Deca - How long is it good after expire date?

[strangelove]

Deca with expire date of 01/05. Would it be dangerous to use or just not as effective? Thanks

As long as you've had it stored somewhere relatively dark and cool, it will be fine. Won't be dangerous, but might be a little bit less potent.

I have used gear over 1 yr exp and gotten good results. Exp dates are generally very conservative.

Great question bro,

I loaded your thread with a little of my own Karma to help you get a better answer faster! You can release it later to the member who's answer you liked best.

This feature called "Karma Awarded Threads" alows you to give members an incentive to help you out!

Platinum Members, when you create a new thread, select the "Additional Option" Award Karma to This Post. You can then upload Karma to your question and when you get an answer that you like, you can award it to the person who provided you with that answer.

Let's say that there's an older thread that you created that you did not get many responses on. Open that thread, and click the link "Thread Tools" and you can retroactively create a Karma Awarded Thread. Click the Thread Tools menu and select the option under the "Platinum Copy" feature.

Enjoy! And good luck to the winner!

It will not be dangerous. Expiration dates on drugs have a built in grace period anyway. It is like when your gas gauge says empty, but you are not OUT of gas.. (Sorry, best analogy I could come up with now)

Anyway, after a long time goes on the active ingredient can start to slowly loose effectiness. You are no where close to where that would happen. I did a whole cycle with GREAT results using gear that was over 18 months "expired"

I will be good after the experiation date as long as it is kept in a cool dry place. After the experiation date the drug will start to slowly lose it's potency. Drugs never really go bad per say just lose their effectiveness over time.

As long as it's properly kept, it's not unsafe to use. It won't spoil like milk would. There's a certain length of time that the drug will hold where it's dosed at before it gradually....VERY gradually begins to taper down. It has to be considered expired now because it might longer be holding at the dose on the bottle so a doctor can no longer prescribe it, not knowing what dose is actually in there, even though it's probably still very close if not the same...FDA plays that role. I would say a better analogy would be a fully charged battery that is stored away. It will gradually lose it's power but can still be a good functioning battery. If your told a battery will only hold a FULL charge when not being used for say...3 days, would you throw it away 1 wk later, simply because it may only be at 97% now, or would you still use it?

while this source suggest using Deca by its expiration date, it also has the useful information to store your deca between 8C and 25C, or 46F and 77F.... and keep it away from light, so room temp basically.
check this thread out also : http://www.anabolex.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=59318&highlight=expir*
there is a couple people using gear that is like 3 or more years old with good results....
there is even a guy who found some gear in an old medical school display case and used it with good results apparently.....
anyway I think your deca will be fine... nothing to worry about =)
