Shaking reconstituted peptides and filtering best practices

Got it, but when the vial comes straight from the fridge and is still cold I see nothing, yet once it warms up to room temperature those bits appear.

The reta was mixed yesterday and the second ghkcu last week.

Might just be my own view and not advice, but I would not inject that and would get rid of it.

Right now I am still using the second ghkcu mix and see the same bits. I also got hcg from the same seller here and mixed it with the same bac water yet nothing floats in that one.

That has not happened to me either, though I would have suggested trying to filter it first and then checking how it looks afterward. I would still be cautious about injecting even if it clears up after filtering, and if you go ahead anyway keep the dose small.

The second vial also stays crystal clear when left alone with the other bac water. After shaking I notice what could be tiny bits or maybe just tiny air bubbles, hard to tell now. I picked up some PTFE filters but folks in the STG group say those are the wrong kind.

I use the PES style 0.22 micron 13 mm luer lock ones and most others here seem to use the same, but have a look yourself and maybe they really are just air bubbles.

Thanks, but what is the way to check the pH of the bac water?

How long has it been since you mixed it? My own GLOW mix looks similar at first but clears completely after about ten minutes.

That brand is not available where I live in Europe.

Yes I mix two vials at once for my wife and myself and go through quite a few supplies.

Not to compare unrelated things but I have heard we should avoid shaking the peptides because they are sensitive to that and to light. Not trying to argue here at all.

That is a myth at least for aGLP-1 types. A light tap with a finger will not harm them. The vials are not meant for shaking and I would not go as far as using a sonicator because of the foam that forms from pressure changes.

Lots of folks have said shaking works fine. Check out the YouTube video from the guy who runs that testing lab.

No problems with those. Half inch needles are too short for me. I keep some 1 ml luer lock syringes with half inch needles just for flushing filters and using as vents. Ordered some longer 23 gauge one inch luer lock needles. All my mixing syringes and needles are the cheap bulk ones, but the actual injection ones are the better brands. Those two brands are almost the same in sharpness.

Bacteria and metals.

5.5 to 7.

Must've meant growing up around retirees then!

True, but Florida looked nothing like it does now back then. I used to spend lots of time at Madeira Bch when we were living there. These days I'm over in Sebring. Which part of this crowded state are you in?

New Smyrna Beach, just south of Daytona.

I worked as a firefighter in Orlando before retiring ten years back.

My oldest is still doing that job, though he's 42 now. Not so little anymore, he's on TRT and lifts weights. He's a lieutenant, paramedic, trainer, RN, on the dive team, and a boat captain. Sharp guy. We head over to that coast every year, but a bit farther north around St Augustine. Really like it there.

That's awesome.
