- Supports multiple withdrawals from a single vial.
- Maintains sterility for up to 28 days after opening.
What is Bacteriostatic Water?
Bacteriostatic Water is a sterile water solution containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol, supplied in a vial from Dragon Pharma. Used primarily for reconstituting lyophilized peptides and other injectable compounds, it prevents bacterial contamination, allowing safe storage and multiple uses. It has no pharmacological activity, no hepatotoxicity, and no hormonal effects, making it a safe diluent for injections.
Mechanism of Action Bacteriostatic Water
Bacteriostatic Water contains 0.9% benzyl alcohol, which inhibits bacterial growth, ensuring the solution remains sterile for up to 28 days after first use when stored properly. It serves as a solvent to dissolve peptides or medications into a liquid form suitable for subcutaneous or intramuscular injections. It does not interact with physiological systems, acting solely as a vehicle for administration.
How It Works & Key Benefits
Bacteriostatic Water is essential for preparing injectable peptides and medications, ensuring sterility and safety during reconstitution and administration.
- Provides a sterile medium for dissolving peptides.
- Prevents bacterial contamination for safe injections.
- Allows multiple vial withdrawals over 28 days.
- Ensures accurate dosing with proper reconstitution.
- Compatible with peptides like BPC-157, TB 500, and others.
- Supports safe storage when refrigerated.
Who It's For & Product Specifications
Best for bodybuilders, athletes, and researchers reconstituting peptides or injectable medications; suitable for all users with proper injection knowledge. Not for direct consumption or use in those with benzyl alcohol allergies.

How to Use
- Dosage: Use 1-2 ml per vial of peptide (e.g., 5 mg peptide reconstituted with 2 ml for 2.5 mg/ml concentration).
- Frequency: As needed for reconstitution; typically single use per preparation.
- Storage: Refrigerate at 2-8°C; discard after 28 days or if cloudy.
- Preparation/Monitoring tips: Use sterile insulin syringes to draw and inject into peptide vial; swirl gently to mix, avoid shaking; use within 28 days; check for clarity before use.
- Results timeline: Immediate utility for preparing injectable solutions.
- PCT timing: Not applicable; used as needed for peptide administration.
Popular Uses
BPC-157: Reconstitutes for tissue repair injections.
TB 500: Prepares for recovery and healing protocols.
CJC-1295: Dilutes for GH-releasing injections.
Sermorelin: Supports reconstitution for GH enhancement.
Comparisons & Alternatives
Bacteriostatic Water vs Sterile Water: Bacteriostatic Water contains benzyl alcohol for multi-use sterility; Sterile Water is single-use without preservatives.
Bacteriostatic Water vs Normal Saline: Bacteriostatic Water is preferred for peptides due to benzyl alcohol; Normal Saline (0.9% NaCl) is better for IV fluids.
Side Effects & Risk Management
- Dermatologic: Rare benzyl alcohol sensitivity (redness, irritation)—discontinue if allergic reaction occurs.
- Systemic: None when used as directed; avoid contamination.
- Endocrine: None; no hormonal effects.
- Hepatic: None; no liver impact.
- Contamination: Risk if improper technique—use sterile equipment, discard if cloudy.
Follow sterile procedures and consult professionals where lawful to ensure safe use.
