Peptide Research Database
Research-backed information on peptides — dosage, half-life, risks, and the latest peer-reviewed studies from PubMed.
Acetic Acid
A dilute sterile acetic acid solution (typically 0.6%) used to reconstitute certain peptides that are poorly soluble in bacteriostatic water at neutral pH. Required specifically for peptides with low isoelectric points or hydrophobic aggregation tendencies at neutral pH. Only used when the peptide manufacturer specifically recommends acetic acid reconstitution — most peptides should use bacteriostatic water instead.
Bacteriostatic Water
Sterile water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a bacteriostatic preservative. The standard reconstitution solution for lyophilized (freeze-dried) peptides. The benzyl alcohol prevents bacterial growth in the vial, allowing safe multi-dose use over multiple days. An essential supply for anyone using injectable peptides rather than a therapeutic agent itself.
