How To Mix Your Peptides

Please note: You will receive either reconstitution syringes or insulin syringes to complete the reconstitution steps.

• Disinfect the tops of both vials (peptide & bacteriostatic water) with alcohol swabs.

• Draw air into the syringe equal to the amount of bacteriostatic water you’ll use. Inject this air into the water vial (this helps avoid pressure build-up).

• Withdraw the prescribed amount of bacteriostatic water.

• Inject bacteriostatic water slowly into the peptide vial, letting it run down the inside of the vial—avoid shaking.

• Gently swirl the vial (do not shake) until the powder fully dissolves.

• Label the vial with the date. Reconstituted peptides are stable up to 90 days.

Storage Instructions

• Store reconstituted peptides in the refrigerator.

• Keep reconstituted peptides away from direct light and do not freeze.

• Ensure the vial is upright and securely sealed.

• Shelf life: Most peptides are stable for up to 90 days after reconstitution—check your Medical Provider’s guidance.

Dosage & Injection Timing

• Dosage and injection timing may vary based on individual needs and treatment goals.

• Follow your Medical Provider's recommendations to ensure safe and effective use.

How to Inject Peptides

• Choose your injection site (usually the belly fat around the navel or outer thigh).

• Clean the injection site area and vial top with alcohol swabs.

• Draw your dose carefully using the syringe (refer to instructed dosage from Medical Provider)

• Pinch the skin, insert the needle at a 90° angle, and inject slowly.

• Dispose of the needle safely in your sharps container.

Safe Disposal

Sharps Container Use

• Always place used needles directly into an FDA-cleared sharps disposal container—never in the trash or recycling.

• These containers are puncture-resistant and leak-proof with a secure lid.

• Available at pharmacies, medical supply stores, or online.

Why It Matters

• Disposal can injure others and spread serious infections like HBV, HCV, and HIV.

Disposing Full Containers

• Do not throw full sharps containers in household trash.

• Disposal methods vary by location—find approved drop-off or mail-back programs near you.
