HCG: How Long Will it Last?

I was prescribed the 10,000 unit bottle of Novarel. I'm going to mix with 10ml water and do .25ml (250 units) twice per week to start. Unless my math is wrong, that's 20 weeks worth of injections in the 10ml bottle. Will it last that long after mixing if refrigerated? 5 months seems like an awful long time.

Edit: I think I answered my own question. Pharmacist said bottle will say "discard unused portion after 60 days."

It usually is good unto 90days when refrigerated properly. After that it just starts to lose potency. I know guys that have used the same vial for up to 4 month and stated it still worked.
 
As long as you store it in the refrigerator, it should be good, for 90 days without losing any potency, after that loss is very low like 7% per month.
 
Is HCG really that unstable where having it in the refrigerator door will lead to breakdown/loss of potency? There are many posts/articles on both side of the HCG storage. Just wondering what real people have to say, not some blogger looking to attract clicks for the web page.

Your best solution would be to talk to the pharmacist that dispensed your hCG. It's going to vary by manufacturer.

You can check your balls and see how they feel. :rolleyes:
 
It would be nice to have a meter like the ones for glucose that could check it. It would probably be unnecessary as it says what's in it on the label.;)

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
