-water-on-amazon

As many of you know, I recently shared some of the data from the Peptide Cr=
afters study testing the pH and benzyl alcohol content of bacteriostatic wa=
ter being sold on Amazon. Only 2 of 11 products passed. I=E2=80=99ll link t=
he full study below.
Now it looks like Amazon may be pulling bac water from the platform entirel=
y.
There are two ways to read this:
The FDA is cracking down on bacteriostatic water sales
Amazon looked at their own inventory and realized half of it was garbage th=
at never should have been listed in the first place
Honestly, both could be true. And given that the Peptide Crafters data show=
ed most of what was being sold didn=E2=80=99t even meet basic pH or benzyl =
alcohol standards, option 2 feels pretty warranted.
My take: I don=E2=80=99t think Amazon comes back to this category. Their su=
pplement listing requirements are notoriously difficult to pass, from what =
supplement company owners have told me, and I don=E2=80=99t think they have=
 the infrastructure or the education to properly vet bac water quality the =
way they=E2=80=99d need to. COA review for something like this is not in th=
eir wheelhouse.
The silver lining is that the bac water being sold there wasn=E2=80=99t som=
ething you should have been buying anyway. Most of the vendors in our commu=
nity carry it, and you know exactly what you=E2=80=99re getting from them.

height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">Now it looks like Amazon may be pulling bac =
water from the platform entirely.</p><p style=3D"margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: =
rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">There are two ways to rea=
d this:</p><ol style=3D"margin-top: 0;padding: 0;"><li style=3D"margin: 8px=
 0 0 32px;"><p style=3D"color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;margin-botto=
m: 0;box-sizing: border-box;padding-left: 4px;font-size: 16px;margin: 0;">T=
he FDA is cracking down on bacteriostatic water sales</p></li><li style=3D"=
margin: 8px 0 0 32px;"><p style=3D"color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;m=
argin-bottom: 0;box-sizing: border-box;padding-left: 4px;font-size: 16px;ma=
rgin: 0;">Amazon looked at their own inventory and realized half of it was =
garbage that never should have been listed in the first place</p></li></ol>=
<p style=3D"margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-=
size: 16px;">Honestly, both could be true. And given that the Peptide Craft=
ers data showed most of what was being sold didn&#8217;t even meet basic pH=
 or benzyl alcohol standards, option 2 feels pretty warranted.</p><p style=
=3D"margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16=
px;">My take: I don&#8217;t think Amazon comes back to this category. Their=
 supplement listing requirements are notoriously difficult to pass, from wh=
at supplement company owners have told me, and I don&#8217;t think they hav=
e the infrastructure or the education to properly vet bac water quality the=
 way they&#8217;d need to. COA review for something like this is not in the=
ir wheelhouse.</p><p style=3D"margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-=
height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">The silver lining is that the bac water bein=
g sold there wasn&#8217;t something you should have been buying anyway. Mos=
t of the vendors in our community carry it, and you know exactly what you&#=
8217;re getting from them.</p><p style=3D"margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,=
