If it's still in powder form and kept refrigerated, you can get a couple of years out of it without much trouble. Once you've mixed it, it can stretch past 30 days — it won't spoil, it just loses potency a bit, maybe around 10 % or under. So you can simply bump up your dose slightly.
This subject has plenty of material available already. If you look into it and swap notes from your own experience, that will serve your learning process well.
When you mix it up, do you split it—half into 1 vial, then freeze the rest? I’m trying to figure out how folks with the 60 mg vials make it last that long, unless their dose is really high.
Nope — it stays frozen until the moment I reconstitute. After that, into the fridge. How much I mix depends on the dosage, and usually I'll only do 1. Since there are 2 of us using it, and the next step is 5mg, that works out to 12 shots at 25mg once 3ml BAC is added to the 60 vial — 6 weeks of supply for 2 people. That's fine by me. Where we'll stop titrating is still up in the air right now. As you can see, I also picked up 30's. The 60's will get used first. And a good deal was something I wasn't about to skip.
As stated by Janoshik, the powder remains stable for "years in the fridge and decades in the freezer".
What's the reason for getting two 60s instead?
This is something I've been wondering about too. Right now my wife and I each use just 2mg, and the vials I have are 30mg. Since I bought a whole 30mg kit, storage is on my mind. At some point we'll likely be at 3 or 4 mg weekly, so storage isn't a huge worry yet, but I'd like to find out whether the freezer is ideal for keeping it long term.
I suppose the 30 mg vials work fine. Having 2 of the 30 mg plus 1 60 mg should cover me for some time. I may also get 2 24 mg vials from a different vendor.
What's the method for keeping it in the freezer? Do you leave it in the original kit packaging, or does it need to go into a different container?
Kits?
Right — the 24's go in J5.
Is there any individual or group that has run tests on Reta kept frozen for 6-12 months, to check how it differs from the initial testing results?
