Question

Is passed expire date vitamins all right to take? It expired Oct. 2007. ?

Answer 1

It would depend on what they were, but I wouldn't chance it personally, best to throw them away and get some new ones :]]

Answer 2

It won't hurt you to take it, if that's what you are asking. Expired vitamins just tend to lose their potency over time.

Usually, prescriptions and over-the-counter products are good for at least 6 months past their expiration date... sometimes for as much as a year... but you're pushing it at that point.

The other thing you need to look at is if there is any sign of moisture getting in to the product. That will degrade it more rapidly.
