Do Multivitamins Expire and Are They Still Safe to Take

I suppose that makes sense. The more "processed" they are, the more stable they might be. Kind of ironic, isn't it?

I usually just buy smaller bottles now. I used to buy the 300-count tubs at Costco, but they’d always expire before I finished them. Waste of money in the end.

Dave, that’s exactly what happened here! It was a massive bottle from a bulk buy. I’m definitely going for the 60-count next time.

Bulk buying is a trap unless you're a family of five all taking the same thing.

Totally agree! I did that with protein powder once... took me a year to finish five pounds of vanilla. I was sick of it by the end.

Does anyone keep their vitamins in the fridge to make them last longer?

I wouldn't. The condensation when you take the cold bottle out into a warm room can actually introduce more moisture inside. Cool, dark, and dry—like a bedroom closet or a kitchen pantry far from the stove.

Exactly. Keep them out of the bathroom too! The steam from the shower is the enemy of supplements.
