Hcg, water or sodium mixture?

[trt4me]

I get my Hcg through defy and Holland pharma. It comes with sodium chloride. Should this be used or should bacteriostatic water be used? Thanks.

If its included with the mixing kit I would use it though I'm not totally clear on what the differences in the two would be.

Yes the more I read the more conflicting things I hear. Mostly about the shelf life of the mixed product between the two
Sodium chloride is included on my kit. .

Sodium chloride is just normal saline and will not help to prohibit growth of bacteria like bacteriostatic water does. Bacteriostatic water has benzyl alcohol added to it as a bacteriostatic preservative. I would not use normal saline for a multiple dose vial.
