Mixing BAC... how much?

[Groovy-Mode]

I got a tiny vial of this stuff (10mg). Anyone know how big these things usually are? Debating whether to mix it with 1ml or 2ml of bac water. What do you guys usually do?

I wouldn't get stuff like that from just anywhere, lol.

 

[Groovy-Mode]

Thanks. You got any thoughts on my actual question?

 

[Light_Guy]

Yeah, me neither. Sketchy.

 

[CaffeineQueen79]

Most of those vials can handle 3ml easy. Just depends how you wanna dose it.

Cool. Thanks.

Either 1 ml or 2 ml should work fine for reconstitution. What dosage amount are you planning? Please share your results!

 

[Groovy-Mode]

For sure! Been down this road before. I usually go with somewhere between 0.5mg and 2mg, and 1mg seems to be the sweet spot for me. My main question is the amount of bac water to use.

 

[Frankie_28]

Looks right to me. If you add 1 ml of bac water, then 10 units on your syringe will give you a 1 mg dose.

When you guys reconstitute, be careful injecting the water. Aim for the side of the vial instead of directly into the powder. Injecting directly can degrade the peptide. Just a tip!

Adding to what @Checkup said, sometimes those vials have a slight vacuum. Draw air into your syringe, insert the needle into the vial, and release the air *before* adding the bac water. This helps equalize the pressure and prevents turbulence when you inject the water.

Thanks @Great! Good to know!

I always struggled drawing the right dose when using very little liquid. Now, I tend to add more water than necessary during reconstitution, so I can draw a larger amount on the syringe for better accuracy.

 

[Groovy-Mode]

That's a really helpful point, @FitRoad. I've definitely had issues drawing such small amounts accurately. Diluting it more would probably help a lot.

So if I get a vial that's 15mg and want to take 100mcg 4 times a day, how much water should I add? I'm using insulin syringes.

 

[Frankie_28]

If you mix 7.5mL of bacteriostatic water into a 15mg vial, then each 0.5mL on your syringe will equal 1000mcg, and 0.05mL will be 100mcg. That said, as @FitRoad pointed out, it's hard to draw that small an amount accurately.

Using cag with just bac water, didnt know better at first. Anyone know if thats harmful?

For 10mg I usually go with 2ml of bac water, that way you're at 5mg per ml and easy math on the doses. Some people do 1ml to keep more concentration but 2ml gives more flexibility if you're titrating up slowly.

1mL into a 10mg vial gives a clean 10mg/mL concentration. Easy to dose from.
