Subsequent studies and patents from the same group of researchers showed that a 15 amino acid peptide derived from the N-terminus of BPC, now known as BPC 157, has many of the same effects as the entire protein
This article aims to shed light on what bacteriostatic water is, how it's used in healthcare, and the correct methods for its storage

At best, youve turned bacteriostatic water into regular sterile water
Storage & stability How long it lasts, both before and after reconstitution The stability of bacteriostatic water and the reconstituted solution depends on the phase you are in: Unopened vial of bacteriostatic water: Store at room temperature, protected from direct light Shelf life according to the date on the packaging (typically months to years) Peptide reconstituted with bacteriostatic water: Store at 28 C (a standard refrigerator), protected from light Use within 14 to 30 days depending on the specific peptide More sensitive peptides (for example LL-37 or SS-31 ) may have shorter stability, follow the documentation for the given peptide Peptide reconstituted with sterile water without preservative: Substantially shorter shelf life, typically up to 7 days , since protection against microbial growth is absent Practical storage rules Let the vial warm to room temperature before opening (1520 min)
