Why does it say discard after 28 days upon opening of bottle?I thought it has long shelf life?

You know, I didn't notice that. Sorry. I still use mine. Maybe it's just because the ingredients may not be as strong or active after it has been opened or risk of getting an infection. I just find them soothing for my ears. They probably have to put some kind of expiration date on it. Hope this helps.

I have no idea why, but I guess it's best to follow the directions. I now get mine free from the V.A. . Sorry I couldn't help you. Bob

My guess is that once it's opened, bacteria can start growing, and 28 days may be the point at which any bacteria growing becomes a problem -- like causing ear infections.

I don't refriderate mine, and never had a problem with it (and a bottle lasts me about a month or little longer.)

Other answers to this question say that the package says to refrigerate after opening. I do not have the bottle in front of me to verify, but I always refrigerate it myself.

Thank You for the inquiry. Both bottles I have left are good until May 2016. Shelf life 05/2016. Hope this answered your question.-Tyler

See back label: There is a drawing of an open jar with "24M" written in it. Clubman therefore recommends you discard the product 2 years after opening the bottle. I suppose that is only a suggestion :)

I just bought some, and it has a date of 11/15/15 on it (today is 7/7/14). Plenty of time to use it. Also, for the other commenter asking about refrigeration, the bottle does say "refrigerate after opening". There was more info on all of this at their website redboatfishsauce DOT com

I really don't know. But I've had a bottle on the shelf unopened for as long as 2 years before I needed it, and it worked fine.

Shelf life is 2 years. Do Not, I repeat, DO NOT purchase on this site. It is totally against compliance with Nerium International. Any Brand Partner will be terminated if reported & they do check. No reputable Brand Partner would sell it anywhere other than through the proper channels to ensure you have the 30 day money back guarantee & the "real" product. You will have no idea what you are really getting. I am so careful to destroy all empty bottles so they can never be found & filled with who knows what? We are not only protecting our customer but the integrity of the company.

Every bottle has their own expiration date. The bottles I've bought have an expiration date of well over a year. I bought a bottle a few months ago and the expiration is 12-14. This is a product that needs to STAY REFRIGERATED. Make sure the company you buy it from sends it in a refrigerated package or you might lose its effectiveness if it reaches room temperature.

If you haven't opened the bottle then it will last for a long time. I have had no problems with being unused for long periods of time.

I was given my first bottle by my sister, and I haven't had to purchase another one yet, so I do not know the average shelf life of the product. Sorry! I'm sure the manufacturer would be able to provide this information.

It varies from bottle to bottle. I never had a problem with it. Don't worry not expired for a couple years.

It is because Amazon makes us put an expiration date on the bottle. However, our manufacturer puts on the date the product was made. These have at least a two year shelf-life. We are in the process of real time testing to determine that. We don't make false claims about expiration dates which is why we use date of manufacture. Many companies just randomly come up with expiration dates of three years out or more. We are being conservative at 2 yrs. As we get our stability testing back (real time), we will be updating the bottles from manufactured date to expiration date.

The shelf life is, from my understanding, forever as long as you keep the moisture out of it. It takes me about 6 mts to take it but I keep it in a dark cool dry place. I put what I use in one container and keep the rest put up until I run out of what I am using from.

It's considered a dropper full to my knowledge. If you do it twice, the bottle will not last you 30 days.

I've used the product after six months with no issue. The whole bottle isn't meant to be used in one sitting so it has to have a decent shelf life.

You are right! I looked at my bottle and could not find an expiration date...I may purchase a different brand next time. Thanks for making me aware!
