How to Reconstitute Your Peptide

Everything you need to know before your first injection

What You Need

Peptide Vial

Lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder from Matrix

Bacteriostatic Water (BAC)

Sterile water with 0.9% benzyl alcohol preservative

Insulin Syringes

1 mL (100 unit) with 29–31 gauge needle

Alcohol Swabs

70% isopropyl for vial tops and injection site

Why Bacteriostatic Water?

BAC water contains a preservative (benzyl alcohol) that prevents bacterial growth, allowing your reconstituted peptide to last 30–90 days refrigerated. Never use plain sterile water — it has no preservative and must be used within 24 hours.

Step-by-Step Reconstitution

Wash your hands thoroughly. Work on a clean surface. Have all supplies ready.
Swab both vial tops — the peptide vial and the BAC water vial — with alcohol. Let dry for 10 seconds.
Draw BAC water into the syringe. Pull back the plunger slowly to the desired volume (see reconstitution math below).
Insert the needle into the peptide vial at an angle. Aim the stream at the glass wall — never squirt directly onto the powder. Let the water trickle down the side gently.
Do NOT shake. Gently swirl or roll the vial between your palms until fully dissolved. The solution should be clear — if cloudy, continue gently swirling.
Label the vial with: compound name, reconstitution date, concentration (mcg per unit), and your initials.
Store refrigerated (36–46°F / 2–8°C). Good for 30–90 days. Never freeze reconstituted peptide.

Critical

Never shake the vial — peptides are fragile proteins. Aggressive agitation denatures the compound and destroys its bioactivity. Gentle swirling only.

Visual Reconstitution Guide

Follow these 5 steps every time you reconstitute a new vial. Each step includes an animated illustration.

Key Reminders

Aim at the glass wall when adding water — never squirt onto the powder. Gently roll between palms — never shake. Label your vial with compound name, date, and concentration (mcg/unit).

Video Tutorial

Watch the full reconstitution walkthrough:

Click to play — covers supplies, mixing technique, dosing math, and injection.

Reconstitution Math

Every reconstituted vial has a concentration — how many micrograms (mcg) are in each unit on your insulin syringe. The math is simple:

Peptide mg × 1,000 ÷ BAC water units = mcg per unit

1 mL insulin syringe = 100 units | 1 mg = 1,000 mcg

Quick Reference Examples

BPC-157 • 5 mg vial

Add 2 mL BAC water (200 units)

5,000 mcg ÷ 200 units

= 25 mcg per unit

250 mcg dose = 10 units

Ipamorelin • 5 mg vial

Add 2 mL BAC water (200 units)

5,000 mcg ÷ 200 units

= 25 mcg per unit

200 mcg dose = 8 units

Semaglutide • 5 mg vial

Add 2 mL BAC water (200 units)

5,000 mcg ÷ 200 units

= 25 mcg per unit

250 mcg dose = 10 units

GHK-Cu • 50 mg vial

Add 5 mL BAC water (500 units)

50,000 mcg ÷ 500 units

= 100 mcg per unit

2 mg dose = 20 units

Simple Rule of Thumb

Adding 2 mL of BAC water to a 5 mg vial always gives you 25 mcg per unit. This is the most common setup and makes dosing math easy. For a 10 mg vial with 2 mL, you get 50 mcg per unit.

How to Inject (Subcutaneous)

Swab the vial top with alcohol. Draw your calculated dose by pulling the plunger to the correct unit mark.
Choose an injection site: lower abdomen (2 inches from navel), upper thigh, or back of upper arm. Rotate sites daily.
Swab the injection site with alcohol. Let dry completely.
Pinch a fold of skin and insert the needle at a 45–90° angle. Push the plunger steadily — don't rush.
Hold for 5 seconds after fully depressed, then withdraw. Gentle pressure with alcohol swab if needed. Don't rub.

Timing Matters

Most GH peptides (Ipamorelin, CJC-1295, GHRP-6, Sermorelin) should be taken on an empty stomach — at least 30 minutes before eating or 2 hours after. Food (especially fats and carbs) blunts the GH pulse. Metabolic peptides (Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, Retatrutide) can be taken any time — once weekly.
