Getting Started Checklist

Essential Supplies

Before starting any peptide protocol, make sure you have all necessary supplies on hand. Running out mid-protocol is not ideal.

Supply checklist:

• [ ] Peptide vials (lyophilized powder from a reputable vendor)
• [ ] Bacteriostatic water (BAC water), not sterile water or saline
• [ ] Insulin syringes (typically 1mL/U-100, 29-31 gauge)
• [ ] Alcohol swabs for sanitizing vial tops and injection sites
• [ ] Sharps container for safe needle disposal

Optional But Recommended

Nice to have:

• [ ] Extra syringes (they're single-use, always use a fresh one)
• [ ] Small cooler or insulated bag for travel
• [ ] Peptide storage container for your refrigerator
• [ ] Digital scale if working with non-pre-measured peptides

Before You Begin

Preparation steps:

• [ ] Research your specific peptide thoroughly — dosing, timing, and duration
• [ ] Consult with a healthcare provider familiar with peptide therapy
• [ ] Get baseline bloodwork (hormone panel, metabolic panel, CBC)
• [ ] Set a clear goal and timeline for your protocol
• [ ] Join a community or find a knowledgeable mentor for guidance
