Shelf Life of Test Pro and Deca

[ConditonZero]

Can anybody tell me the shelf life of deca and test pro. I was just starting to use them (about 2 shots in on each) and I got hurt where I was unable to work out for a bit. Wondering if these are still good or not.

Thanks

6 months to a year. And what kind of test it is doesn't matter. It's the solution that it's mixed with that matters.

Also of note is that hormones do not deteriorate into harmful products, at least as far as my research has shown. So even if the product is very old by the time you use it (though I would recommend attempting to resale and purchase new later on), while it may end up losing some of its potency, it should otherwise be completely safe to use.

Thanks everyone. But just one thing... is there really any way of me knowing what oil was used?
and as for potentcy well it is 200mg/ml.
Whats the worst that can happen with using these. Deca is about 1 year old and test is about 2 tops.
Thanks again

You can sometimes tell the oil by color/taste.

At 1-2 yrs they should be just fine as long as they weren't old when you bought them.

We had a thread on this a while back n some of the master chemists on here were talking about shelf life and oils... searching for that now

*edit - After searching for the thread for 30 min with no luck I pm'ed one of the master chemists on here and am awaiting reply.

Hmm... everywhere I read says that the oil goes rancid after 6 months to a year. Maybe you are referring to the hormone itself. I don't know though, I don't have any personal experience to back anything up. It's all theory.

I've heard of grapeseed oil going rancid but I believe even that lasts a few yrs. I'm not 100% on extended shelf life so I pm'ed Bona n linked the thread. Hopefully he'll chime in or if I get a pm back i'll post the results.

I believe even pharm test has an exp date of 2 yrs or so

Came across a thread in the Q&A about prop/deca that were 1-2 yrs old n ppl are saying mixed reviews on shelf life. I remember a thread a while back where you and FFM were talking about this and I believe it was around 5yrs or so. Trying to help out a new guy and verify this for em. I've been searching for the old thread for 30 min n can't find it.

Assuming they were stored properly, what are the shelf life's of Prop and Deca? oil type is unknown

thanks,

Unless it is in GSO (greenish), it should be good for at least 5 years. Even after that, it may just start slowly losing potency. Not a big deal.

Thanks Bona

That applies to GSO and similar oils that are kept at room temp and used for cooking. Oils that have been combined with BA and sterilized are a whole different matter.

ok thanks for informing. I also read that the alcohol in the vials can seep out. Is this true? I was reading about making gear so this might not apply to pharma grade or even some underground labs.

[Bonaparte]

If the alcohol can seep out, it is because the vial is wide open and not airtight. In this case, losing BA would be the least pressing concern.
A sealed vial won't leak anything.

Ok i got you, thx for clearing that up for me.
