Question
Can you still take the spiral algae tablets even if they’ve expired for a year? Previous treatment situation and effectiveness: Hello, experts, the bitter melon spiral algae has expired for a year now. Can I still take it? It’s a waste to throw it away, and I’m curious about how it used to help me. Thank you, experts!
Answer
I completely understand your concern. Generally speaking, whether it’s medication or health supplements, their properties and effectiveness are guaranteed within their expiration date. Bitter melon spiral algae is a health supplement, and the same applies. It is not recommended to consume expired spiral algae tablets: The shelf life of health foods or medicines is usually 2-3 years. During storage, the active ingredients will gradually degrade. Consuming them after one year of expiration will have no effect and may even cause side effects, so it is not recommended to continue taking them.
