Cod Liver Oil Capsules.?

Question

I don't know if anybody has any suggestions but,i have a sealed container of 60 capsules-400mg,also a sealed bottle of 60 capsules-1000mg.The 400mg has expiry date 8/2006. The 1000mg January 2008,it does seem a shame to chuck them away,but i expect that's what will happen!?

Answer 1

Please dispose them off, though you mention that the bottle is still sealed. Conditions such as heat and light also affect the medicines. So better chuck them away

Answer 2

leave them long enough and they tend to melt into one big sticky mess, mostly because the outside is a glucose shell (or sugar) its that which tends to be the bit which goes off.  dont take em.

Answer 3

It is a shame but the sell by date is there for a reason I would not take the chance.  Don't forget how long they have been on the shop shelf before you even bought them.

Answer 4

I`d say get rid of them, the expiry date is there for a reason. It wouldn`t suprise me if they have gone rancid. All oils have a shelf life...
