Will the liquid inside oxidize? How is the capsule sealed? Are there any dyes to the capsule?

There are no dyes on the capsules and there is not oxygen inside to cause oxidationHouse of Nutrition

The penetration of air (and O2) into the capsules is minimal and the capsules are sealed by a machine. the capsules are not dyed (no red dye no. 1 or 2). The shelf life is about 2 years . Exp. 01/18. I doubt there are issues at this level. Mark Stearns. Herbalishous. Wayne, PA

It is a capsule but how it would taste mixed with something I wouldn't know. Sorry for your problem. I just swallow it with water.

I've noticed the capsules themselves stink when you open them. Maybe a capsule opened in your bottle? They capsules themselves have always stunk

It's a coated capsule and I don't have any problems. I've found if I take a BIG gulp of water I have no problems getting pills down. It is a larger capsule, however.

I've put bleach in it and it didn't damage the parts but I did not leave the bleach in the bottle for more than a day. I've had OxiClean in a bottle for anout 3 months and it's still working fine.

It is a capsule and it appears that one could pull it apart to release the powder inside. Good luck!

I personally like the capsules. They last longer than the liquid. And work just as well. I hope this helps.

Capsules are an olive greenish color- clear capsule so you can see the ground up leaves.Yes, the bottle was sealed. Honestly though, It didn't do anything for me.

When I smell the bottle it has an odor, but the capsule doesn't. I have never opened a capsule. The bottle should have a date on the bottom. I have been using them for a couple of years probably, and have never had a problem.

Hello, how long have you had the bottle? I've only been using mine for almost 2 weeks now and it is still clear. It does have Hydroquinone which oxidizes easily by the air and can turn a brown color, does not affect the bleaching effect...but this bottle is pretty air tight. I've had a 4% prescription strength in a tube for over a year now and that is still the same color. As far as a black color I have no idea...sorry

If it turns yellow it most definitely *is* oxidized and shouldn't be used. There is no benefit to oxidized vitamin C and I'd even guess that it could have the opposite of the intended effect. I personally stay far away from oxidized vitamins. That said, I don't see how a formula of plain ascorbic acid and water could be stable. It's a perfect recipe for fast oxidation.

ive had mine for a few months now. i just used it again about a week ago and it worked just fine. bit i keep mine stored the same way the bottles came with that little plastic cap then the regular cap over and tighten it a bit. i think the key is making sure the cap is on tight so no air can ruin the liquid.

Appears to be sealed, but who knows? Could be 'resealed'? At any rate, I've been taking them for a couple of months with no negative reaction.

None of the black words ever fell off. I even have two older bottles from previous orders years earlier and the older bottles are still in perfect condition with all the words still there. All you need to see is the mark that shows you how high to fill the container with water after you have first emptied one of the packets into the bottom of the bottle - it is a dotted line that goes all around the bottle near the top. First put powder in bottle, then fill with water. Then I put a finger on top to cover the hole and shake the bottle to make sure the powder is evenly mixed. Very, very easy to use, also. And the package comes with a booklet that contains instructions. None of the black words ever fell off.

Mine also doesn't seal airtight after the first time. You can seal it off with duct tape or something similar if you want to mess with that, or you can just use it as a primary fermenter and move your wort/must as soon as it slows down in fermenting. As long as it is kicking out CO2, you don't have to worry about oxidization.

Sorry, I cannot say. I did not buy this for myself. On the other hand, you can always open a capsule then pour the ingredients into any liquid. Or if it's a tablet you can crush it then put it into a drink. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
