General Research Guidelines
• Always use bacteriostatic water for reconstitution
• Add water slowly down the side of the vial, never directly onto the peptide
• Gently swirl (do not shake) to dissolve
• Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes if not fully dissolved
• Use our dosage calculator for precise measurements
• Lyophilized (powder): Store at -20°C or 2-8°C
• Reconstituted: Store at 2-8°C (refrigerator)
• Protect from light and heat
• Use reconstituted peptides within 30 days
• Never freeze reconstituted peptides
• "Fasted" means 3+ hours after last meal
• Wait 20-30 minutes after injection before eating (for GH peptides)
• "Before bed" means 2+ hours after last meal
• Rotate injection sites to prevent lipodystrophy
• Consistency in timing optimizes results
• Always start with lower end of dosing range
• Monitor for adverse reactions
• Maintain detailed research logs
• Cycle peptides as recommended (avoid continuous year-round use)
• Consult research literature for contraindications
