Is it okay to take expired vitamins?  

I believe that it is safe not to take vitamins tha has expired for even a day. I have read of so many victims of expired vitamins and medicines and the consequence is far more expensive than buying a new one. It may be time to eat those vegetables that you missed during those times that you concentrated on canned goods. Have a wonderful and prosperous day ahead.

I always pay attention on expired time for my food and medicine. However my husband doesn’t care. He sometimes had food expired.
In your case I don’t think it will have any risk when you take the expired Vitamin products, especially it just expires two months. However I also don’t think the Vitamin will help you with your hair problem. You might need some special material for your hair from food or something else, but not ordinary Vitamine.

If they really only expired two months ago they should still be safe.

They do not "magically" go bad overnight on their expiration date. But, that is the date that the companies will not guarantee them past. After that time the ingrediants may start breaking down. This is especially true if they have been opened or stored at high temperatures in bright light instead of in a cool dark place.

Only you know how they have been stored. Also, look the tablets over. Is there any discoloration or spots on them? Are they crumbly to the touch? Are they sticking together? If any of those things are true - toss them and get some new ones - a small bottle of multivitamins does not cost much.

I think that if its been expired for up to a month, then its okay. But after that, its going to be toxic.

You want to take expired vitamins? Go ahead, take them to the nearest trash can and dump them. If YOU want to take the expired vitamins you may join the list of the expired or worse the wait list. Just get rid of those vitamins okay? You are in enough trouble with cheap canned food. You don't need to complicate the issue by taking unsafe medication. After all it is not for nothing that that an expiry date has been marked.

Usually the BB date is used to let customers know that this product may not be good any longer (such as milk will go bad etc. Such things such as medicine and vitamens should not be taken after the expiry date. Its best to go buy more vitamens and consult your doctor or pharmacists prior to taking anything new.

hi aNimegirl no dont take expired anything especially not vitmins
as they deteiorate fast after the e date.Its best to be safe
not sorry when its something that you swallow or eat or drink.
expiration dates are there for a purpose so head them.In the
case of vitamins they probably get too strong and that would not
be safe. you can overdose on some vitamins.

Oh, I would definitely not advise you to take those expired vitamins, I am not a doctor though. It's better be safe than sorry. You don't want to have a trip to the hospital because of taking expired vitamins, do you? Hospital bill surely cost an arm a leg, my friend.

even if vitamins generally have efficacy even after their expiration date, it is better not to take these vitamins. because i suspect that they were exposed to moisture or hot temperature. but if these vitamins are not branded ones, i'm sure their efficacy has been reduced way before their expiration date. also, bear in mind these vitamins have chemical coatings that doesn't last in a long time. ingesting them will give you a bum stomach at least, or even a headache. so, no, i don't recommend you taking expired vitamins.

I think you'd better not do so. Expired vitamins may have some bad effect on your health. Have a nice day!
