BAC ALCOHOL PREP PADS
Day-1 starter kit

The Tide Kit.

Everything you need on day 1. Cooler case, syringes, needles, wipes, and a vial of bacteriostatic water — all in one box.

The first time you reconstitute a peptide, you'll need five things you probably don't already have: an insulated case to keep it cold, 29-gauge syringes for the dose, 18-gauge needles for the reconstitution, sterile alcohol wipes, and bacteriostatic water. The Tide Kit ships all of it in one box, so day 1 isn't three orders and two weeks of waiting.

What's inside

Five things, one box.

Each kit ships with the minimum-but-complete set of supplies for reconstituting a peptide vial and self-administering subcutaneous doses. No upsell tier — everything's in the box.

1×
Insulated cooler case

Foam-lined, with a "g" mark on the lid. Doubles as a travel case for protocol on the road. Reusable indefinitely.

20×
29g insulin syringes

1mL capacity, fixed-needle 29-gauge ½" — the standard for subcutaneous peptide injection. Roughly 20 doses for the typical protocol.

5×
18g reconstitution needles

For drawing bacteriostatic water during reconstitution only — never inject with an 18g. Enough for ~5 vial reconstitutions, more than most monthly protocols need.

20×
Alcohol prep wipes

70% isopropyl, sterile, individually sealed. For prepping injection sites and wiping vial septums between draws.

1×
10ml BAC water vial

Sterile bacteriostatic water with 0.9% benzyl alcohol preservative. Enough to reconstitute 3-10 peptide vials depending on dilution.

Day one, step by step

Open the box, draw your first dose.

The Tide Kit is built around the actual workflow of starting a peptide protocol — not a generic medical supply bundle. Here's what you'll do with each item.

Step 01
Reconstitute the vial

Wipe the BAC water vial top with an alcohol wipe. Use an 18g recon needle on a syringe to draw 1–3mL of bacteriostatic water (varies by dose plan — our dose calculator tells you exactly). Slowly inject it down the side wall of your peptide vial. Swirl gently. Never shake.

Step 02
Draw your dose

Switch to a fresh 29g insulin syringe. Wipe the reconstituted peptide vial top. Invert the vial, draw your prescribed dose in units (calculator gives you the exact number). Tap out air bubbles. Cap the needle if not injecting immediately.

Step 03
Inject subcutaneously

Pinch the skin on your abdomen, thigh, or upper outer arm. Wipe with an alcohol pad. Insert the syringe at 45–90° depending on subcutaneous fat depth. Push the plunger slowly. Withdraw and apply gentle pressure with a fresh alcohol pad.

Step 04
Refrigerate the vial

Put the reconstituted vial in the insulated case (or your fridge directly). The cooler case is for travel and short-term refrigeration; for daily home use, your fridge works fine. Reconstituted peptides stay good for 28 days at 2–8°C.

Why it matters

A peptide alone doesn't work.

Most first-time peptide buyers don't think about the rest of the supplies until the vial arrives. Then they realize: I can't actually use this yet. Insulin syringes need a separate medical-supply order. Bacteriostatic water has to come from a compounding pharmacy. Recon needles are sold in 100-packs of mismatched sizes.

By the time everything arrives, it's been 7–14 days, and the motivation to start is gone. Or worse — they improvise with the wrong gauge needle and the first injection is unnecessarily painful, which kills compliance.

The Tide Kit ships in the same box as your peptide. Day 1 is the day you decided to start. Not three weeks later.

FAQ

The questions that come up.

Do I really need the Tide Kit if I'm buying peptides? +
If you don't already have insulin syringes, reconstitution needles, alcohol wipes, and bacteriostatic water at home — yes. Most first-time peptide buyers don't have these on hand. Sourcing them separately means three different orders (medical supply + Amazon + a compounding pharmacy for BAC water) and 1–2 weeks of waiting. The Tide Kit ships in the same box as your peptide.
What's inside the kit? +
An insulated cooler case (also doubles as a travel case), 20× 29-gauge insulin syringes (1mL, fixed needle), 5× 18-gauge reconstitution needles for drawing bacteriostatic water, 20 sterile alcohol prep wipes, and 1× 10mL bacteriostatic water vial. That's enough supplies for roughly 20 dose administrations.
Why 29-gauge insulin syringes specifically? +
29g is the standard size for subcutaneous peptide injection — fine enough to be nearly painless, sturdy enough to draw through the vial septum. Lower gauges (e.g. 25g) are uncomfortable; higher (31g+) can be too fine to handle smoothly during reconstitution measurement.
Is bacteriostatic water really necessary? +
Yes for any lyophilized (powder) peptide. The 0.9% benzyl alcohol preservative in BAC water keeps the reconstituted vial safe for up to 28 days at refrigeration. Plain sterile water (USP) lacks the preservative and must be used in a single sitting — wasteful for multi-dose peptides.
Can I return the kit? +
Once opened, no — sterility cannot be reconfirmed after seals are broken, and we cannot resell opened medical supplies. Unopened kits can be returned within 14 days for a refund. Damaged-in-transit kits get replaced free of charge if you email us with photos within 7 days of delivery. See our Refund Policy for the full rules.
Does the BAC water count as a separate product? +
It's included free as part of the kit. We also sell BAC water vials separately on the shop page if you need more — running out is the most common "oh no" moment for peptide users. Keep a backup vial in the fridge.

The Tide Kit isn't peptide-specific — the contents work for any subcutaneous protocol. Add it once, use it for any of the 12 peptides we ship.
