how to mix igf powder

hi,

if you would have 5mg of IGF powder (not mixed with anything) what can i use to mix it with when i want to mix everything and cap it in vials so i can store it when it is diluted? can i mix it with BA? and how to mix?

thanks

yeah ba is fine bro, and just add 5ml of ba to your 5mg and you will have 5l at 1mg per ml(1,000mcgs per ml of igf)

thanks presser. do you know how long i can store the igf in the BA? how long does it stay ok?

your much better of storing it in acetic acid solution. Not to knock Press Ba will work but it slowly degrades over time with ba plus with ba the nature of the peptide is temp dependend thats why its kept cold . you can make this from vinegar (AA) and distiled water, trust me it works well. I forget exactly how I made it, it is a real dilute solution, do some diggging and see what N (strenght) they recommend and I will tell you how to make it, I beleive it is 10N but not sure, too early in the morning and the brain ain't working quick enough. In AA its an acidic env and the peptide will not unwind even at room temps so it is much more stable and therefore can be stored longer

88 ml distilled water to 12 ml of white vinegar makes total of 100 ml at 12 ppm i read it on another board

I'm not sure I buy that but ok. Just remember that your water is to be distilled and bacteriosidal so make it .5-1%ba. for sterile sake, the filter with the vinegar addition BEFORE you add to the powder. I can' t check from this comp but give me some time and I'll tell you the normality your shotting for and how to get there.

If it is chinese IGF, you had damn well better use AA, or you will ruin it. I used BA on a vial and it turned into a weird gel/liquid. I injected it for a few days in my arms and they were swollen and bruised from my shoulder to the elbow (looked freakin' horrible). Couldn't do shit for over a week. Two weeks later, they are still bruised and sore.

Then I mixed another vial with AA and it immediately went into this perfectly clear solution and injected nice and smooth.

hi guys thanks for help. indeed this is chinese IGF.
so to make thinks clear i do the following:
1. i mix 88 ml distilled water with 0,5-1% BA and filter it to a bacterial filter to make bacteriostatic water,
2. i put 12 ml of white vinegar into this solution which makes total of 100 ml at 12 ppm.
3. i mix 1ml of this solution into 1mg of my IGF powder

and now i can shoot and store it for a couple of monthes??

greetz and thanks

here is the article on reconstituting igf , i found it on another board .


Reconstituting IGF - Using Distilled White Vinegar for Acetic Acid

I began using this method many months ago ... mainly out of impatience. I was out of Benzyl Alcohol, and while I had access to HCl, it wasn't accessible when I wanted to begin my Long R3 IGF-1 cycle. I decided to use plain ol' grocery store Distilled White Vinegar. I used the following, which has worked out really well for me....and the feedback I have had from others that I have shared it with has been positive so far. So here it is for anyone that is interested:

The calculation:
Distilled white vinegar is supposed to be standardized to ~5% acetic acid, which would make it 850mM. To get it to the recommended 100mM, you'd want 11.76% white vinegar (100mM/850mM = 11.76%). Since it would be almost impossible to draw out 11.76IU's, I round this to 12, which is certainly going to be close to our desired 100mM.

The filtering process:
I use off the shelf grocery store distilled white vinegar. In order to ensure safety, I filter it using .20u whatman filters. Here is the step by step for those that may not be familiar with filtering using whatmans. What you will want to have on hand before starting out is some sterile vials, some .20u whatman filters, some syringes and needles (I use a 10cc syringe, and .23 gauge 1" needles), and some alcohol swabs.

(1) First draw up about 10cc of the distilled white vinegar
(2) screw on the .20u whatman to the 10cc syringe (or whatever size you use)
(3) screw on a .23 gauge needle (or whatever size you decide to use)
(4) take your sterile vial, swab the top with alcohol, insert a needle for venting.
(5) Insert your syringe/whatman/needle apparatus and slowly push the 10cc's into the sterile vial.

Now you have safe vinegar to use for your reconstituting.

ALTERNATE METHOD - Alternately, you could simply mix your water and distilled white vinegar before filtering using about 7.5 parts of water per 1 part of distilled white vinegar. After mixing these together in this ratio, run the mixture through your .20u whatman as above. You will end up with a vial of dilutent this way that has the proper PH for use with your IGF-1.

Reconstituting:

How much water/vinegar you reconstitute with is going to somewhat depend on which LR3 IGF-1 you are using. Igtropin is shipped in 100mcg vials, which I usually reconstitute at 1ml(cc) per 100mcg vial (which will make the 10 mark on your insulin syringe = 10 mcgs). The gropep based IGF-1's are primarily shipped in 1mg vials, and I usually use 5ml for these (which will make the 10 mark on your insulin syringe = 20mcgs).
At any rate, what I do is:

(1) take an alcohol swab and swab the tops of my water, vinegar solution, and IGF-1 vials
(2) take a syringe with a 23 gauge, 1" needle and draw out .12 cc's of vinegar for the 100mcg vials or .60 cc's for the 1mg vials.
(3) next I take this syringe and draw out the water - .88cc's for 100mcg, 4.4cc's for the 1mg.

FOR ALTERNATE METHOD in lieu of steps (2) and (3) - Just draw out the desired amount of dilutent from your pre-mixed vial of
vinegar / water.

(4) next i poke the needle into the LR3 IGF-1 vial and dribble this solution down the side of the vial, avoid any direct spray on the lyophilized powder until all of the dilutent is in the vial
(5) using a gentle swirling motion, I reconstitute the powder.
(6) I stick the vial in the fridge and it is now ready for use.

Well, I think that about sums it up. Hope this helps anyone who may have been wondering about using vinegar to reconstitute. I would advise that if you end up using Igtropin, you seriously consider using this vinegar method. Igtropin and other dilutents such as BA do not get along well together at all.

so presser if i have some generic igf powder in vials from china source(no label), is it not safe to use BA to dilute and only use AA instead? i dont want to ruin it and some say china igf you cant use BA. have you ever had that problem?
