So I have heard various conflicting information regarding this from my clinic and also other clinics and forums for TRT here in the UK.

I have a 30ml bottle of Bac water that I have had from November last year, i use it to mix my HCG.

People say it only lasts 30 - 60 days when first used? But surely you can keep it in fridge for a very long time? That's the whole point of it being bac water?

Also people claim that you need to change HCG every 30 days, personally I have used the same HCG mixed vial in fridge for around 3 months with no issues.

Just want to know as don't want to be buying new bac water every two months.

I’ve used bac, older then two years, Refrigerated. Personally, I would still use it and wouldn’t be concerned.
