What is the shelf life of this product? If it contains microbes that eat oil, can they "starve" if it sits on the shelf for too long?

Hi. I don't have problem with storing oil eater inside the bottle sitting in the garage. Keep it away from children & elderly touching chemical. Storing has not problem so far. But becareful if mix with hot water when use. It will be too strong for some plastic. Never use on stainless steel!

Sure you can. But make sure you store it in a cool dark and dry place. Essential oils, if properly stored, can last 1-2 years. However, if you are buying adulterated essential oils that are extended with a vegetable oil; these will become rancid faster and will not last for long; in addition to losing their therapeutic values.

Most supplements and pharmaceuticals have a 2-yr shelf-life and I have no reason to suspect it to be different for Chlorella. I myself would rather use up an expired product than throw it away and I have never knowingly suffered any harm from that, though my nurse-wife is horrified that I, an MD, would do that! God bless you.

Hi Jane and thank you for your questions. All of our oils will last indefinitely if stored properly ie. cap on tight and kept in cool dry cabinet. They also will retain 90% of their therapeutic value for up to five years when properly stored.

I had the same question, so I contacted the manufacturer directly. They were very helpful, and said that the product has a shelf life of approximately 1 year. We store it in the pantry, and it's just hit the one-year mark and is almost all used up, and in my opinion it's probably lost a bit of its original flavor, but it's still very good. Time order some more!

The supplier says it has a one year shelf life, officially, but is usually fine for a much longer period of time if kept in a cool, dry place. Make sure your seal is in tact upon arrival and if it isn't, let them know, they will replace it. There is no expiration date on the container that I have, though. They are very good at communicating in a timely manner, so if you contact them, you can expect a prompt reply and quick resolution to any concerns.

I'm in agreement with Mr. Milligan, somewhere near forever. In all cases, shelf life is affected by extremes in temperature. Personally, I try to rotate similar products on a 2 to three year cycle.

Oil doesn't go bad like, for example, milk. It'll lose some flavor over time. Even if the manufacturer puts en expiration date and you exceed it, there's no reason to throw the product away. Oil is a preservative for food items, like vinegar and salt, which don't go bad either. Taste it if you don't like the flavor after a year or so, don't use it. The avocado oil will congeal if kept in the refrigerator too cold, so if you just use it very seldom, pour it out into a container with a lid and either refrigerate it or freeze it and scoop out what you need.

As I recall, Coconut Oil can get rancid after a while, but I use this product on skin and hair, as a makeup remover and conditioner so it never lasts very long in my house. I would think you could refrigerate it to extend shelf life. If you are using it for cooking, after several months I would make sure that the flavor has not been compromised, but typically I have had no problems with this. Excellent product and so many ways to use it. The fact that there is no expiration date on the jar indicates it has longevity but there are also no preservatives in this product.

There is not a listed shelf life, but some other oils can be seen to have a 5-7 year shelf life but that is usually seen on "exotic" oils with multiple parts because they can separate, this is mineral oil which is a very basic substance which should not break down.

Hi Valentin Ignacio Pitashny,Our krill oil has an expiry of two years from the time of manufacture. Once opened, we recommend storing the bottle away from heat and light to preserve the omega-3's naturally found in krill. Hope this helps answer your question, and if you have any other questions you can reach us by responding to this comment thread or by email at amazon@vivalabs.com.BesaRegistered NutritionistViva Labs

Right or wrong, I just store it in my medicine cabinet. I wouldn't want to store it there for a year or more, but I get several months out of each bottle (4-6 drops a day). I never noticed that it got rancid or lost its effectiveness. Then again, I use it up, so it has never really had a chance to go bad.

That is the first thing that crossed my mind in considering 200 pack box. I bought one 2 months ago after I was satisfied the shelf life is long enough to make use of all 200.1st thing to look at is they don't print an expiration date on them. I reasoned that if it spoils within a short time the company would be obligated to post that information on the product or it' advertisement. Secondly, it is vacuum sealed in sterile packs much the same way as we buy dehydrated food in. Lastly the white powdery substance appears to be made of constituents that wouldn't biodegrade without the help of moisture and as it is sealed in waterproof packs is probably safe for a long time. I am not a expert on this product and most of my deductions are drawn from speculations made from what I observed but I would think 2 years would be a safe amount of time to give it. It wouldn't hurt to ask the people who sell it though if they have a way of contacting them. I wouldn't expose this to extreme temperatures of say more than 70-80 degrees. I keep mine on a lower shelf away from direct sunlight.

Hi David,Thank you very much for your inquiry. The reason we put a two year shelf life on this product was due to the Palm Oil in the product. After two years, it can sometimes develop off flavors and aroma.If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us directly.Thank you,Harmony Valleyinfo@rodelleinc.com1-800-898-5457

I don't keep mine long enough to go rancid but I make sure & keep it in a semi dark room that stays under 80. The shelf life is almost a year. You can frigerate it to last longer

We used it right away so can't tell you about shelf life. I suggest contacting the company. Sorry.
