Question

Herbal supplements expiration date? "Ginseng Energy Now" code on packet: 45382 is it ok to take or expired

Answer 1

As herbal supplements are not regulated by the FDA, they can actually claim to have a fixed amount of agent (and in many cases they do) present in their supplement.  However, you got to look at the fact at best you're consuming a large chunk of corn starch or some sort of stabilizer/size building additive with a little bit of ground up ginseng root.  It will probably not provide a noticeable taste difference and the effect irrespective to the expiry date is obviously not patently observable enough to gain regard as a legitimate medicinal agent.

Answer 2

U.S. Supplements are supposed to have dates on them.  That is not a exp. date.  If it's a U.S. product and no date then it's old because it was made before dates were required...probably about 5 yrs ago.  If it's in another country then you have to call the distributor that's listed on the label (also required in U.S.) or go to their web site and ask them.

Answer 3

after that u shouldn't use it
