How long are vitamins good/effective after they expire?
I bought a large bottle of vitamins from Costco and they have expired... should I just throw them out, or continue to use them (and for how long)?

I would use them and post it here if you feel any ill effects. They are always conservative on expiration dates just to cover their butts. After all they don’t know if you stored them in the sun or subjected them to other ill treatment.

they’re probably still good for a while…..but…..there’s an expiration date on that bottle for a reason. i’d throw them out and get new ones….i’m sure nothing would happen but they’re probably not as effective…better to be safe than sorry right?

Throw them out because over time the vitamins can get stronger causing you to OD (over dose) on vitamins!!! Wierd but true.
DON"T FORGET TO PICK A BEST ANSWER!!!

I wouldn’t risk it, it might make you sick so I’d throw them away. I think that the effectiveness wears off and vitamins begin to break down after expiration.
