Just now I purchased 2 bottles this one probable and will start to eat it on April. I'm wondering about the date of manufacture and expiration date?

According to an article in the Journal of Pharmaceutical Science, 2006, 9 5:1549-60, by RC Lyon, JS Taylor,et.al. the stability profiles of drug products extended beyond the labeled expiration dates. Expiration dates are the dates, after which the manufacturers will not guarantee their product. Expiration dates are mandated by law. It is my personal opinion that I would rely upon the article cited above.

On the label of the bottle is a Lot Number. Just to the left of the Lot Number is the date through which freshness is guaranteed. The date is expressed as month/year.

Why wait, start now! This is a capsule vitamin for your eyes. We all need this for better health vision. As for as the expiration date it will be somewhere on the bottle, but I don't think you need to be concerned if you just purchased them. Usually in a couple of years after you buy. gp

I have no idea about consuming lutein beyond its expiration date. If your bottle(s) are past their expiration date, it might be wise to call your pharmacist and ask if it's okay to take.

I have never gotten any vitamins or medications from Amazon that were out of date. Most are good for quite some time. The date on the bottle is a recommended date. It doesn't mean the medication goes out that date. However, if you haven't used it by sometime soon after, I would suggest throwing it out.

Generally speaking the expiration date is about 18 months after production--- i think. Lol. I just got another bottle last month & the expiration date is January 2015. Yes, 2015!

I am not sure on the manufacture date but I do know that the last for a long time. One of my boxes accidentally got packed into the wrong box when packing the house, we found it 6months later and it tasted just as good as when we got it.

The expiration date is on the back label in the lower right corner. There is also a LOT number. The bottle I have reads Lot:1130119. Exp: APR 2017

I ordered mine probably 2-4 months ago. I just looked at a bottle and it says March 2017.

I checked the expiration on my bottle 03/2017. I don't think it's close to expiration.

When I received mine a month ago the expiration date is Nov 2016. It is so good can't imagine you would need to worry. It will be gone before you know it. I also like to make a chocolate sauce with it. Just add hot wTer and stir.

I received my order of two bottles about 2 weeks ago. One has an expiration date of 7/14 - the other expires in 9/14.

Hi, Victor...I can't say what date the bottles that they're currently selling bear, but I can tell you that I bought a bottle of this back in Sept. 2010, and the expiration date on that bottle was listed as 08/12, roughly two years. I can also say that the product stayed viable for quite a bit longer...over a year more (not that I'd suggest doing that, but y'know how it is!) Hope this helps. Take care -- Scriptwitch

The expiration date should be on the bottle itself. You just need to look for it.

My bottle states 2 years from manufacture date to expiration. You should be fine if you purchase for the next nine months.

The exp date on mint latest one is 3/16 along with a lot number. Since I have ordered this a number of times I can say each bottle has had a different date. I keep one bottle for a while and when I started taking them again and found that according to the date on the label they have about a 2 yr shelf life?

I purchased mine a few months ago (it's now April 2014), and the expiration date is 04/2015. My bottle does NOT say "90 days after opening" like the other reviewer mentioned.

Well, on my old bottle the expiration date is on the TOP OF THE LID, a place I think some are not looking at. However, before I buy more online I too want an answer on what I'm buying, so hope one of us does!

The one I have expires on 1/20/15. Besides, that is just a date mandated by the FDA. Food is usually good past the posted date.
