Question about Ginseng & Royal jelly drinkable capsules.?

Question

I used to see these in my favorite coffee shop & loved em. Today I spotted a case of these things for $10 in a multicultural food store. They're the little glass vials that you stick a tiny straw in the top and drink. Ginseng & Royal jelly. Though most of them are dark, some are a lot lighter in color (like beer), do these things go bad?

Anyone have any interesting info?

Answer 1

The ginseng extract won't "go bad" but may lose some of its potency over a long period of time. The royal jelly I'm not as familiar with, but if it is like honey, it can vary in color based on what type of flower the bees visit.

I would feel pretty safe using a reputable ginseng extract in a glass vial that wasn't more than a year past the expiration date. However, in a multicultural shop, I'm not familiar with all the brands. I trust Prince of Peace (aka HSU) brand. Here's their website if you want to contact them: http://www.popus.com/ginseng.html
