Shelf Life/storage Question

[VeganGearMan]

Evening team. Still relatively new here so a lot of you won’t know me yet, I did post an introduction in the new members area which will give you some background on me. Long story short, I bought some gear recently and decided it’s not time to do a cycle as of yet. Reason being is I’m still a natural, but I’m not at my biggest/strongest I’ve been in my lifting career and given that I’m 26 I don’t think it’s necessary to hop straight on the gear while that’s the case. What I’ve bought is 2 x 10 ml Test-E (300mg/ml) and turinabol. Not worried about the T Bol as I’m sure that will be fine, it’s more the test I’m worried about. I know in time I will hop on the sauce, so I want to keep it safe for when that time comes. It’s got an expiry of Jan 2025, which is super convenient BUT I just wanted to know about the best way to store it to make sure it stays doesn’t decay in any way - any recommendations? I’ve used the search function and all I could find on the topic water BAC water shelf life so I thought I’d start a thread, if there are any active threads discussing this and I’ve just not searched properly, feel free to link them. Thanks in advance.

It'll be fine, just keep it stood upright so the stopper doesnt get broken down by the solvents.

Dark cool place is fine.

Perfect, thank you both

Keep it away from light and in a dry place

I've had meds stashed away in cool dark places for many years and some of them were even well beyond the expiry date when I eventually used them....and they all worked just fine.

The shelf life of meds is definitely all about temperature and light exposure though so if you're not gonna run the cycle soon just put the vials in a little box and put the box in a cupboard/wardrobe etc.

You could also stick them in the freezer if you wanna be really extreme about shelf life/degradation...... and I'd actually suggest using the fridge/freezer for anything that's water based (HCG/Peptides/Slin etc)

Also don’t believe the use by dates on ugl gear. They run a hundreds of labels at a time at the printers and they’ll be used on multiple batches over as many months until the labels run out.

Does gear actually degrade or expire anyway?
If its sterile and sealed properly then surely its good for a while, a bit like that emergency tin of tuna at the back of the cupboard

Maybe after 10 years your 200mg test e becomes 198.9mg/ml.

Can the oil go rancid?

Can the oil go rancid?

If kept at a constant cool ambient temperature oil is unlikely to get rancid or change viscosity.
Seen plenty of crashed and milky amps though but they were fine after warming them up slowly.

Wouldn't like to comment about UGL vials though coz it's not the same manufacturing standard as a pharma amp and UGLs are using allsorts of different carrier agents these days.

the stopper can degrade or hence why best to store upright......

as Sunny said many labels use labels on multiple batches or if expiry is getting close then stick a new label on anyway

 

[Mr mac]

I’ve got legit alpha pharma amps that expired 2017. I’m still confident there good
