Question about DNP expiration date

[SteakWellDonePls]

I have some Enhanced Athlete DNP that i ordered back in September. I just realized that it expires in January. I didnt plan on usuing it until February.

Anybody know if expired DNP is something to worry about?
I’m going to assume it is bad and I shouldn’t use it passed the expiration date. Especially since its already fucking rat poison. Taking expired rat poison... just sounds stupid.

I'd throw it away just because it's from EA.

Rat poison. Funny.

I doubt that it has an actual expiration date.

For the clowns talking about rat poison - realize that numerous drugs started as poisons or worse and were dialed back to medical efficacy.

Considering Warfarin and Nitroglycerin - a rat poison and an explosive - both widely used, indispensable drugs.

Why would an industrial chemical have an expiration date?

Now if it were a real drug, I would say that it would lose some of its potency as it ages. But since it's not, who knows.

Even a real chemical company says its shelf life is 60 months
51-28-5 CAS | 2,4-DINITROPHENOL INDICATOR | pH Indicator (Solid) | Article No. 03461
and this is just to prevent A LITTLE of it degrading and skewing research results.

No kidding? You should let the FDA know so they can put DNP on the market.

Even "real" drug expiration dates mostly (not all) have to do with liability limitations and forcing stock turnover than efficacy loss.

DoD studied this several times due the cost of tracking and replacing giant stocks of medical reserves. Found that for the vast majority of medical supplies, the expiration dates meant pretty much nothing even if you doubled and tripled the periods.

That 30 year old painkiller is likely going to have at least 80-90% of the efficacy it had the day it rolled out of the press. 100% in many cases when stored appropriately.

You wouldn't want your poison to expire...

People who take poison to get lean for the beach make me shake my head. Do you think that anyone gives a fuck if you're 8% rather than 12%?

So if you were about to start it, but then realized the expiration date, would you still take it?

Suicide has no expiration date.

Grey's point is that expiration dates (for the vast majority of meds) is utter BS, it's just required by the FDA, and there's probably some pharma lobbyist conspiracy there (to make us buy too much) as well.

So, yes, unless it's a waterbased, or refrigerate after opening etc sensitive med, you're good to go.

Dry pills or oil-based meds that have been sitting in room temp in a dark drawer are probably good for another decade beyond expiration date.

Thanks for breaking it down
