    So now that Amazon has suspended all sales of BAC water, and possibly many other peptides products, what do we do?

    Is there a way to make our own BAC water? Should we try to order a bunch of it from another website before it becomes extinct? Is there any stores we can physically visit iand buy it? Can we use something else to reconstitute? My rat just received a care package with lots of great peptides but no water!

      How long have you been using Amazon bac water??? Very sketchy. There’s a bunch of places that sell it if you hit the search button instead of new post 😉 (but seriously most vendors sell their own which I don’t really recommend but you do you or they sell hospira for a premium)

        @izzdatboi why is it sketchy to get BAC water off Amazon, never even occurred to me there would be any difference in quality, guess that makes sense

          Dr. Ashley Froese just put out a video on this, about two hours ago, on her YT channel.

            @danny2 a dozen bac waters were once tested from Amazon. Only two were good. Most didnt even have benzyl alcohol.

            Peptides are only as good as your Bac Water

                Glow Aminos has their Bac tested and puts COA in description. I have not ordered from them but perhaps someone who has will come along and advise like/dislike.

                  Do Glow Aminos show the ph level of their bac. That seems to be the biggest problem. Hospira has the best ph it seems and solves many of the problems (except for the mots I just got from Chimera).

                        @Stevepep I've been a big Glacier proponent and have a few large orders from there, BUT....they are coming under scrutiny now because they are heavily tied to use of Kovera Labs, who are certainly looking like a pure scam as the days go on. So there might be some buddying up between vendors and testers for fabricated COAs. I'm not saying Glacier is lying, but there is reason to be skeptical thats for sure.

                        Upon my own research, Kovera Labs looks fake AF.

                          @gym.rat I just had to pay $300 for a box of 25 30 ml bottles from medex, it's supposed to be hospira. And it's got almost a month long wait. Geesh. I can't believe I didn't put 2 and 2 together that BAC water is actually super important, wish I would have figured this out a month ago duhhhhhh

                            @danny2 Live and learn my son.

                            I've only ever purchased it from peptide test and my second order I oversized b/c it's Hospira, they ship fast, and its cheap. I knew it was only a matter of time before the supply got tight.

                              @danny2 If I were you, might not be a bad idea to run KPV or similar as a just in case. It's supposed to be a direct antimicrobial agent.

                                    @Stevepep I think you are missing the point. Kovera Labs is fake, at least that is where all the evidence is pointing.

                                      @danny2 No, don't do that. Get it here: https://ionpeptide.com/product/bacteriostatic-water-hospira/

                                      I've done two orders from Ion and they seem legit. They also ship super fast and you might get this by Wednesday depending on where you live.

                                          @Stevepep

                                          Yes, Ion has used them, but based on the products I buy they are not using them very often. Glacier on the other hand is all over Kovera. PeptideSupplyCo is a very active company on X and I've talked to the owner. Dude seems legit and their COAs are mostly Freedom Diags. As Randy says, vendors are good until they are not. So I buy from about 4-ish different places.

                                          Main Concerns

                                          Shared workspace / virtual address: Their listed location (Deerfield/Buffalo Grove, IL area, e.g., 570 Lake Cook Rd Suite 300 PMB) points to a coworking space or mailbox service rather than a proper equipped analytical lab. This is a common setup for low-overhead operations but raises doubts about having full HPLC, LC-MS, endotoxin, sterility, and heavy metals capabilities in-house.
                                          "David Cohen" (Quality Director): The LinkedIn profile tied to them has been called out as potentially fake or AI-generated. No strong independent verification of credentials or a real lab team.
                                          Ties to vendors: Reverse DNS and other checks by skeptics suggest the domain is linked to some peptide-selling sites. This fuels suspicions it's more of a "friendly" testing mill for vendors wanting quick, high-purity-looking COAs rather than a fully independent lab. Some note that vendors switching to them suddenly get suspiciously high results.
                                          New and thin presence: Very young website, limited public info on staff/equipment/accreditation, and not much history. Scamadviser gives it a fair-but-not-great score mainly due to the newness.
