Testosterone "freezing"

Here's a question: Why does my pharmacy supplied (TRT script) test "freeze" and require heating to restore it to fully liquefied state, when my UGL test prop and mast (both E amd P) does not?? It's no big deal to deal with it, takes a couple minutes on the glass cooktop stove to make it ready to use, but the UGL supplies show no signs of crystalizing. So, what gives? What are the UGL'S doing that the "legit" lab isn't? Or vice versa?
 
Under ground labs usually use a lot more benzyl alcohol and benzoate which doesn’t freeze easily or at all that I know of! Whereas big Pharmaceutical companies likely know how to make it without so much damn alcohol lmao

I wouldnt think too much on that or let it bother me, as it sounds about right to me
 
Is it testosterone cypionate or enanthate?
You should return it or tell them about this next time. Probably not using benzyl benzoate.

It's cypionate. Happens every winter because it gets cold in the cabinet where it's stored. There's a message on the packaging saying if crystals form, heat mildly to return to solution. I already knew to do that, but clearly it's not uncommon. But I never had any substantial amount of UGL supply stored with it to notice any difference between products.

Yeah you can just heat it up and use it. But tbh that gear isn't "brewed" correctly. It should shouldn't crash at room temp.
 
From my experience, regular pharma test should not freeze though how cold does it get in your storage area? There are temperature recommendations on pharm grade test. No reason to keep it really cold, but it definitely should not be crashing at room temperature. I'd be asking my pharmacist to replace it if it was doing that to me.

To amswer your question about how cold is my storage area, I don't know exactly. But colder than normal room temp when outside temp is very cold. We run a wood stove in very cold weather. The master bath is way on the opposite corner of the house. So when the stove keeps the Tstat from running the heat, the bathroom gets mighty cold. And the wall the cabinet is against is drafty, so it gets colder yet under the sink, where I store my gear in a box. It's not freezing temp under there, but I wouldn't be surprised if the temp under the cabinet was as low as upper 40's.

If it's 5°C you should just store it at a warmer place.
 
so can i keep test in the fridge or if i wanted to ?

I think the whole point that we've been trying to say here is DON'T store your test in the fridge. Pharm grade test says on it "Store at 20 to 25 degrees C (68 to 77 F)." Lower than that, you'll have issues.
