Supplies Checklist

Required to reconstitute (dissolve) lyophilized peptide powder. Do NOT use regular sterile water — BAC water contains 0.9% benzyl alcohol which prevents bacterial growth and extends vial life to 28 days after opening.

$8-12 for 30ml

The standard for SubQ peptide injections. Use 29-31 gauge, 0.5 inch needle for subcutaneous injections. The fine needle makes injections nearly painless. Buy a box of 100 — they're inexpensive and you use one per injection.

$15-20 for 100 count

Wipe the rubber stopper on your vial and your injection site before every use. Non-negotiable for sterile technique. Individually wrapped swabs are most convenient.

$5-8 for 200 count

Required for safe disposal of used needles. Never throw syringes in regular trash. 1-quart size is enough for most people. Check your local pharmacy — many accept sharps for free disposal.

$5-10

Optional but recommended. Use a larger gauge needle to draw water into your syringe and inject it into the vial, then swap to your fine insulin needle for injection. Prevents dulling your injection needle. Some people skip this and just use the insulin needle throughout.

$10-15 for 100 count

Apply gentle pressure after injection if there's any minor bleeding. Small 2x2 inch pads are ideal.

$5-8

Reconstituted peptides must be kept at 2-8°C (36-46°F). Lyophilized (powder) peptides are stable at room temp for weeks but last much longer refrigerated or frozen. A dedicated mini fridge keeps peptides away from regular food and maintains consistent temperature.

$30-60

Store lyophilized peptide vials in sealed bags in your freezer for long-term storage (months to years). Label with compound name and date received.

$4-6

Get baseline bloodwork before starting any SARM or steroid. At minimum: testosterone (total and free), LH, FSH, CBC, and metabolic panel. These services let you order your own labs without a doctor.

$50-150 for full panel

A quick way to check your testosterone levels before and during a cycle. Less comprehensive than a full bloodwork panel but convenient for monitoring.

$30-50

Essential for staying consistent with oral compounds. A 7-day organizer makes it impossible to forget a dose or accidentally double-dose.

$8-15

Required if you're measuring powder compounds or bulk supplements by weight. A standard kitchen scale isn't precise enough — you need milligram precision.

$20-40
