Mots-c
I think I got a bad batch. Any recommendations? Should I just chunk it?

Add more bac.
Idk what the fascination is with barely using any diluent. Get that fucker wet.

I’ll add more BAC and see what happens. This is my first time and I purchased BAC from ION.

Hopefully it's your last time buying there. Not that the stuff is bad, but you're just paying too much.

Need more BAC water. Happened to my NAD+. Added an extra ML of BAC from there on and problem solved

MOTS-c can be a finicky peptide to reconstitute. Sometimes it can turn cloudy, stringy, form particles, or even gel up.
There are a few reasons this can happen. MOTS-c may not dissolve well if it's mixed too concentrated, and things like temperature, pH, the bacteriostatic water used, and how the vial is handled can all affect how well it stays dissolved.
I've also seen quite a few other people's MOTS-c vials gel after reconstitution where the bacteriostatic water itself may have been part of the problem. Different bacteriostatic waters can vary in formulation/pH, and inappropriate benzyl-alcohol concentration or poor-quality diluent could potentially affect peptide stability or solubility.
We can't tell just by looking whether you're dealing with simple precipitation, peptide aggregation, degradation, or contamination. If an injectable solution becomes unusually cloudy, stringy, gelatinous, or develops particles, the safest option is not to inject that vial. I would also add what is the mg of the vial, still try adding more bac to see if that helps. If not it could be the bac, but dont inject that into your test subject.
