    HCG Does it go bad?

    Could be a dumb question. But o well..

    I am putting everything together for my cycle now and it's going to take me some time for me to get everything. Money wise and other stuff (BW And BW money). But my source has it now. Might go ahead and get it and save it. Will have everything besides BW stuff after this.

    This is not being mixed or is it better to mix it and put in the refrigerator?

    I am guess but the Adex isn't going to go bad pill form?

    Thanks.

    if you get it in powder form, just leave it that way and put it in the freezer until your ready. if its already a solution, pass because it starts losing potency after 60 days.

    No offense meant, but it appears OP should do some more research before embarking on a cycle...

    Small clarification, please? I seem to be feeling overall better results from HCG than testosterone cyp. I also notice there are more hairs in my comb than with the test, maybe my bad pituitary gland is in play, I do my blood test next Monday morning......anyway, if I buy my HCG in bulk I put the mixed liquid vial in the refrigerator crisper, do the powder ampules go in my drawer, my refrigerator, or my freezer??? Thank You.

    HCG expirations aren't as cut and dry as one might think.

    When a pharmacy makes HCG they are required to put an expiration on it, in most cases, this will be a 30 or 60 day expiration date. However, that does not mean the HCG actually goes bad or starts to lose potency at 30 or 60 days. It cost X amount of money for the 30 day test they are required to run, it cost a little more for the 60 day test - in either case, this means the HCG has been tested and proven to hold potency and quality for 30-60 days and such tests have been paid for. So what about after let's say 60 days? I've seen plenty of HCG products that have full potency at 90-100 days, the pharmacy cannot put an expiration of 90-100 days on the bottle because they did not pay to have it tested for that time frame and rarely will as it would be enormously expensive.

    Lastly, whenever a bottle of HCG does start to lose potency, it does not rapidly fall. Potency loss is at a rate of approximately 10% per 15-20 days in most cases.

    Thanks man. Yea I am been at it for awhile now. Just learning as I go. The way I look at if I don't ask a question ill I'll never learn. I have learned a lot. I just didn't want to buy it and it go bad on me. Because it will be a few weeks before I start bc I am going to do BW before also. Plus I wanna have everything in had. So it has taken me awhile. Thanks for the help.

    Powder does not need to be refrigerated. Just keep it in your drawer or cabinet somewhere.

    I remember reading to store the freeze dried powder in the freezer until reconstituted, but thanks for the clarification LT.

    Pregnyl says to store below 30C (86F). And after reconstituting, keep refrigerated.

    Where I live, it's usually >30C every day, so I keep it in the fridge.

    Yep. If they put a long expiration date on it they'd make less money.

    The problem is if they put a longer expiration date on the bottle it cost more. I know that doesn't make sense at first glance so I'll try to explain.

    A new batch of HCG is made, powder only, not reconstituted.
    The HCG can then be tested for a 30 day potency and must at minimum be good for 30 days. The manufacturer will pay X amount for this.
    If the manufacturer would like to have a longer expiration date, one that extends beyond 30 days, he must pay for the 60 day test, which cost more than the 30 day. You can even do 90 days but again it's more expensive, very expensive and increases the cost of the product greatly, which is why you rarely see 90 days.
