What happens if I take an expired prohormone that was not stored properly ?
Well, there are high chances that nothing harmful can happen to you. The prohormone can either lose potency or it can break in an other compound (good or bad). The best idea is to never take risks with something like that even if you hear a lot of good arguments online.
If you can’t store properly a prohormone, you better resell it what is last of it or dump it in the trash can. If you have in your hand on a prohormone and you don’t if it have been well stored or not, you’re better put aside and buy a new prohormone.
A few tips to store and preserve properly a prohormone
Here are some tips that you can use to store a prohormone to limit the degradation process :
1. The fridge is the perfect place to keep a prohormone. The temperature is always the same and the low degrees keep your supplement safe from bad stuff. Just make sure your bottle got a good cap and you’re done. Get it out when you need it…
2. Vacuum sealing your prohormone (to keep it in a cool dark place or put in a fridge/freezer) is the ultimate solution ! You can use any vacuum sealer available on the market, there is no need to go for a professional one. By using this method, you evacuate all the air and your prohormone bottle will be safe from bad stuff (bacteria or anything like that).
Preserving a prohormone with a vacuum sealer
3. Follow the instructions written on your supplement ! All prohormones manufacturers suggest to keep your prohormone in a cool dark place. You got to avoid moisture et heat : a small closet should be okay to counter these problems.

List of prohormones and their shelf lives after expiration date (only works if you preserve properly) :
- Halodrol / Promagnon : 1 to 3 years

A lot of stuff were said about the shelf life of epistane-havoc. Some has often talked about a “6 months rules” for the storage because the prohormone may lose potency or converts into phera.

If your D-Drol was properly stored, I think you’ll be fine using it. The worst that can happen is that the effects will be less powerful.
You can buy prohormones on eBay and Amazon but make sure to pick up a good seller. In 2015, the most powerful prohormone available is MethylStenbolone.
I have 5 bottles of Cyamostane RX from ironmaglabs. I bought them in 2012 and bought 5 because they were about to discontinue the product. Anyways, the expiration says Apr 2015 so it expired about a month ago. All the bottles are still factory sealed and were placed in a box in my closet at room temperature. My question is: Will they still be 100% effective?
I apologize.. I read label incorrectly, I meant April 2014.. So it expired a year ago.. So will cyanostane rx be just as effective?
I have an unopened bottle dragon nutritions pro-epi.. It expired 09/14 can I still use it??
I have 11 sterone expired April 13, is that still safe to take?
Hey I have a bottle of epistane that was expired in September 2017 . But I’d still sealed and never been opened . Would It be okay to start a cycle with this ?
I don’t recommend
I have a probolan 10ml vial. use from my last cycles. Still have around 7 ml. Expired 11/2017. Can I still use it. All are kept it room temperature.
Don’t risk. Buy a new one!
I just open a bottle of Xtreme DMZ 3.0 from 12/2014 and it is now Oct. 2020….. The stuff is still good.
