Preparation
Guide

Peptide nasal spray reconstitution instructions. Follow each step precisely for optimal results.

Kit contents verification

Before starting, ensure you have all components:

  • 1 × 10mg Semax + 10mg Selank vial (lyophilized powder)
  • 1 × 10ml Bacteriostatic Water vial
  • 1 × 10ml Empty nasal spray bottle
  • 1 × 5ml Syringe
  • 1 × Blunt fill needle
  • Alcohol prep pads (not included — obtain separately)

Important safety notes

  • Critical: Use bacteriostatic water only — it contains 0.9% benzyl alcohol preservative that prevents bacterial growth in multi-use nasal sprays.
  • Sterile technique: Clean work surface with disinfectant, wash hands thoroughly, and use sterile technique throughout.
  • No shaking: Never shake the vials — gentle swirling only to avoid degrading the peptides.

Step-by-step reconstitution

01

Preparation

  • Clean workspace: Disinfect your work surface thoroughly.
  • Wash hands: Use soap and water, then dry completely.
  • Layout supplies: Arrange all components on clean surface.
  • Sterilize vials: Wipe the rubber stopper of the peptide vial and the bacteriostatic water vial with alcohol prep pads. Let air dry 30–60 seconds.
02

Prepare syringe

  • Attach needle: Attach the blunt fill needle to the 5ml syringe.
  • Draw air: Draw air into syringe to the 5ml mark.
  • Insert needle: Insert needle into bacteriostatic water vial.
  • Fill syringe: Inject air to prevent vacuum, then draw 5ml bacteriostatic water. Remove needle from vial.
03

Reconstitute the vial

  • Insert at angle: Insert needle into the combined Semax + Selank vial at an angle, aiming at the inside wall.
  • Slow injection: Slowly push plunger to let water trickle down the glass wall — do NOT squirt directly onto powder.
  • Dissolve: Gently swirl the vial in slow circular motion until powder completely dissolves. Do not shake.
  • Transfer: Draw the entire reconstituted solution (~5ml) into the syringe. Transfer contents to the nasal spray bottle.
04

Final volume

  • Remaining water: Using the same syringe, draw the remaining 5ml bacteriostatic water.
  • Add to bottle: Add to the nasal spray bottle. Final volume: 10ml total liquid.
  • Mix gently: Gently swirl the bottle to mix. Do not shake.
05

Labeling & storage

  • Label bottle: Date of reconstitution, Contents: "Semax 10mg + Selank 10mg in 10ml", Concentration: "1mg/ml each peptide".
  • Refrigerate: Store at 36–46°F (2–8°C). Protect from light. Do not freeze.
  • Shelf life: Use within 20–30 days after reconstitution.

  • Timing: Morning upon waking and midday during mental work
  • Administration: Avoid taking too late in day if sensitive to sleep disruption
  • Storage: Keep refrigerated, protect from light, do not freeze reconstituted solution

Troubleshooting

Cloudy solution?

Wait 5–10 minutes, then gently swirl again.

Particles visible?

Let vial sit for a few minutes and swirl again.

Nasal irritation?

Consider using bacteriostatic saline instead of standard BAC water for sensitive users.
