Can I put this in a pitcher of water and have it kill bacteria for my personal drinking water? My landlord has well water. He said it was checked recently. I have a reverse osmosis system. I would like to know if I can add this product to my already reverse osmosis water to assure no bacteria. Thank you Peace

I have kept mine in the fridge. I basically bought the Large bottle, with the smaller dropper bottle. I have used it since April, and have not found any difference in the product since the day I bought it.

I have had mine opened for about 2 years and it still is just as potent as when I bought it. Hope this helps.

Not sure, what I do know is some vendors recommend keeping it refrigerated. I see no issues with mine up to 45 days.

H202 is light sensitive and will turn to H20 if not stored properly. It can be refrigertated to slow down the change but more importantly store in the dark or opaque bottle. It should not be used to clean minor skin irritations as it does slow the healing process and will more likely lead to scare formation.

I ordered a fair-sized container around 3 months ago. I used it topically for about a month and a half on seborrheic keratoses, then took a break. I had good results, but when I went to use some of it again about a week ago, it seemed to have lost some of it's oomph. I will be ordering more, bur plan this time to order a smaller quantity. For my purpose, a little lasts a long time, and I don't think it keeps well long-term... just my experience. Also, beware of storing it in the dropper bottle. The little I had left was in a dropper bottle. Just a few days ago, the rubber bulb swelled up and actually burst!! I ordered a fair-sized container around 3 months ago.

Hi Cheri,It is suggested that you refrigerate this product after opening. If opened and left on the counter top the shelf life is 40 days. If opened and kept in the refrigerator the product will stay fresh and potent for many months.

I've had unopened ones sitting around for a month or so now, and they taste exactly the same as the fresher ones. Opened, I'd say you still have at least a couple of weeks. They seem to be a largely dehydrated product, so from my experience they seem unlikely to perish for a really long time.

Unopened, I would think until expiration date on the bottle. Once it's opened, I have kept it for 4 months and it seemed fine. Leave the cotton ball in there to help with moisture.

Once opened the shelf life is six months to a year. You don't have to refrigerate after opening.

The ones I bought last month say they are good through October 2015, but I'm assuming that's unopened. Once opened I would just freeze them!

4 Years is the shelf life. It is unaffected by opening it and using some. If it takes you 4 years to use this product, you clearly do not go outside enough. Some people use it as a back up and I would suggest using it in that last year and replacing it.

Well I bought mine this year and I have shared with family members and friends. Since it's only been a short while I can't really say what the shelf life is.

Unopened I think it should last several months. Opened and refrigerated, I have had containers last as long as 3 months (at which point I used up all of the gochujang - it did not go bad)

I'm sorry, I bought this a long time ago. I don't remember the shelf life. It was well sealed, so I doubt additional sealing would help.

Don't know the shelf life. You might want to ask the manufacturer. I kept it refrigerated after I opened it.

They have a long shelf life. I just keep them unopened in the pantry. Once opened, I store the opened bag in a gallon ziplock bag for several months with no problem.

I do not know the shelf life but after opening I have just kept it on cabinet the shelf, that is, I did not refrigerate it.

No idea. Haven't tried that. I haven't had a problem with shelf life, though.

The brand I bought had an expiration date. That date was several years. Mine have lasted at least a year if unopened.

Expiration date it is marked on the package. I ordered 4 times, each time I had 4-5 months of shelf life remaining. Until I open the package, it sits in the closet. Once opened, I put it in the fridge. I left an open package on my desk at work for a long weekend and 4 days later it was in perfect health.
