Default Rlipoic Acid

I bought it a long time ago and only took a few pills because it caused me severe heart burn, but I kept the bottle.

Well, as our bodies change, and what not, I decided to try it again. Its been 3 days and I was soooo excited, not a single blip on the radar!!

UNTIL...

I looked at the bottle and it EXPIRED in 2011

what???? Has it been that long since I posted here about it or did I buy an old bottle??? geeze. bummer.

It is probably still good. Those dates are not always reflective
of spoilage.

Oils...they are the most likely to go bad. Aspirin products, too.
Vit C will oxidize with time. Antioxidants will eventually pick up oxygen and show it somehow.

The old R-form would polymerize and form a sticky non-absorbable chain. This new one is even more heat stable
than the old one. Moisture could be a problem and that would leave visible signs. I put extra moisture preserving packs in all my supplements. I don't throw them away unless they are "old".
You can recharge them with a hair dryer on low heat

If the capsules are not discolored or clumped inside the bottle is probably still good.

Still makes me fuming MAD.

I paid too much money for that bottle to have it already have been expired.

NOTE TO SELF: always check exp. dates.
