So I ordered a Pomella 15g powder that is unopened but has best by date 01/2025. I still want to use it tho.
I remember seeing u/MisterYouAreSoDumb post about how powders have a longer shelf life than what’s mentioned (i.e. the standard 2 years after mfg). Just wondering if it’s the same case here.
Lot: POMS1011323

I don't think there's a single thing that y'all sell that would KEEL you if it were expired and you took it.
I've been taking some Rhodiola (3%, Green label, I forgot, Rosavins?) that HAS to be at least 2-3 years old, that I've had in the door of my fridge all this time.
It still works and no nausea or vomiting.
I even have some Availom DHA powder in the same door which is about as old and it did not harm me.
ROCKEFELLER PETRODRUGS on the other hand..

No, nothing would be dangerous when expired. It just wouldn't work as well. Also, people forget that most shelf life testing is looking for the point at which the potency drops by 10%. That doesn't mean it goes from working perfectly to not working at all. That's still 90% of the expected effects. I think a lot of people think of expiration of supplements like foods, when it is a totally different thing.
