Specifically IGF suspended in BA. I've heard some say just to keep refrigerated ...... I've heard others say to keep in the freezer until needed ....... I've heard some say freezer temps can fracture proteins reducing potency ...... and I've heard others say draw all your daily pins up at once and keep them all in the freezer pulling out only one days worth at a time. Any comments / experiences?

fridge or freezer is fine bro either way, If you search all threads on here about this u will find that some guys who ad to hide it from their wives even had good results keeping the shit in their sock drawer,lol, not recomended ofcourse but the fridge will do fine bro

Sometimes it is reconstituted in bacteriostatic water. I have also heard of it in acetic acid. I have also read somewhere that BA can be damaging to the IGF, although I don't remember if it said why.

BW should only be used and mixed directly prior to the shot not premixed for any length of time and I have also read alot of stuff on BA being the best to reconstitute it with and also read where it may degrade it, however BA has been used mainly by most companys in the past year with no problems at all,

Yea, I don't really know - just trying to regurg what I had read over months back. I think you are correct about the BW, I must have remembered that wrong. As far as I know, BA is what is used most often. How do those compare when it comes to soreness say to test prop in BA? Those hurt like a bitch for days!! I assume these are significantly less due to the very small volume alone, but haven't heard anyone comment on it. I was wondering as although they are much smaller volumes, they are also dosed 4 times as often.

You don't get that after soreness and tightness for days though? With the test prop, I don't remember it stinging much on the way in .......... but a few hours later and for the next couple days - DAAAAAAMN!

Yea Pressser, BW, and acetic acid.I know BW can't be used for longer periods of time, but for the smaller vials or kits.I've read some post where a couple of guys reconstituted, and then froze everything, and messed it all up.BA is the most recognized way to go because of the longer term storage, but I think that the manufacturers of the "kits" use BW or acetic acid, but of course you use these almost right away.There still seems to be some debate on the best vehicle, and if BA does degrade after some time, but it's along time.At least this is what I gathered before I ever tried it.I prefer the BA, with BW ( BW only in the pin), its the cheapest, and easiest way to go...IGF is great stuff, especially for the "older" guys, it turns back the clock.

i was reading through proud13's posts on reconstituting igf-1 and he was really against using ba.

I am not sure but I think he thinks a little differently now(not sure though)..I did alot of PMing Proud when i first got interested in it.If anyone knows, he would though.
