Bac Water

Description

Bacteriostatic Water (commonly called Bac Water) is a sterile, non-pyrogenic water for injection containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a bacteriostatic preservative. It is specifically formulated to dilute or reconstitute medications intended for multiple-dose use, such as peptides (e.g., BPC-157, TB-500, CJC-1295, Ipamorelin, Sermorelin, HCG, Tesamorelin, Thymosin Alpha-1), growth hormone (hGH), and other injectable compounds. The benzyl alcohol inhibits the growth of most bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms, making Bac Water suitable for repeated needle insertions into the same vial over an extended period (typically up to 28 days after first puncture, per USP guidelines and manufacturer recommendations). Unlike sterile water for injection (which contains no preservative and is intended for single-use only), Bac Water allows safe multi-dose access, reducing waste and cost while maintaining sterility when proper aseptic technique is followed. In peptide and hormone research or wellness protocols, Bac Water is the preferred diluent for reconstituting lyophilized powders—ensuring accurate dosing, stability of the reconstituted solution, and minimal risk of contamination during repeated withdrawals. It is supplied in 10 mL, 20 mL, or 30 mL multi-dose vials with rubber stoppers designed for safe needle punctures. Always use sterile syringes, alcohol swabs for vial tops and injection sites, and follow proper storage (refrigerate reconstituted peptides; keep unopened Bac Water at room temperature or as labeled). While extremely safe when used correctly, avoid injecting Bac Water alone (it is not for direct intravenous use without medication) and discard any vial if cloudiness, particles, or unusual odor develops. Bac Water is not intended for consumption, inhalation, or use in non-injectable applications. It is a prescription item in many regions (though widely available through pharmacies and medical suppliers) and should be sourced from reputable, regulated suppliers to guarantee sterility and proper benzyl alcohol concentration. Always consult a healthcare provider or pharmacist for guidance on reconstitution volumes, storage duration, and safe handling—especially when preparing peptides or hormones for injection. Proper use of Bacteriostatic Water is critical for maintaining the integrity, potency, and safety of reconstituted injectables.
