How to Reconstitute Sermorelin: A Step-by-Step Guide
People are asking...
Do you need a large barrel needle to reconstitute peptides, or would poking drawing and adding BAC water to the peptide vial over and over be ok?...

Sermorelin is a synthetic peptide that stimulates the body’s natural production of growth hormone. It is commonly used as part of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for individuals looking to support healthy aging, improve muscle mass, and enhance overall well-being. However, because sermorelin typically comes in a lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder form, it must be properly reconstituted with bacteriostatic water before use. In this article, we’ll walk through the process of reconstituting sermorelin safely and effectively.
What You Need
Before starting the reconstitution process, make sure you have the following supplies:

A vial of lyophilized sermorelin
Bacteriostatic water (preservative-containing sterile water)
A sterile syringe (usually 1mL to 3mL)
A sterile needle (typically 18- to 22-gauge for drawing and a smaller gauge for injecting)
Alcohol prep pads
Step-by-Step Reconstitution Instructions
1. Sanitize Your Work Area
Ensure you are working in a clean environment to minimize contamination. Wash your hands thoroughly and wipe down your work surface with an alcohol prep pad.
2. Prepare the Bacteriostatic Water
Remove the cap from the bacteriostatic water vial and wipe the rubber stopper with an alcohol prep pad. This helps to maintain sterility.
3. Draw the Bacteriostatic Water
Using a sterile syringe with a large-gauge needle, draw the recommended amount of bacteriostatic water. The volume needed varies depending on your prescribed concentration, but a common ratio is 1mL to 2mL of bacteriostatic water per vial of sermorelin.
4. Inject the Water into the Sermorelin Vial
Wipe the top of the sermorelin vial with an alcohol prep pad. Slowly inject the bacteriostatic water into the vial by aiming the needle against the inside wall of the vial. This prevents the powder from foaming or degrading.
5. Gently Mix the Solution
Do not shake the vial. Instead, gently swirl it to help the powder dissolve completely. The solution should be clear, without visible particles.
6. Store the Reconstituted Sermorelin
Once mixed, the sermorelin solution should be stored in the refrigerator (between 36°F and 46°F). It typically remains stable for about 10–14 days, but always refer to your provider’s guidance for the exact duration.
Administering Reconstituted Sermorelin
After reconstitution, sermorelin is commonly administered via subcutaneous injection. Your healthcare provider will provide specific dosing instructions and injection site recommendations. Always use a fresh syringe and needle for each injection, and properly dispose of used needles in a sharps container.
Final Thoughts
Reconstituting sermorelin correctly ensures that you receive its full therapeutic benefits while maintaining safety and effectiveness. If you have any questions about sermorelin therapy, including dosing or administration, consult a healthcare professional.
