HCG powder storage temperature

[thephoenix25]

Hi,
Last time I got my HCG powder, it was sold to me along with an ice pack for keeping it cold. At the time I thought that HCG before its been mixed with BAC water was not susceptible to degrading, but I kept it cold anyway just to be sure. Now I plan to get more but its likely that the hotel I'll be staying in (for 4 days) wont have a fridge to keep it cool. Can anyone help clear this up for me.

Does HCG powder (not mixed with BAC water) have to be kept cool?

I cannot identify the brand as I didn't take photos, I can only say it was a Thai made brand sold in a 5ml vial.

PS this is SE Asia, so daytime temps are ~30C

Maybe ask this in the lab section?

Let's Clear Up Some Confusion About Handling hCG

Let's get a few myths out of the way...

Myth # 1: hCG must be injected subcutaneously. (This is not true, IM injections work just as well. SubQ is fine, but only matters if you're a TRT patient)
Myth # 2: I cannot use hCG past 30 days (This is not true, use it for 2 months. It'll be fine)
Myth # 3: I can use oral hCG I got at the store. (This is not true and is simply a complete scam. Avoid it.)

hCG needs to be refrigerated for the sole purpose of preserving potency. It does not "go bad", ever. hCG merely loses potency over time, and at a faster pace when placed at room temperature.

hCG can be used for 90 days after reconstituting it. After 90 days, it loses approximately 10% potency per month. You can leave hCG at room temperature for about a week with negligible potency loss. No loss if it's in the early stages after mixing. After 90 days, you would simply increase dose to compensate for the 10% loss per month. So for those of you who travel, do not be afraid to take your hCG. No need to go through the extra measure of keeping it cool.

The reason hCG generally does not arrive mixed, is because in some cases, it is frozen in powder form, which would preserve the compound for millions of years. This way you can thaw the powder and use it at your convenience. Some manufacturers ship premixed compounds, such as the HUCOG brand, which is extracted from pregnant rat urine.

hCG is not as "fragile" as most of us are led to believe. If you prefer to minimize injections, you can combine your steroid compounds with hCG into the same syringe and inject. The only real way to destroy hCG is by freezing and thawing pre-loaded/premixed syringes, as the ice crystals tend to destroy the proteins. If you decide to freeze your mixed hCG, be sure not to re-freeze it, ever.

The expiration dates are merely the length of time the potency was tested. This is also used/marketed so that you purchase more of this compound.
