Does this stuff need to stay sealed to work? will it degrade once its opened? (like, could you open and use some, and save the rest?)

This is something I haven't tried, so someone with more experience could possibly provide a better answer. Considering the package is mylar and for what the product is designed to do, it is pretty obvious that moisture would be the problem. So if you could reseal in a similar type bag and eliminate the possibility of moisture contamination, I would think it would work.

It will degrade once opened, and also with time. I can't comment on exactly how quickly it degrades but if you are dealing with a wound so serious that you are thinking about using a product like Celox, you will probably want to use it all anyway. If it's to control bleeding for someone prone to small cuts who is taking blood thinning medication, for example, you can get smaller packets.

According to the manufacture you have 3 Yrs after opening it; http://www.celoxmedical.com/int/resources/faq. Hopefully that helps.

It's pretty well sealed. You'd have to sand it first for a good result. I thought about doing the same but never enough time :-)

Who cares, if it is still vacuum sealed it's probably good, in the US they put expiration dates on things that don't even expire, a way to get you to buy new stuff. Tell Amazon to discount it because of the date, honestly, I think you will probably get current stuff. Will let you know when my new pack arrives.

Hi, on the side of the bottle there is a Lot Number and also a Best If Used by date. It does come sealed inside and outside.I have never had an issue with it not being sealed or with the Lot info and best if used by info on the bottle. Also once opened it should be kept ion the refrig for freshness. My Vet recommended this as it was formulated by a Vet and I love it.I can put it on dry food with no issues or mix in moist & even raw. I love it.If your animal needs a single source of pro-biotic this is not a good choice but that is only known with trial and error. I have my 4 cats on it along with 4 foster kittens and all are doing wonderful! Hi, on the side of the bottle there is a Lot Number and also a Best If Used by date.

to tell you the truth, I've not opened it yet, but I've used it before and I always refrigerate it and it keeps well for me for several months. hope this is helpful to you.

Put it in a baggie & keep unused units it in the frig and it will last many months longer after buying. Not the freezer. Let the one your going to use warm-up before using. BE CERTAIN your TRAY is DRY inside before applying also. &gt;I don't see an expiration or sell by date on mine. If it comes out easy/runny it's still good when applying. My extra I haven't used up yet was still good 1 month ago when I last used some. Never got an order that wasn't FRESH. Best it to order/use only what you will need over a 6-8 month period. 35% is the way to go. REMEMBER the key is&gt; DRY TRAYS!

Not sure what you mean by "sealed". Give me a little more info and I can look tonight.

It comes Vacuum packed so it's important to Refrigerate after opening to maintain quality.And If you have purchased a larger quantity you can even put it in the Freezer.

The substance absorbs water and it not intended to be kept after opening. Also, once opened, its sterility cannot be guaranteed after storage. Nevertheless, I have stored unused portions by simply folding over the top and have successfully used it to stop bleeding several weeks later. I keep smaller packages of similar products around to avoid having to deal with the problem.

Once it has been opened it should be kept in the frig as I recall. I would call the manufacturer or look on the label if you are not sure.

Kind of a funny question because if you use it regularly as I do, it will be long gone before it can expire...no? Love this stuff, it does the job!

No. It's basically an acid in solution. As long as you keep it sealed it will be fine. I keep a mild solution it a spray bottle for quick sanitation and have never had a problem. It's amazing stuff.

Absolutely no problem, keep the jar closed and you will be happy with the quality. Keep it in thd fridge, when you serve it, not too much sifup. Have fun

What I did was put it all in plastic containers store in cool dry placeand it stays fresh & nice.I use it few times a week with no problems. No need investing in pricy storage long as lid is on tight and in cool place.

Use half save the rest in a reusable container and you should be good as long as the container is seal

Unfortunately, the bag is not resealable. I simple repacked it into an old PB2 bottle than used a family member's bag sealer machine to store the rest. I think its shelf life will aide it to last a few months as long as you don't introduce it to moisture. I have stored it in the pantry for a few months in mason jars and it was fine by me. :)

I just purchased this product, and the packaging states "refrigerate after opening."
