Frozen Juice?

[Saheim]

Uh... This has never happened (to me, anyway).

Central heat/air has been out for a while. I get through the summer with a window unit and the winter with a small electrical heater and a warm curvy woman.

My gear froze in my bathroom. It turned from clear to white and is maybe solid, maybe more like the consistency of soft wax. I moved it to a warm room. If and when it turns back to a clear liquid is it safe to run? Any weird changes take place that would make it unsafe or less effective?

Thank You smart guys

sounds like weak or bunked stuff to me but let a vet chime in ,

I don't think its bunk so much as its a popsicle at the moment. How much gear is frozen. Is it worth replacing.

You can reheat it in warm/hot water or wrap it in a heating pad. Most gear will crystallize if it gets down too cold.

Try running it under some hot tap water.

warm water and 20 min and see how it is. iv had to do it for crystallizing gear a couple times in the past. not frozen, but i dont see much issue if it wasnt extreme IMO

How cold do you suspect the vial(s) got? All that's happening is basically the ester molecules may, or may not, have separated from the base (oil or water). When you heat it up, very mildly shake it in a circular motion to help the dissolution process.

I had that happen just do like they said with the hot water.

Appreciate the info, guys! I did not get to read the thread until this morning. It looks fine now. I had gotten down to about 30* F. I did not use hot water because (as I said) I did not see the replies until now. I did try to shake it in a circle, as it thawed out because, even after it was liquid, you could still see a difference - it was kinda like vinegar and oil. It seems fine now, I'm gonna pin it.

It was only a couple ML left, but it isn't the matter of price. My guy lives kinda far away and I"m already 2 days late on a shot. I did not want to skip until I could get more.

Again - THANK YOU for your help

IMO I would warm it to a nice consistency so it will thin out and hopefully returns to a clear oil. Then let it sit at room temp for 24hrs prior to possible injection.

Hormones get destroyed by heat, however they get deactivated by cold/freeze and can be reactivated when they are placed at a temperature near body temperature.

This is true but doesn't apply to steroid hormones in this thread.

You can autoclave AAS at 250°F and 15PSI for sterilization purposes and not denature the hormones.

It's normal for this to happen

Not likely to happen but on rare occasion.
