Like much of the rest of the world, we have a Hospira BAC shortage in the Great White North. Some on line Pharma's have them but have a limit of two per person....and wouldn't you know it, 2 units doesn't meet their minimum shipping threshold. I bumped up my purchase with the Sodium Chloride BAC. After some quick AI'ing around, seemed like a viable alternative for the right peps.

Has anyone tried Reconstituting their research peptides with Hospira 0.9% Bacteriostatic Sodium Chloride (30 mL)

Theoretically speaking it might help to lessen the sting from Peptides like Mots-C

I heard RETA was a hard no

Anyone else have any experience or knowledge in this area ?

@TBone - thanks for the heads up - managed to get two orders together. 40 weeks of supply.

Should last a year with the odd off cycle thrown in every once in a while

@vpeptides - that makes more sense. That was a great deal offering. I was going to order it...oh well...you snooze you lose

If you could manage to order that Deal you posted, 3 x's, you would be buying 60 weeks at 5 mg /week for a little over $2500

@vpeptides - I guess its kind of moot given that they sold out

Buying 10 single units +15 Free, yields a better per mg price than buying 10 double vials + 15 single vials free

@vpeptides

If I am interpreting the promotion correctly, it is cheaper to buy the 10 of the singles and get 15 free

But it doesn't matter really, because they are sold out now ...lol!

@vpeptides - I was just going to post this as well.

I think the math per mg works out better than the recent 50% off sale they had on the 5mg FLGR-242 bottles.

If you are buying 10 bottles of Slim Assist Singles at $62.50/bottle, you also get 15 bottles of Slim Assist free.

So you are getting 25 vials of Slim Assist for $625.50 - 15% Jay Discount = $531.25

2 mg of FLGR242/Vial x 25 vials = 50mg of FLGR = $10.63/Mg of FLGR-242

If taking a 5 mg dose per week, that's $53.13/week which fairly reasonable if it does what it's supposed to do.

It's a 10 week supply , but if your partner or loved one orders as well, you can at least double that amount

@bfuller - I think he is a solid starting point for people just getting into it. His SKOOL Group has an education section which is actually quite useful on anything from Peptides, to nutrition to training etc... If someone was just getting into training, supplements and peptides, I wouldn't hesitate to tell them to check out his education section.

I'm not doubting that most of that information is AI Generated but it is organized and presented in way that is genuinely helpful for anyone starting out.

I like your list, Dr Jackson is great and a fellow Canuck, but he doesn't post much content, but clearly he is incredibly informed on Anabolics.

I just became aware of Dr Bakari, I like him a lot.

Duffin and Castore are both great.

Not a huge Hunter fan at all.

I don't know the other guys yet, will check them out.

I just spoke with a China supplier I am dealing with. Apparently is requires a special type of pen to administer.

Here another image for reference

I keep coming across pictures of what looks like elongated Pen style vials with two rubber stoppers in them. On one side of the vials appears to be Lyophilized Powder and then on the other side of the vial (separated by a rubber stopper) there appears to be a some sort of reconstituting solution.

Does anyone know how these are supposed to work ?

How are supposed to dispense these ?

What kind of pen would you use these with ?

If you have a link to the 12 sample BAC Water test you are referring to,would you mind sharing it ?

Interesting idea with the home brew BAC Water but unless you have a CGMP certified clean room in your home, there are so many points of potential contamination in most home environments, that I think it would be safer to use the Lambda water.

I use Hospira BAC for about 90+% of my reconstitutions. When I on occasion run out, I do use some Lamba which I have on hand, and have not had any issues.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned it here before but there is an on-going 15% discount on FGLR with the code “JFDISCOUNT"

@tombourque - GrowthGuys seems to be a Canadian supplier that offers a lot of up to date tests on their products.

On the even greyer market side you could also check out QSC. You will have to use the telegram app and you also need to pay by Crytpo

They have sporadic Canadian availability but at really good pricing and with posted Janoshik COA's

Canadian restocking has recently been on the rise but the stuff sells out quickly so you need to check in regularly.

I had a couple of items tested at Testides as well.....both came back 99.9% (Reta and BPC). This made me question the accuracy of their testing. They have been having equipment issues and they were really behind on testing. They also got some new equipment in. It made wonder if there is still some calibration for them to do on their machines.

Consider your question! 'Weight loss" is not my goal and should NOT be your question. Body composition is. I'm up 17 lbs from bottom (155lbs), and now 12.5% body fat. So, fat way down, lean mass way up in 5 months. At age 65 what i did was "impossible" (lol)

Wow.....I missed out on a lot of discussion and just getting caught up now.

First off, thanks for sharing your experience in such detail.

I am a slightly younger, old dude at 57, so I am reading your progress with great interest.

I will not be purchasing kg's of caviar or going full carnivore, but I am guessing most people who will be using this peptide won't be on any of those eating protocols.

I did note that you are researching a bunch of 'supportive' elements. This is probably near impossible for you to answer, but it's worth a shot. At this point in time, I am not really interested in researching TRT and/or the GH Route. I'm not saying never , but that's just me at this point in time.

Are you able to discern how much of the gains are solely from the FLGR242 ? Do you feel that there are synergies between the GH and T and FLGR242 ?

I know this is totally speculative, but do you feel that someone not researching GH or T would see some form of noticeable results ?

Thanks for sharing, cheers!

So, it's more cost effective to buy CJC and IPA separately than it is combined in a single vial.

Any opinions on reconstituting CJC and IPA separately and then combining them in a single vial ?

Would that be any different than buying the combined peps in one vial and reconstituting ?

For a brief period here in the Great White North, Hospira BAC was in short supply. I ended up getting, ordering and using 'Reconstitution Solution' from a company called Lamba Water LLC

https://www.lambdawater.com/

I only used their BAC for a short while without issue and then quickly reverted back to Hospira once it came back in stock

I have 3 x 30ml bottles in my inventory.

They are showing Lab Assays on their website and it is apparently made in the USA

Includes Lot#'s, Manufacturing dates and Expiry Dates.

I have no idea what to test BAC Water for, but the labs reports on their site look legit.

Any thoughts on this brand of BAC ?

I wouldn't mind using them instead of just throwing them out.

Here is a link to their COA;

Sooooo.......What's your de-bubbulating (new term I made up) technique ? Enquiring minds want to know!

he blue stripe will be black, like the one in this

Thanks for the explanation
