Bacteriostatic Water vs Sterile Water
-
Many people mistakenly believe that bacteriostatic water and sterile water are the same thing and that can cause dangerous results due to severe infection risk.
Sterile water is 100% distilled water while sterile saline water is distilled and includes 0.9% sodium chloride but neither has any preservatives so once opened, it is at high risk for bacterial/microbial contamination and only should only be used for immediate single use doses.
Bacteriostatic water is sterile water with 0.9% benzyl alcohol added. It actively kills bacteria and can keep the peptide mixture stable for 14-28 days after opening.
Because bac water alone can cause mild stinging/irritation for nasal solutions, it is recommended to first reconstitute the peptide with bac water to prevent bacterial growth. Then combine that mixture with sterile 0.9% saline to dilute it and prevent irritation to the sinuses.

Randy did a test showing BA is still strong after 4 months even at room temperature AND exposed to air.
I wish he would had continued it to see how long it took to get to that .3%, where bacteriostasis stops being reliable.
Double and triple check EVERYTHING yourselves though and don't take anything I say for it's word! I don't have one of dem edumacations in da field. I used spellcheck to type THIS out and STILL had to go back and correct it!!!
