Why is there a manufacture (“MFG”) date on the bottom of my bottle, and not an expiration date?Updated 4 months ago

The manufacture (“MFG”) date at the bottom of your Seeking Health product refers to the date the product was produced in compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP). Because we do not print expiration dates on all of our products, we do provide the manufacture date for quality assurance when an expiration date has not yet been established by product testing.

We are currently working on conducting stability testing on our product line to establish expiration dates for products not yet labeled with this information. The Learning Center, product pages and bottles will be updated accordingly as results are returned.

Encapsulated, tableted and chewable supplement products typically retain potency and freshness for 2-3 years from the manufacture date under good storage conditions.

Probiotics typically retain potency for 18 - 24 months under good storage conditions.

Unopened liquid supplements typically retain potency for 2-3 years under good storage conditions. 

These are estimates. Depending on the product and ingredients, some may have a shorter or longer window. 

In the instance that a product is outside these windows, we may conduct testing for label claim and microbial contamination.  If the test results are favorable, the product's sell-able window may be extended.
