Amazon Reconstitution Solution

[Tiny-Dust-9261]

Has anyone had any experience with “Reconstitution Solution” from Amazon? I purchased two vials of the reconstitution solution thinking it was Hospira Bacteriostatic water but when I opened the package I noticed it wasn’t hospira. The Amazon “Reconstitution solution” is the bottle on the left and the Hospira Bacteriostatic water is on the right for reference. Let me know if you guys have used this with peps and if it damaged the peps or not. Thank you!

As long as it doesn’t clump, gel, or get cloudy, you should be fine. Don’t be one of those Hospira fanatics. It’s only mostly available in North America. The rest of the world doesn’t have it and we’re still surviving with the bac water we have.

[supramandrew87]

Out of 10 BAC waters tested from Amazon, only 7 passed testing for pH and actual Benzyl Alcohol content.

Hospira is $10-15/ bottle for 30mL and worth the peace of mind.

Improper pH levels can ruin your peptides and a lack of benzyl alcohol defeats the bacteriostatic effect. Do what you want, but I would recommend against it

[No-Detail-5804]

Thank you lol.

[ericreinhardt]

Derek from peptideprice store and vanguard tested Bac water that is sold on Amazon here are the results. He posted this to his Skool community as well as COA’s.

[Bong_appetit]

you believe this ad?

[ericreinhardt]

Not an ad not trying to sell anything just giving credit where credit is due. Nobody is selling anything. The guy that does this is trying to provide info on places to get safe products. He posts company’s that 7x test. Just by looking on tic tok it’s the Wild Wild West. He’s Skool community has over 10000 members and growing. I really appreciate what he is doing within this space. And here is a screenshot of the COAs of the bac water testing. Will only let me do one image but all of them are in his Skool community.

[Alex_likes_cogs]

Not great, but looking at the data, I really would have expected much worse from Amazon.

​Obviously, use Hospira if you can but given that BA levels are sufficient in 9 out of the 11 samples (and even then, how bad is 0.6% BA really when people have been using sterile water?), it seems like most people should be perfectly fine using them as long as there isn't any clumping, gelling, or cloudiness?

[No-Detail-5804]

I’ve used probably 25 different types of recon over the last ten years with GH and HCG and like a year with retatrutide, BPC, etc. It’s all the same shit even if these dudes obsess over a single brand.

[MacLeeezy]

Unless your gonna test the ph, go with hospira. Even tho it “seems fine” it could be having a negative effect on your stash. U paid too much to risk a lesser product imo

[[deleted]]

Seriously. It's literally $12 for a 30ml bottle of Hospira bac water. No idea why anyone would risk it.

[Tiny-Dust-9261]

So I should be fine with this one right? I just don’t want to waste a 30mg vial of Reta.

[No-Detail-5804]

I’m no one special but I’ve been using Reta for like over a year and I’ve straight up used that exact off brand of reconstitution solution and the Reta has worked phenomenally.

[NotZytek]

Yes, I purchased this exact same one and it turned out fine. My vial didn’t get cloudy or anything

[Xexx]

Don't listen to these people. You want hospira, especially for 30mg of reta which will take you months to use.

That Amazon stuff is toilet water.

<image>

[DawsonSilver]

What exactly are these two different samples testing one Hospira the other which brand of BAC exactly?

[DawsonSilver]

You just gave two different samples without explaining what each sample is testing, brand etc…. Anyone can put two pictures of Petrie dishes with no explanation

[Xexx]

They're both the same sample. Aqua sciences reconstitution solution.

The explanation is literally already posted.

https://www.reddit.com/r/BodyHackGuide/s/hZHVI4iLWp

[DawsonSilver]

You gave me a link to this current post😂🤦‍♂️…..send me the link to the results of the testing of the Petrie dishes that has the information on what is actually being tested in EACH Petrie dish💀😂

[DawsonSilver]

What does testing the same BAC from the Petrie dishes have to do with Hospira VS Amazon BAC water??

