How to store HCG powder ?

[Apophatic_Static]

I know this might be a stupid question, but im kinda new to all of this.
I have some HCG 2000 iu packs with bac water unmixed and they are sitting in the cellar at pretty cold, but not freezing temperatures.
Should i put it in the freezer, or just put it in the fridge if it gets warmer? My vials would last me about 7 month.
The storage recommendation from the vendor indicates "do not freeze".
The information on the subject is unclear to me. Im only asking how to store unconstituted HCG.
If i where to put it in the freezer it would probably be a good idea to open the packs and store the included bac water at room temp.
Im probably overcomplicating things, but how do you guys go about this if you don´t want to order new HCG every 2 month.

Cool, dark place work.

The fridge also works. I don't think the difference between the two would matter much

I freeze my powder. HCG is freeze dried during manufacturing, and the temps drop far lower than a food freezer.

But I freeze mine because I have enough to last me years, and it will expire before I use it.

If you’re going to use it before the expiry date, just store it in a draw or something.

Does anyone have experience storing HCG for a few years past expiration? I keep reading that it will be fine.

Not in the fridge.

Do you have an option at this point? If you're trying to conceive on gear and your testicles are still undetectable, try another hcg or increase the dose.

Like with all compounds it has a half life.

You can do some conjecture here and assume that at the date of expiry the medication is at 90% efficacy. Combine that with the date of manufacture and you can get the half life. If the expiry date is 2 years after the manufacture date, and if you use it 4 years after that, you can expect maybe 70% efficacy.

You should be fine to freeze it, as HCG is freeze dried anyway. That should prolong its life.

While this may not apply to HCG most drugs expiration dates have little to do with their shelf life from several studies i have seen. The general recommendation is cool controlled and dark for most meds. freezing may increase the risk of condensation every time the freezer door is opened and the temp changes.And room temp is fine according to some manufacturers.

Study: Expiration dates have nothing to do with shelf life of drugs

Share I'm one of those people who regularly goes through the medicine cabinet looking for expired medications to toss out. But a new study published …

expiry dates have very little to do with degradation. Its usually a regulated time frame that some government pen pusher pulled out of their ass.

Just go to any 3rd world country and see all the drugs that get sold there after reaching the expiry dates in our 1st world countries.
