Any product we use requires proper storage. The proper way of storing things will depend on their nature. HCG diet drops and injections are typically stored in cool places like a refrigerator to keep them fresh. How we store products can actually affect its quality and safety. As written on Natural Wellness, expiration dates printed on product packaging might not be an important indicator of whether the product can still be used safely or not.
Expiration and Storage of Drops and Injections
When it comes to HCG products, storage should be among the important things you should consider. You must know how to store HCG; how long can you store HCG and where should you store HCG. These issues could be answered differently depending on the type of HCG product you are using. Therefore, when you find out more about them, you need to determine how they should be properly kept in safe and potent condition.
Storing Pharmaceutical HCG Injections and Drops
HCG used as injection or drop will usually be delivered to the user in powder form. This powder must be mixed with bacteriostatic (sterile with added alcohol as preservative) or plain sterile water. After mixing, the mixture has to be refrigerated always to avoid degradation. Any kind of exposure could damage and compromise both quality and potency of the mixture. Some people might find this troublesome due to their jobs, travel requirements or very busy lifestyle.
People with hectic schedules could take their HCG early morning before leaving home or in the evening when they get back home. As for someone who often travels, storage of HCG in a refrigerator would be impossible except if you have a van equipped with a mini fridge. These pharmaceutical HCG products also expire more quickly than most medications that usually stay usable within 6 months or 12 months period. Some brands of pharmaceutical HCG indicate that if refrigerated, the product can last up to 60 days, but some people report their HCG started losing potency only after 30 days. Thus, the best solution is not to order excessive amounts of pharmaceutical HCG. And as an example, order them at an amount that is good for only one round of HCG dieting. Plan your orders very well by taking into consideration more details like the amount of time your purchase would be delivered. The time it takes for the HCG product to be delivered might already be subtracting the number of days you can use it at its maximum potency.
Homeopathic HCG Drops
These are much simpler to deal with compared to pharmaceutical HCG products. No special storage details are required apart from storing them in cool place and away from direct sunlight. Refrigeration would be ideal, but you may also place them on top of your office desk where there is no direct sunlight or heat source. Homeopathic drops also have longer shelf life of up to five years. Thus, you can order as much as you can and you like for multiple rounds of HCG dieting. You could even find companies that deliver fast so you could receive your homeopathic drops as soon as possible.
