I posted this over in the paid community, but want to make sure everyone over here understands this! If you've ever used AOD, ARA, or a few others, you may have noticed gelling or clumping. There are a few peptides where you may need a solvent other than BAC in order to get them to reconstitute properly. These liquids are NOT interchangeable with each other. They will need one or the other. Acetic Acid: This has a LOWER pH number. The pH of the solution is around 2.75-3. Compounds that may need this: AOD-9604 (almost always), HGH Frag 176-191 (this is basically AOD by the way), Kisspeptin (sometimes, not always). Tesamorelin, CJC-1295, Sermorelin should NOT need this if you're using Hospira branded BAC water. Phosphate Buffered Saline or Sodium Bicarbonate Solution: These have a HIGHER pH number. Depending on which one, the pH is around 7-8. Compounds that may need this: ARA-290 (almost always), Thymosin Alpha-1 (sometimes). If you use the reconstitution cheat sheets, I tell you the appropriate solutions to use. I have a vendor working on getting the sodium bicarbonate solution in stock currently. I feel like it's important for you to understand the pH differences to understand that you can't use AA for a PBS-requiring compound and vice versa or it will take the pH in the wrong direction and probably make things worse.

Hey everyone! I like to ask this question periodically as it helps me direct my focus. What is the most confusing thing to you right now? Where are you getting stuck? Let me know below!
