New to peptides? Read this page first.

Five steps, in order. Nothing else on this website matters until these make sense.

Take it slowly. You do not need to remember any of it, because every page repeats the numbers you need.

The five steps

  1. Learn what a peptide is. It is a short chain of amino acids, the same building blocks that make protein. Your body already makes hundreds of them.
  2. Gather your supplies: the peptide vial, bac water, alcohol wipes, and insulin syringes.
  3. Mix the vial. Add the right amount of bac water to the dry powder, slowly, down the side of the glass.
  4. Store it. Once mixed, the vial lives in the refrigerator.
  5. Measure your dose. Use the calculator to turn milligrams into units on the syringe, then draw to that line.

What you need on hand

  • The peptide vial itself, still sealed and still a dry powder.
  • Bacteriostatic water, also called bac water or reconstitution solution.
  • Insulin syringes, U-100, usually 29 to 31 gauge.
  • Alcohol wipes for the vial top and the skin.
  • A sharps container for used needles.

Plain sterile water is not the same thing. Bacteriostatic water has a small amount of benzyl alcohol in it, which is what lets a mixed vial keep for weeks instead of hours.
