Hospira BAC source?

[CutFWIW]

Same here. It's Hospira.

 

[The_IMO]

Curious, how did you confirm?

 

[CutFWIW]

Wild guess here, but maybe by opening the package?

 

[SunnyJourney]

Yep, what @CutFWIW said! Seriously, all the bottles match the characteristics in the guide. It's legit.

I have to use vendor bac because it's impossible to get it here in Europe. There are sellers on that big online retailer, but they're overpriced.

 

[The_IMO]

Haha, I thought it was rebottled, which is why I was wondering.

 

[ToneLady763]

I'm wondering, why suggest more than 5 from that one place? Looks like the price is basically the same, about $10 a bottle at both places. Shipping is similar too.

Hey, I'm looking to reconstitute some semaglutide. I have a 5mg vial. How much bacteriostatic water should I add? Also, what's the correct injection amount for a starting dose?

 

[Bobby_97]

For semaglutide, there are calculators online that can help with the math to figure out the correct amount of bac water to add to a 5mg vial to get a specific dose. I'd Google "peptide reconstitution calculator".

About reconstituting peptides like sermorelin, there’s a general guideline. For every 2mg of peptide, use 1ml of bac water. So for a 5mg vial, you’d add 2.5ml. Then you can figure out your dosage based on the concentration.

Thanks, that's helpful! I was told to use a crazy amount of water, and it's costing me way too much. I'm glad to have a better idea of what to do now.

Does the BAC from him work okay, asking because you know him and might have experience. Seems like people stress about BAC more than the powder from overseas. If not the right brand then you have to mix yourself.

Pharmacy for BAC water is the most reliable. Check the supply thread here for current options.

 

[Ant_Dude89]

PHD bacteriostatic water on Amazon UK is widely used as the Hospira alternative - benzyl alcohol content and pH match the peptide reconstitution spec. Most EU/UK users have moved to regional pharmacy-grade options since the shortage, and PHD has enough community track record to be a reasonable standby.

 

[Jules_1999]

Hospira has been patchy for a while - most people use whatever bacteriostatic NaCl their vendor carries. The spec is the same; brand doesn't matter.

 

[TrimQuest]

Hospira is intermittently short. Generic BAC at comparable pH works fine - most suppliers stock it and reconstitution results are equivalent.

BAC water batch inconsistency is more common than most people account for - the cloudiness pattern being tied to a specific bottle rather than the peptide is the clearest way to isolate it, and switching bottles resolves it more often than reformulating the reconstitution approach.

Hospira supply dried up for most reliable channels in recent months.
