What’s the oldest /longest expired gear you have used?

[phoenix2]

I've run some balkan winny tabs 2 years after expiration date and they worked great.
I have some test propionate vials expired in 2018 but i'm scared just to look them.

 

[cage99]

What about orals?I have a lot of anavar expired since 2020

Absolutely nothing wrong with it! If it’s in a temperature controlled room and not exposed to wild temperature swings it good!

I kno folks that Leave their stuff in a vehicle. So it bakes here in the summer & occasionally freezes in late winter. Not a smart choice for storage!

Why would gear expire? Unless it's contaminated or sitting in the sun it's gonna be pretty much good...

 

[btails]

Not telling anyone to go ahead and do this but ya I've used some olllddd stuff and it worked perfectly fine.

The only time I'd question it is if it were a water based inject.

When most chemicals/powders are subjected to heat or air or moisture then start to degrade and loose potency. I am sure expiration dates are like most things and they are set up for the biggest idiot out their that leaves things in their nice warm, moist bathroom maybe even out on the counters where light can get at it. The military did a study a while back and they found
"With a large and expensive stockpile of drugs, the military faced tossing out and replacing its drugs every few years. What they found from the study is 90% of more than 100 drugs, both prescription and over-the-counter, were perfectly good to use even 15 years after the expiration date."

Not sure about injectables so I wont comment on that. But the orals ive used have been good to go years after the expiration date. I know im not exactly comparing apples to apples, but expiration dates on pharmaceuticals in European countries seem to be longer than in the United States. So as long as the orals are from a "reputable ugl" I have no worries if there expired.

We had an old source here once that tested some gear that was 5 yrs past expire that tested 100% label strength. I seen some old expired Brovel stuff in Mexico once where the stoppers were deteriorating so I'd always inspect those. I think if you store them right they could be good even past expiration, especially tabs.

Drugs only lose little efficacy after the expiration date. The only drugs known to be harmful when expired (or exposed directly to light) are tetracyclines antibiotics.
Now, with oral AAS there are no problems at all. But injectables? Preservatives can lose efficacy too after expiration, leading to increased probabilities of infections. I wouldn't risk.

I had a bottle of Syntex anadrol years ago that was 5 years over exp date and it work just as good

I just used some inj Lasix that expired in 2009. It worked exactly as it should.

In view of all these replies I think my amps that have been dry stored in a box in a wardrobe should be fine. Thanks all

I have a half dozen Viagra in my kit that’s at least 13 years old likely more. I should toss them as I get great dick pills from a guaranteed sponsor. I’d hate to end up in an ER some night with a raging uncontrollable hard on. Or worse.

It wouldn't increase potency it would decrease If anything

Pull a little oil out, if the oil is rancid you should be able to smell/taste such, I know I can detect rancid oil very easily. That being said I used a 2/3 empty vial expired by 4 years from a TRT clinic that I lost and subsequently found years later. I did the rancid test and was good to go.

What does rancid oil smell like ? will it be very obvious ,for example spoiled milk smell or something like that , you know dam well when milk is spoiled lol, just wondering what to look for

 

[alfresco]

Test. 2 years. It might separate but some time in a cup of hot water brings it back into solution.

Question. How long is it okay to keep it loaded in a syringe?

I will load one up and don’t get around to using it for a few day, beyond that, how long?

Thanks.

The main concern with having preloaded syringes sitting around is the rubber from the plunger breaking off into the oil. If you're going to store them for a few days keep them upside down and pull the plunger far enough back so the rubber isn't in the oil. In general I wouldn't let them sit more than a few days before using.

Look. This whole rancid thing come from people who know nothing looking up how long store bought oil is good for on the shelf. ANY non shit preparation includes the drug, ba and bb in addition to the carrier oil. It is filtered sterile with alcohol preservative in solution. If kept in reasonable conditions it will be at or near full potency and totally fine indefinitely. I've seen plenty of 5-10+ year old gear in sealed vials and amps and even open half used vials. In my life I have literally never once seen a single instance of rancid oil (in any thread on any board in 20 years I don't think I've seen a single post from an experienced member ever indicate that they had either, and I've seen plenty where guys used super old stuff and responded to it just fine). I'm sitting on numerous old trt vials probably 8 year plus old and produces the same serum levels it did when it was new.

Now I'm not saying, inject total shit or aged crap without looking or examining (not saying it has never happened) but this crazy talk comes from 19 year old high school drop outs running their first cycle googling.

 

[Flex500]

Mufasa hit this one on the nose. <10 years old and that bottle is still in its infancy stages lol. I've used 20 years old test before. If it's sealed properly and in a dark/non hot place you will be good for conceivably decades.

Shorter answer...the test will likely outlive you and all of us.

This right here. Perfect answer. Also store your vials upright for the same reason esp if super solvents were included.
