Excellent question - I wondered this myself. From what I know, the bottles are made to order because of their short shelf life. Once opened, they have a shelf life of 30-60 days. If not opened AND kept in a dark, dry atmosphere, I believe they're potency begins to breakdown after 6 months. Because of this, I do not buy more than one bottle at a time, but you can decide for yourself how fast you'd go through each bottle and buy accordingly. If anyone knows better or has other information, I invite them to reply to your question. You may also contact the manufacturer for their version of what the truth may be. Enjoy the product!

We keep ours in frig, but like you it's easy to forget so I use a pill box 1x wk. maybe if you fix 2-3 days worth of Rxs or herbs maybe it will be fresh. When you run out of that supply you can reorganize for the next 2-3 days. You could always check Jarrow.com for more specific guidelines. I don't see on bottle that it needs to be refrigerated.

The expiration date should be on the bottle itself. You just need to look for it.

According to designsforhealth.com "Discard after two years of the manufacture date. There is nothing harmful with the product, however, cannot guarantee potency after 2 years." I just received a bottle today that has a manufacturing date of 12/13. I am attempting to return or replace.

Should last at least a year at least or more. I keep my sealed in a container. I have had no issues with this product losing potency. Works as good with last tsp. as with the first.

I do not know, the longest I had an open bottle is about 1 1/2 weeks with no problem.

I have bottle in the frig and it's 6 months old - seems as good as brand new.

Just bought a bottle the other day (32 oz), expiration was 6/2017. That said, it's hard to believe the product expires if kept sealed considering the nature of silver.

I have been using it several times a week since May and I probably have at least half a bottle left. Hope that helps!

its estimated about 2 years but thats in a glass bottle. i really dont know exact. if you do not have anything strong smelling with it and keep it in a cool dark place i think this would probly be about the same give or take a few months. PG USP/EP has a shelf life of two years when stored below 40C (104F) in closed containers away from sources of ultraviolet (UV) light.

Good question. I assume indefinitely, but it am not certain. I don't think the contents are time sensitive. Maybe a google search on the chemical ascorbic acid would help.

I only stored it at room temperature. when taking it the bottle will only last a couple of weeks. good luck

According to the manufacturer, only prolonged heat exposure unrefrigerated will affect the potency and quality of the item. As soon as you receive your order, keep refrigerated at all times but can be can even be stored at room temperature (77F) for up to two weeks without having a major effect on potency. But remember, if it is left at room temperature for long periods of time or exposed to excessive heat, the number of beneficial bacteria in VSL#3 can become greatly reduced.

If it is left unopened and out of the sun, it will last years, when you use it, this bottle will last for about 8 - 12 cleanings. I notice a huge difference when I clean my razor.

Honestly - I've never had any left over for that to be a question. Sorry - I have used the same tube for 90 days and it was effective at both sittings. I doubt it expires all that quickly.

I don't currently have a bottle, but I'd assume it'd be good for at least 1-2 years before the shelf date, then likely a few months after.
