Can I use my Test if the vile has been in my car for a long time?

I bought some test a while back and I had a vile and a half left over. When I moved I threw it in my glove box and forgot about it. I wanna get back on a test cycle, can I use that test vile if its been sitting there for months. Temperatures has gone up and down and sometimes even over 100 degrees outside. Does that affect it?

does it look fine? if so it’s probably fine but could be degraded.
but it wouldnt hurt to toss it its not a huge loss
i tend to not use old gear or anything like that

Degraded as in still works but not as good? And tbh I havent checked it yet to see if it still looks fine or not, like it’s literally still in its box

Yeah heat can degrade it
Cold can crystalize it
If its not out of suspension it’s probably fine

I checked it today and the color and everything looked the same as I got it. If I use what I have itll save me about $100 tbh so im
Not sure if its worth it or not tbh

A few people have asked this question over time. Here's the best answer I can offer (copied from another comment): Important part go actually READ the paper if you can.

There's obviously only one way to tell for sure, which is to test an aliquot of what you have right now, but it's almost certainly good to go. This paper is supposed to be a study of how well a specific chemical method (HPLC) is at detecting testosterone cypionate and its degradation products. They took cyp and then did all the things to it that you'd do to degrade a molecule: lots of ultraviolet light, heat, high pH, low pH, and then exposing it to a strong oxidizing chemical (hydrogen peroxide). They weren't specifically trying to tear up the molecule, but rather to simulate what a vial of test cyp might go through if the person who buys it is a little careless -- leaves it in the light accidentally, doesn't refrigerate it, etc. Just "normal" abuse.

TLDR - it holds up MUCH better than all of the package inserts suggest, both to heat and light. And, when you do manage to break it apart, you're most likely to end up with naked testosterone as a result -- no ester, but not a Frankenstein compound, either. If you were to inject some lightly degraded test cyp, then, you'd probably get a little bit of PIP, a faster serum T spike from the test, and not much difference. And, based on how degradation kinetics work, a simulation like this is probably a good proxy for a small handful of years.

I can't source this claim, so assume it's a complete lie, but I've read that a timespan of teens to twenty years leaves you with something that could get you by, but wouldn't be wonderful. I've been tempted to do more experiments in the lab, but there's only so much that I want to mix my professional life with controlled substances, ya know?

However, add to all that -- it's $35 for reputable gear now. Shitty gear can cause a landmine-sized hole in your ass or delt. You be the economist on this one.
