Help with reconstituting IGF-1 Long R3

[audi0xpl0de]

I've read so many different ways to reconstitute IGF-1 Long R3 that I'm starting to get confused. I've heard use white vinegar and water. The most common way I've heard is using Acetic Acid and Bacteriostatic Water. Which is most effective? I have 3 1ml of IGF-1 but I'm a little confused on how to reconstitute it

The methods you are speaking of are the same. If you have access to Acetic Acid, then use that at 0.6% concentration to acheive the 100mM that the peptide likes.

Distilled White Vinegar is ~5% Acetic Acid ... the reason you would use this instead would be the absence of a place to get sterile Acetic Acid to begin with.

Both are going to give you an end product of 100mM Acetic Acid solution ... exactly what your LR3 IGF-1 peptide needs to thrive.

so do you dilute the vinegar to bring the acetic acid % down?

after reconstitution how long is the igf stable for with this solution, because I have some igf powder and my source reckon if I mix with water for injection it's only good for 24 hours, does the vinegar solution give it a longer life. Thanks

Ok, thanks. So I use 1ml or 1cc of the AA to reconstitute the vial of 1mg IGF? Then how much BW do I withdraw once I have the mcg I want for injection?

Redbaron where are you when we need you mate.

yes i agree w/ baron w/ AA it will last last for 2-3 months min. and what has been handed down to me is get sterile BW and pull the IGF dose 30-60mcg and then pull the BW after and you want .2cc of BW. hope this helps, also you can do split injections morn and night?? up to you!

If you reconstituite your LR3 IGF-1 in 100mM Acetic Acid, it certainly will be stable longer ... for months if not more.

oh mate you are a ****en legend champ.
BTW I went shopping today and I looked for distilled white vinegar, where do you get it from?
I was only able to find normal white wine vinegar with 6% acidity would that do. Cheers

What if the instructions from the lab indicate using the water they supply? I saw the other suggestions, and I can tell that RB is extremely knowledgeable, but I hate varying from "OEM" instructions.

some companies set you up w/ a kit and thats ok too! save time and money, if your IGF is already mixed then the extra vial is probobly BW. so pull desired amount of IGF and then pull .2cc of BW then stick it!!
