Nasal Spray

Rumors repeatedly surface claiming these types of peptides can be taken in a nasal spray with good results.  Sellers typically claim that the solution they use is 80% as effective (1 mg inhaled nasally would give the same results as .8 mg injected).

Numerous people have tried these products and have found the effectiveness claims to be FALSE.  While it does work to some degree, it is estimated that it is only 20% - 40% as effective.  That makes it an extremely expensive choice.

If you are determined to try this method anyway, I offer the following advice:

1) Do not purchase pre-mixed solutions.  Peptides are lyophilized (freeze dried) to prevent them from degrading and growing germs.  As soon as you dilute them, they can start breaking down and  spoiling. 

2) Ignore the claims:  "It is 80% as effective"; "Our solution is specially formulated to prevent degrading and germ growth".  You can trust that the supplier did NOT complete any studies to support these claims.  You should also never consider inhaling a solution where you haven't been told exactly what it is comprised of.  Even if they had such a solution, you would have no idea if it is safe to use.

3) I recommend diluting with products designed for nasal use such as Sea Spray.  People who make their own do tell me that bacteriostatic water works fine.

4) Avoid products known to contain drugs (designed to open sinuses or treat allergies for example) for your solution as you do not know what type of interaction problems may occur.

How to Mix Your Own Nasal Spray

1. First obtain a nasal spray bottle and figure out how much is in each squirt.  One way is to carefully measure how much water you are adding (such as 5 cc's) then see how many sprays it takes to empty the bottle.

2. Use a syringe to draw up 1 cc of the solution that you are diluting with.  Inject it into the vial of MT (or MT2).  Slowly roll the vial in your hand until all the peptide is thoroughly dissolved.

3. Decide how much total solution you want in your nasal spray  bottle.  For this example, we want 5 cc's.  Add 4 cc's of solution to your spray bottle.  Use a syringe to withdraw the mixed solution from your peptide vial.  Add it to your spray bottle and gently mix.

4.  Be sure to keep your spray bottle in the refrigerator at all times and use it up quickly.  If it's been in your fridge for weeks, it would be best to make a fresh batch rather than risk illness.  Wash and disinfect your nasal spray bottle between batches.
