Q: One of my products that I have been using for some time now has passed the expiration date printed on the bottle. Can I still use this product safely?
A: Most likely, yes. Almost all of the products sold at IPM are pharmaceutical grade, and many of them are guaranteed for the potency marked in the supplement facts box all the way up to the expiration date. In fact many manufacturers of high quality supplements will include 105% or more of the label claim for each ingredient to ensure it will be potent by the expiration date on the bottle. For this reason, if a bottle has been stored properly without moisture, light and oxygen, the product should be good for months after the date on the bottle. This is especially true if it is still sealed.
