Insulin syringes (U-100) are standard for subcutaneous peptide injections. 29–31 gauge, 0.5–1mL capacity.

• Insulin Syringes (U-100)AmazonStandard for SubQ — 31G, 1mL
• Reconstitution NeedlesAmazon18–21G large bore — for drawing BAC water into peptide vials

Bacteriostatic water (BAC water) is the standard diluent for peptide reconstitution. Contains 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative, allowing multi-use vials.

• Lambda BAC WaterPartnerPharmaceutical-grade BAC water for injection
• Hospira BAC Water (via Pokai Research)PartnerMulti-use vials — standard reconstitution diluent

Sterile technique is critical. Swab vial tops and injection sites with 70% isopropyl alcohol and allow to air dry before use.

• Curad Alcohol Prep PadsAmazonPre-saturated 70% IPA — wipe and let dry before injection
• Nitrile Prep GlovesAmazonPowder-free, non-sterile — for reconstitution and injection prep
• Individually Wrapped Alcohol WipesAmazonTravel-friendly single-use packets

Accurate body composition tracking and dose logging help identify what's working and catch trends across research protocols.

Proper sharps disposal is legally required in most jurisdictions. Never dispose of needles in regular household trash.

• Sharps Container 1 Qt (3-Pack)AmazonCompact — good for home and travel use
• Oakridge Sharps 5 Qt (2-Pack)AmazonLarger capacity for extended protocols

Most lyophilized peptides are stable at room temperature before reconstitution. After reconstitution, refrigerate at 2–8°C.
