Elevated Reports of Quality Control Issues from AstroVials
Date: 2025-04-06
Injectable Estradiol products sold by AstroVials have been having the following issues:
- We have seen an increase in the number of complaints on reddit and elsewhere of dust and debris present in vials.
- Vials appear to have above average oil oxidation. While not a problem immediately, this can result in vials going bad well before the 3-5 year shelf life typically quoted for vials.
- While it is not currently happening to our knowledge, there have been incidents in the past of AstroVials pre-selling products prior to their manufacture, increasing delays.
To be clear, we are not aware of any recent cases of deliberate mishandling of product or failure to deliver product by AstroVials. Most sellers will replace products if there are serious quality issues, however this may result in several additional weeks of waiting.
As a reminder, we vet homebrewers based on community reviews/feedback, third party tests, and lab conditions as reported by the seller. Homebrewers operate independently from one another and compound products in their own production spaces, and as such, quality and consistency is not always the same between sellers.
We rely on users like you to report these problems. If you have quality issues from any seller, please email [email protected], and if it becomes a trend we'll take corrective action.
