can sterile water be used in replacement of bacteriostatic water with the injection of hgh growth
If you are doing HCG injections, bacteriostatic water is recommended as plain sterile water will not keep the solution viable long enough to complete the treatment. Bacteriostatic has a preservative in it to keep the HCG injection fresh.
If someone uses HCG sublingually, do they still need bacteriostatic water or will any water do?
