Non-sketchy alternative to Hospira bac water (in glass vials)?

@Stevepep it comes down to risk tolerance. Hospira wont give you issues. Other off brand water might. Its unregulated. A lot of times PH is off, benzyl alcohol content is off, something is living in it or there's high endo numbers. Half the time someone has issues with foggy or clumpy peptides its the water.
I have lost count of the times someone's rat has had a reaction to something and I say "just do 10iu of the water and see what happens" and they get the same reaction.
"but my friend jerry uses uncle wangs toilet water with no problem! Hospira is a scam!" That's great. I'm glad it works for them. If you go outside of Hospira you need to get it tested. If you don't your risk tolerance is different than mine.
I am friendly with a few of the owners of the companies you buy from and they sell water... Every single one still gets Hospira for themselves.

Based on the number of threads recently, I am starting to think this forum has developed a mild case of Hospira Derangement Syndrome.

Stay safe, research responsibly, share good information, and let people make their own decisions.

There was also the test on expired Hospira, I think they even had a ten year old (unopened) bottle that was still good. So I would take 3 year expired Hospjra over untested other BAC water. If there is a vendor that had COAs up that were under 6 months old - and I couldn’t get Hospjra - I would buy a few cases of it and send out a bottle from each to be tested…

I work with a form of benzyl alcohol in my industry and its shelf life is less than 18 months before it starts to lose potency and it loses its ability to combat bacteria after 24 months. Unopened. Like I say we are all consenting adults it’s a matter of risk. If people want to buy 3 years worth and have convinced themselves it’s good for 3 years then that’s their choice.
In terms of a 6 month old COA maybe the run a large production run every 6 months who knows
