BAC vs Sterile Water for Peptides

BAC vs Sterile Water for Peptides

Share Article:

At first glance, this post may seem boring and uninteresting. And the reality is that it probably is. But you must understand the difference between these two types of water if you want to get the most out of using peptides like BPC-157, Melanotan-II, CJC-1295, HCG or even HGH!

The Difference Between BAC Water & Sterile Water

The difference between BAC water and sterile water is very simple:

  • Sterile water (also known as “Water for Injection”) is just high quality, distilled, uncontaminated water that can be injected into the human body without causing any kinds of infections.
  • BAC (Bacteriostatic) water is sterile water with a 0.9% content of Benzyl Alcohol. The presence of alcohol in BAC water allows it to prevent bacteria buildup.

This is important because the bacteria found in air will degrade a peptide, which is why reconstituting a peptide with sterile water only makes sense if you intend on using the whole content of the vial within a day or two.

After 2-3 days, enough bacteria will have entered the vial to start to degrade the peptide, and a few days later it will be virtually useless (even if it has been stored in a fridge).

Peptides reconstituted in BAC water, however, can last for up to 2 weeks before starting to degrade and lose potency. After 4 weeks, the peptide will be pretty much useless (assuming it has been stored in a fridge).

Biggest Mistake People Make

This is important because a lot of people think their 10,000iu HCG vial (or any other peptide for that matter) will last them 10 weeks if they pin 500iu twice a week, when the reality is they will only be able to take advantage of roughly 40% of that vial before it degrades almost completely.

Take this into account when using peptides, or you will continue to pin for no reason at all, and you will stop seeing the benefits you were expecting.
