reconstituting peptides.

Yo, being a brewer I probably know the answer to this just as well as anybody lol, but in case I'm overlooking something. Anyone see a problem with this. I have both hex and mod igf 1-29 in 5mg vials. I wanna ad 2ml bac water, draw up, put in sterile 10ml vial and add another 3ml of bac water for a total of 5ml bac water to 5mg of peps. That way each 1/10th a ml is 100mcg. Never done peps so wanted any opinions before I do this. Thanks everybody.

Would also like to jump in and ask for a cheap place for bac water/ acetic acid

Easy to make or you can buy anywhere including ebay.

why so much bac water? adding 2mL bac water to the 5mg peptide vial makes each 4iu equal 100mcg

I just would prefer a larger amount to pin. If I put 5ml with 5mg every 1/10 of a ml would be 100mcg. Pinning 2/10 of product (hex and mod 1-29) is also a very small amount of liquid. I can make sure less is wasted and I can be a little more exact with dosing, and I can actually see it, lol. I make my own bac water (well, actually injectable b12) so I have tons of it. I think I have like 100ml of it just sitting here, lol. Half the time I'm drawing up such a small amount I'm squinting trying to see if I've got the right amount in there. I also have a shit ton of sterile 10ml vials so really no draw back I would think.

I don't know much about PEPs per say but i KNOW short chain peptides LOVE to form dimers and trimers with either their long or short chain cousins.

Peps also readily contort into varying shapes and configurations especially when exposed to ANY solvent that has a non-physiologic PH, is polar or ionic or of high osmolarity. The point being PEPS bound or disfigured, rather than free with an appropriate biologic 3-D configuration are essentially worthless.

So what does all that mean? I would discourage mixing different PEPS mate, unless they were to be used immediately or they were not yet reconstituted in solution. I would also suggest you limit the amount of "preservative" to the least amount possible.

Thanks dr. Jim.

I reconstituted separately but in their own 10ml vial. I only use 1% ba for my preservative. As far as the b12, you think that would affect the peps? I didn't read anything in your statement that lead me to believe so. Thanks again.