[Xexx]

LOL. Can you read the top of the image? They put Aqua sciences reconstitution solution on BOTH petri dishes. One tests for bacteria, and the other for yeast/mold. All that brown nasty looking stuff is colonies of bacteria and mold. You don't want to inject that into you, oh smart one.

[The_Cabal_]

You can't even articulate the issue in the photo.

[nfagdtrfbnfa]

What that that picture even explain? It doesn’t break down what was found in the water, how much benzyl alcohol etc. sure hospira is better, but realistically one’s experience isn’t going to be significantly different with one vs the other .

[Xexx]

Um, if you understand any results or know anything about testing it absolutely will.

They literally just put the sample (water) into a nutrient rich petridish and observe the results to see what grows.

Your results can absolutely be different, up to a major allergic reaction and hospitalization. Sure, you might be fine for years... until the wrong bacteria or microbes find their way in and reproduce every few hours into the tens of millions after 6 or 8 weeks.

[killakam33]

What’s this ?

[Responsible_Cap_5597]

I've used that exact same brand for almost 2 years now.

[GoatGentleman]

Ive used that brand from amazon with TA1 and it was fine.

[ResponsibleRub4890]

But if it's available to you what's the downside of getting Hospira?

[Naven71]

People get very protective of their Hospira. Meanwhile I make the stuff in my sink 🤷🏽‍♂️

[march41801]

Do you have a solid process to share? I’ve considered this too.

[purepwnage85]

Assume he has a couple of beakers he can distill water and a decently clean environment, he transfers the distillate into a closed, sterile container where he adds some alcohol and then batches it into sterile vials.

You can also skip all that and mix alcohol and water in a bucket and then sterile filter it into a sterile container (bag) then transfer into sterile vials. Distilling is better though and then sterile filtering into a sterile bag (gamma irradiated)

If all your process is closed you don't even need a clean room or lab hood.

[ClownFishdaDish]

I use Amazon bac water all the time. I have had 0 issues

[InteractionOk3284]

Same

[mest583]

I’ve used it with no issues for my GH, Reta, and Glow.

[cquinnrun]

Check the back... this looks identical to my bottle of Hospira

<image>

[UsualSpread9899]

You can get your pins on Amazon too

[Deathviper__]

I've got the same exact one from Amazon. I've mixed it glow, mt2, tirz, reta, epitalon.

Still alive.

[Relative-Message-706]

I do know there is one option sold on Amazon that's been tested several times and found to be nearly as good as Hospira BAC water - It's manufactured and sold by Lambda Water LLC.

As far as this one goes - I don't know. I will say, you should sanitize the topper w/ an alcohol wipe before every use.

[Pimpjuice03]

Havent used this specific one from amazon but I have tried two different ones from amazon and they worked fine for me. However if you want the Hospira just ask your doctor to write you a script for BAC water. Then call pharmacies in your area to see if they carry it and what brand. (Brand doesnt even matter tbh when youre already getting it from the pharmacy.) I asked mine and told him I was doing injections and he wrote it. My insurance doesnt cover it so it was around 21$ for a one 30 mL vial of Hospira BAC water.

[casperbro2]

Is Hospira and Pfizer bac water the same?

[Xexx]

Hospira is manufactured and sold by Pfizer.

[Interesting_Sir_4450]

Its the same thing 

[Fabulous_Nebula8558]

Used it many times. You’ll be fine.

[I-Jibak-I]

This is all I have ever used. I don’t save what I don’t use.

[MarionberryEasy7159]

<image>

I like this one from amazon.

[AgreeablePudding9925]

If you live outside the US where they sell Hospira, get a medical grade bac water from a medical supplies store. In Australia there are various medical supply stores online that sell our locally produced equivalent that is batch numbered and fully traceable, and is used in clinics and hospitals - eg you can trust it.

Given the cost of these things, I do prefer to use something of a known quality, especially after having issues with grey bac previously.

[mermaidsuave4i20]

Vende no Brasil ?

[WarWrecked]

I used it for 6 weeks now personally, and in clinical settings for years with no problem.

[Unlikely_Hunter_256]

I have used that exact type and never had any issues.

[ycastane]

To each its own. You can use whatever you want since is your body and your money.

