HCG storage time

**Knight1811** · 01-01-2005, 08:55 PM

Since so many are advocating the use of HCG during cycle...I really like SWALE's view that HCG should be used 2 or 3 times at very low doses since HCG is a lot stronger than realized by the general BB community.

This sounds great but what about storage? How long after reconstitution can the reconstituted HCG last before losing potency or just plain becomes unusable?

Generally, I've seen 10K IU vials of HCG....and at low doses...less than 500ius( or 250 IUs)...that would mean you get 20(at 500 IUs) or 40(at 250 IUs)uses...if done twice a week then that would be 10 weeks at 500 IUs and 20 weeks at 250 IUs. Can the reconstituted HCG last that long? 20 weeks seems like a really long....hell..10 weeks seems like a long time.

In short it will not last 10 weeks.

Then what's the long story? What is the longest it can maintain its potency?

go for the 15,000iu kit with 3 5000iu amps and it will be 5 weeks at 500ius 2x/wk

It will last about 10 days once suspended.

I'm want to believe your response for 4 weeks. It sounds right for Bact water. But, I don't want to f up. Where did you read this?

Also, I'm totally surprised about the 10 day answer.
Bro, where are you getting the information? I'm curious. I'm not doubting you, I'm just shocked that the potency wains after 10 days. That sucks.

I have always reconstituded it first with 1ml of BA then took the BA/solution mix and added it to BW. Thats why the injection kind of burns for a second.
