How long should this last for before it goes bad? Does it need to be refrigerated in order to last?

It's a smallish bottle so if you use it daily it probably will be gone before it would go bad. But you could refrigerate it if you want.

To be honest, maybe refrigeration is best. I got my bottle and could NOT take the smell. It smelled bad from the minute I opened it, and did not refrigerate. I tried to tolerate it because of supposed benefits, but I ended up emptying the bottle down the sink. It smelled like rotten bouquet of roses. I don't know if that's the way it smells or I got a bad bottle, but you cant go wrong putting it in the fridge.

I keep mine in the refrigerator or freezer and i don't worry about it going bad. It will last a long time.

I never refrigerate it, I just leave it in the pantry and I've never had any problem with it going bad. But I'd suggest trying an ice cream scoop to get it out of the jar when it's cold. You could probably microwave the whole jar but I don't know how it would affect the quality if you kept doing that to the whole container every time you want to use it.

Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 months. In the refrigerator, it can last up to a year.

Of what I have read, it is not necessary to refrigerate. However, I do to maintain the potency and freshness. The vendor or manufacturer should be contacted for a more definitive answer.

Refrigerated, indefinitely. At room temp and cyclicly accessed and closed, I'd guess after six months if you haven't used it up, its probably lost alot of its charm other than saltiness. There's no fat or oil in there so spoilage is impeded by the salt. Mine gets used up before the thrill is gone.

Keep it refrigerated; it will last for months. I only use a small amount on specific "spots".

I've read that if stored in the refrigerator it can last around 2 years past the use by date and if you store it in the freezer I think its suppose to be 3 to 4 years.

it is preserved with salt so it can last a year or so in fridge, indefinitely if frozen. I got mine in early Dec. used some of it 12/27 and froze the rest. there was one review that is more detailed. I wouldn't worry, in the stores it is left on the top of the fish counter with no refrigeration at all.

It does not need to be refrigerated but I just started using it so I am not positive about the shelf life once it is open. We used the first bottle when we all were at different stages of the respiratory bug going around and it stopped or reduced it for all of us (me, my son, my mom and my husband) My husband started taking it as soon as he felt the cold coming on and never progressed into the full cold instead he was better before the rest of us who had the cold first which is what prompted me to buy it.

Hello,This is a product that is best used while fresh. When properly stored, you may look forward to a shelf life of at least a week.Thank you!

It lasts a long time without refrigeration. After you mix it with water, you want to use it soon.It starts to dry out after an hour or so. The package has an expiration date on it.

I have had it for over a year and keep it in a container in the refrigerator. You can also keep it in a freezer and it should last lfor quite a long time.

It needs to be stored in a cool, dry place. I've never refrigerated it. The jar I just received has a two year pull date; copy on the label says to use within two years of opening.

The company says it is packaged to last 2 years, but will last much longer if storedat a constant, cool temperature. Also, we regularly turn our cans every month or so.After opened for use, it must be kept in the fridge.

Mine lasts for several months - especially when refrigerated. I always run out before coming close to it spoiling.
