injectable B12 - shelf life?

[AverageMan]

I pinned a few times and put under my sink and haven't touched in about a year. Is it still ok to use ?

I think you could call a health food or vitamin store and find out. If they have a qualified type person. Ya know most everyone just goes by dates an doesn't know shit. Many items can be used if only a year old if keep out of light and cool.

Try and Google it . ?
Good luck

I just googled this and I think it is BULLSHIT

It should have an expiration date on the bottle. If it is a multidose vial and it is opened, it should be kept in the fridge and then discarded after 30 days though, no matter what the expiration date is.

Is it Cyanacobolamin or Methylcobalamin ? I believe this will make a difference. ?

I hope it's methylcobalamin. And yes should be kept in the refeidge. Not sure bout shelf life but I'm sure it's still good. Maybe it's lost some potency from sitting that long but I'd still use it.

Thanks for the responses- it's methylcobalamin. Meaning it's not cheap. It's been in a cool dry dark place but not in the frig.

I've googled but no clear answers - all over the board. Was hoping for some real world experience from the good folks here.

I would use it if it was kept out of the light and not a hot place.
