I’m trying to give my 5mg AOD the best chance without having to use acetic acid. Geoff mentioned that he has difficulty with 5mg vials and that 2mg are better.
I’m wondering what measurements people are having success with, with 5mg vials.

My first reconstitution with an awkward peptide! I should be a professional after this

I pre-fill syringes after I recon. So for a 5mg vial, I have 5 syringes that I store in the fridge and then pull out each morning. Otherwise drawing out of the vial can take a long time as it's a "thicker" liquid and needs to warm up etc.

@bangkokiscool
That’s a good idea, thanks for that
I reconstituted my first vial, so far so good. It took a long time to dissolve….I’m not sure how quickly it will gel, if it does at all, fingers crossed.

@gym.rat hey, no, not researching AOD solo, I’m on triz and I’m fasting from evening meal, through to lunch the next day, trying to only eat protein, veg and whole foods, minimal carbs - keeping it clean. At weekends I go for a run in the mornings in a fasted state. It’s ok, it’s got me through a stall. Still assessing.

I just watched a video on this - https://youtu.be/U5i_g6ZhAU0?si=IaBHk0wRKjaZCiP3
No acid needed

@ayb9rde2vjk_GUC0jgp Luckily, I’ve reconstituted 2 vials now, perfectly. I think watching loads of people saying it gels, made me panic. Jeff and @randy video was really helpful

FYI I think it has a lot to do with the brand of BAC. When I use TM BioWater I get gelling. When I use Hospira no gelling. Tested on vials from two different suppliers' same results. Did a PH test on both BAC waters. TM BioWater = just barely under 7. Hospira = 5.5.

I've never had gelling of my AOD. All I've used is hospira bac water. Speaking of which, K-hole just released an article testing bac water and storage issues. Once again, hospira is proved to be top dog.

Anyone filtering AOD/. I seem to really getting it though a filter.

I did and didn't have any issues. Just took my time.
