HGH shelf life

[ironone1]

I was just wondering for a friend of mine what the shelf life of GH is and does it always have to be refrigerated? I tried a search couldn't find anything specific, would appreciate any help....ironone1

whilst in powder form it will remain prity stable for fairly long periods of time, upto a couple of months, once mixed tho keep refrigerated.

So it wouldn't be good for say 6 months unless it was refrigerated?

I was told good for 12 months + in a fridge in powder form, so not know the truth however would be nice to know

It's supposed to be 2 years from the year of manufacture when stored in the fridge.

What about once it is mixed ? how long is it good for?

 

[finny]

If I recall correctly, when mixed with bac water about a week. The smallest dosage for 'health' benefits is 1 or 1.5IUs/day. This gives you between 7 and 10 days and that's the max I would probably go.

Thanks for the info. finny.

I thought about 3 weeks in the fridge

I think it all depends on the type and amount of preservites in the formula

Don't keep chinese generic IGF into a fridge more 48 hours if U mix IGF with bac water.

GH in powder form NOT MIXED will stay over a year in a refrigerator. If you ever looked an exp. date on a legit box and its fairly new, exp. date is about 18 months out. So like Finny said most likely 2 years stamp on it at the manufacture plant. If you have generic with know exp. date I would say its most likely good for at least a year or would try to use withen a year.

Once mixed and kept in the refrigerator it should be used up within a week, although if you get a US made GH like Genotropin it says on their inserts the preservative they use allows the GH to last 28 days while refrigerated. I don't think it regular BAC water though.
