Possibly, but I have not come across any testing on that.
Hi, could anyone help out? If I get peptides from overseas and also get BAC water, would it be a problem if the water freezes at -17 degrees?
BAC water frozen
Summary
Does freezing damage BAC water for peptide use?
Users discuss whether BAC water remains usable after freezing at around -17°C. Storage instructions recommend controlled room temperature, and some avoid frozen vials to be safe. Others report keeping it frozen without visible issues, noting only rare mechanical risks like stopper damage. Opinions differ on risk tolerance, with some discarding frozen stock and others continuing to use it.
What this discussion establishes- Storage labels specify 20–25°C range
- Freezing might cause vial damage if on its side
- Some keep cases frozen for convenience with no problems observed
- No formal testing cited on post-thaw safety
- Individual decisions range from discarding to continued use
Whether frozen BAC water is safe to use or should be discarded
Still openLack of definitive testing on frozen-then-thawed BAC water effects

Thanks for the info. I was going to order NAD+ and similar along with BAC water, but I will hold off until the weather warms up. Appreciate the help.
Storage instructions for this type of BAC water say to keep it at 20 to 25°C (68 to 77°F) under controlled room temperature. So I would not use it if the temperature goes below or above that.
I've looked into this extensively, though views differ along with how much risk people accept. The only real issue I've encountered involves physical harm to the container due to cold. When placed horizontally in the freezer, the seal might fail. Probably uncommon, and no one has checked it. Over the past twelve months I've stored several boxes in my special cold storage for these items, mostly since I prefer having everything together. Some of my collection comes in glass containers, and they appear okay as well. These compounds handle conditions better than what the makers recommend for temperature and shelf life.
I accidentally froze a few bottles of that brand a while back. After checking with AI and a few people here I decided to throw them out. That said there are different views on the topic. Many will say it is fine. For me I lost a bit of money but gained some peace of mind.
