Shelf Life Of ND Nootropics
Original post in this thread

I came across a handful of open nootropics like racetams from ND that I thought were lost during my move. I’ve noticed bloating on some capsules but others seem I believe okay.
They got to be atleast 6 months old some newer and other bottles look even older possibly near a year.
Do you think it’s okay taking these? I’m wanna make sure I’m not taking it if it’s lost its use.
What they were answering

To elaborate: would the moisture and hardening have significantly degraded the compounds or is this a matter of usability? As in: is it mortar and pestle time and no worries?

No, it should not really affect things too much. It might just make it so that you need to take a little bit more, as the water weight would affect the amount of active per mg. Most things only hydrolize in acidic environments. So just getting them wet would not break them down. They would need to be wet in the presence of an acid.
