How much bacteriostatic water do I add to 5mg of Selank?

The standard protocol is to add 2 ml of bacteriostatic water to a 5 mg vial of Selank. This produces a concentration of 2.50 mg/ml (2500 mcg/ml). Adjust the water volume down if you want a more concentrated solution for smaller syringe volumes, or up if you prefer easier-to-read markings.

What is the standard dose of Selank after reconstitution?

A common Selank research dose is 250 mcg per administration. At a concentration of 2.50 mg/ml, this equals approximately 10.0 IU on a 100-unit insulin syringe (0.100 ml per dose). Always confirm your dose against your protocol — this is a starting reference only.

How long does reconstituted Selank last in the fridge?

Reconstituted Selank in bacteriostatic water typically remains stable for 14 days refrigerated at 2–8°C (36–46°F). BAC water contains 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative. Never freeze, never leave at room temperature, and discard if the solution becomes cloudy or discolored.

What concentration does 5mg Selank in 2ml water give?

5 mg of Selank reconstituted in 2 ml of BAC water produces a concentration of 2.50 mg/ml, which equals 2500 mcg/ml. This vial yields roughly 20 full doses at 250 mcg per administration.

Can I use sterile water instead of BAC water for Selank?

You can, but it is not recommended for multi-dose vials. Sterile water has no benzyl alcohol preservative, so reconstituted Selank must be used within 24 hours. BAC water allows the vial to last 14 days refrigerated. Use sterile water only if you plan to finish the entire vial in a single session.

How to Reconstitute Selank

Pre-filled calculator with standard defaults for Selank: 5 mg vial in 2 ml BAC water.

Standard Selank Reconstitution Protocol

Add 2 ml of bacteriostatic water to a 5 mg vial of Selank. This gives a concentration of 2.50 mg/ml. A standard 250 mcg dose equals about 10.0 IU on a 100-unit insulin syringe. Store refrigerated at 2–8°C and use within 14 days.

Step-by-Step: How to Reconstitute Selank

1

Gather your supplies

A sealed 5 mg vial of Selank, a vial of bacteriostatic water, a 1 ml (100-unit) insulin syringe, and an alcohol swab.
2

Inject the water

Wipe both vial stoppers with alcohol. Draw 2 ml of BAC water into the syringe and inject it slowly down the inside wall of the Selank vial. Never spray directly onto the powder — the force can damage the peptide.
3

Swirl gently

Gently swirl the vial in a circular motion until the Selank fully dissolves. Do not shake. The solution should become clear.
4

Calculate your dose

At a concentration of 2.50 mg/ml, a 250 mcg (0.250 mg) dose equals about 10.0 IU on a 100-unit insulin syringe.
5

Draw and store

Draw your dose, perform the injection, and immediately return the vial to the refrigerator at 2–8°C. Use the reconstituted vial within 14 days.

These defaults reflect the most common community protocols for Selank. Individual research protocols may differ. Always verify against your source and consult a qualified practitioner before any injection. BodyHackGuide publishes for research and educational purposes only.
