Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about peptides, storage, and shipping
What is Bacteriostatic Water and why do I need it?
▼
Bacteriostatic Water (BacW) is sterile water preserved with 0.9% benzyl alcohol. It's used to reconstitute (dissolve) peptide powders before injection. Without it, your peptide cannot be administered. Most peptide vials are lyophilized (freeze-dried) and must be mixed with BacW before use.
How do I store my peptides?
▼
Unreconstituted peptide vials (freeze-dried powder) should be stored in the refrigerator (2–8°C) and kept away from light. Once reconstituted with Bacteriostatic Water, store in the refrigerator and use within 28–30 days. Never freeze a reconstituted peptide.
How do I reconstitute a peptide?
▼
Use a clean alcohol swab to wipe the vial cap. Draw your desired amount of Bacteriostatic Water into a syringe. Inject the BacW slowly down the side of the vial — do not spray directly onto the powder. Gently swirl (do not shake) until fully dissolved. The solution should be clear.
How do I calculate my dose?
▼
Use our built-in Peptide Dosage Calculator (Dosage Calculator link in the navbar). Enter your vial size, how much BacW you added, and your desired dose — it will tell you exactly how many units to draw on your syringe.
What gauge needle should I use?
▼
For subcutaneous (sub-Q) injections, a 29–31 gauge, 8mm insulin syringe works well for most peptides. Our Insulin Needles 100pc (31g/8mm) are ideal for peptide administration and come in packs of 100.
How is shipping handled?
▼
Orders are processed within 1–2 business days. Domestic (US) shipping typically takes 3–7 business days via USPS or UPS. You'll receive tracking information via the email you provided at checkout. All packages are discreet with no product details on the outside.
Do you ship internationally?
▼
Currently we ship within the United States only. We are working to expand international shipping in the future. Check back or contact us to be notified.
Are your products tested for purity?
▼
Yes. Our peptides are sourced from certified manufacturers and undergo third-party testing. Certificate of Analysis (CoA) documentation is available upon request — contact us via the Contact page.
What payment methods do you accept?
▼
We accept all major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express). All transactions are SSL-encrypted for your security.
