Test E Color Question

Okay I had a couple ten ml bottles of test e out in my car and it was cold as hell out like 25 degrees and when I brought them in a couple days later I noticed that the Test E was a different color then the ones I had in the house. it was whiter or a little grey looking cloudy almost vs. the others that were nice and clear…

What gives? Is it still okay to use? Have I ruined it I can’t imagine it was that cold inside my car? Has this ever happened to anyone? Can I still use it? I’m gonna be pissed if I ruined it? but I would rather know then not know…

Cold does not damage steroid preparations.

What you saw was presumably some precipitation/crystallization from the solubility of that particular formulation being exceeded at that temperature, while other products had a greater solubility margin or did not have time to begin crystallization. (Initiation can take time.)

Thanks, that was quick… I assume it will be fine to use then?

If it was fine before (this I cannot know, but let’s assume so) then it still is.

I have had a similar problem.

Some homebrew i had was kept outside for a period…
when it was brought back in the house, i found it had crashed…

A lil heat and all was well.

Bill, are you saying you would recommend he use cloudy (crashed) gear? I find this very surprising to hear.

If there is any crystalization, wouldn’t it be a bad idea to inject? I assume you are assuming that it has returned to solution.

I have had this happen to me and have quickly solved the problem by heating my vial for a short time. Everything went back into a nice, clear solution and I never had any injection issues.

x2 to that - 100% behind you on that.

I say we burn BR at the stake for this bullshit advice he gives us…!

I’ll get me coat… :frowning:

I didn’t mean that he need not wait till it had redissolved. But I assumed that that had already happened on it having been rewarmed for some time.

That’s what I thought.

Just to be clear: Smitty should not inject his current gear until it is a beautiful, clear, urine colored oil, right? If it looks like somebody shook up a bottle of beer…or, I guess, urine, for that matter, it would be best not to inject.

I’m being funny, but seriously, Smitty, if your gear is cloudy, it needs to be heated for a short while before injection.

Yes. If there is still precipitated material, while fundamentally a pharmaceutically-prepared suspension could be an entirely reasonable thing to inject, the particle size resulting from crystallization from cooling would be completely uncontrolled and might be unsuitable.