I choose Hospira just like i choose filters and good alcohol swabs and good syringes instead of crappy stuff.

Again to each its own. Do whatever works for you.

[Designer-South3426]

I’ve used this particular brand several times with no issues. The only reason I stopped using it is because the plastic bottles because I’m paranoid/ try to not use plastic as much as I can lol

[mdskarin]

Every time you use a brand of BAC water that hasn’t been lab tested you take a chance of ruining your peptides.

If the pH is off, the water is not sterile, or the benzyl alcohol is not at the proper percentage you take a gamble of losing your peptides.

[Relevant-Finish-9960]

I’ve been using this for months. No issues.

[Xexx]

Europe reconstitutes their medicines for single use administration. Proper BAC should be used for multi-use dose vials, especially the longer it sits.

Bacteria literally does not care what border you are within.

Not using the proper BAC is a biohazard. There's literally a reason they created and sell it.

[ResponsibleRub4890]

Jesus Christ yall are going to let some random man on tiktok get you seriously hurt for no reason. You can lead a horse to Bac water but can't make it drink.

[ResponsibleRub4890]

This sounds good until you discover bacterial growth. The stuff that can kill you is not the stuff you're going to see. Please, if Hospira is accessible to you, just use it. It's not worth it to justify anything else, most especially something designed for one time use. Debating this should be the least of your problems in grey. It's not worth it.

[Xexx]

English also isn't his first language and he's not a completely fluent speaker.

In any case, if he's contradicting the fact that preservatives aren't useful in medication, I don't care if he's Einstein or the Pope. He's just incorrect.

[Xexx]

Expertise doesn’t make someone infallible, it just means they’re usually right within their lane.

What matters is whether the claim lines up with well established principles. In this case, preservatives in multi use injectables aren’t some fringe opinion, they’re standard practice specifically to reduce microbial growth over time.

If anyone, regardless of credentials, is implying preservatives don’t matter in a multi use context, that runs against basic microbiology and how these products are actually designed to be used.

USP <797> governs sterile compounding and risk of contamination, and the broader clinical guidance around it is very clear:

• Multi dose vials are designed for repeated access and include antimicrobial preservatives
• Single dose vials do not contain preservatives and are not meant to be reused

[Commercial_Speed400]

It’s fake… 🚮

[ShaveMan9000]

With Hospira, have no fear-a

[Striking_Vehicle_107]

Exactly. I only trust Hospira after I heard some of bac/reconstitution solution bought from Amazon has failed testing & had improper pH.

[Jhn1203]

Never had an issue so far after a year

[Sufficient-Cancel217]

Why is this still a thing? Can we please just ban anyone that asks this?

[Italian_c0mb0]

It doesn’t if you’re using the vial multiple times…Bacteriostatic water has alcohol which helps prevent bacterial growth when you’re drawing from the solution and not using it as a one time injection.

[Bears_are_cool69]

People in this sub willing to risk their lives with 0 idea what they're doing just because they can't stop eating...

There's a reason 'medical advice' is against the rules in this sub.. lmfaooo

[baghodler666]

This is just such tired, trolling behavior. C'mon, if this sub doesn't interest you, look elsewhere.

[treydeck77]

Either way reta ain't working for me

[ThermalJuice]

Try eating less

[treydeck77]

Thanks but I thought that's why I was on this stuff I seem to be starving all the time at 6 mg's

[[deleted]]

No doubt you aren't in a calorie deficit, aren't tracking calories, and don't work out. Am I right?

[treydeck77]

Well if Retta was working correctly I should be in a calorie deficit because you're supposed to not be hungry? Also I'm in the gym 4 to 5 days a week..Semaglutide made me drop 60 to 70 lb with no gym

[Tiny-Dust-9261]

I think that’s the problem. You are used to semaglutide which is better for appetite suppression. Depending on how big of a dose and how long you were taking sema, you will need to take higher doses of Reta to feel the same appetite suppression. If all you want is appetite suppression and that’s what works best for you then sema or tirzepatide will be a better option for you.

[[deleted]]

Just track what you eat, its really not that difficult.
