How long is the powder good for once the container is open?

No where on the container does it say how long the product is good for once it is open. The only expiration date is located on the bottom of the container and is good for one year.

Most powders say 7-10 days and at most up to a month I believe. You'll go through the powder pretty quickly. One can only lasts about 4 days.

If you follow the directions of using 8 table spoon per serving, then it would last for about a week. Once the first couple of weeks, you start eating a light meal per day, then it will last a little longer.

That is the suggested time to wait. I waited an hour, lol. As soon as you remove it from the packaging it starts to expand. It's actually really fun to watch. There is a smell that it has at first that eventually fades within a few days.

I just received my jar and am looking at the storage directions now. "Best By 10/2014. Store in a cool, dry and dark place. Use within 3 months after opening or refrigerate." So what this says to me is that, unopened, it's best by October 2014 (10 months from now). Once opened, it should be used within 2-3 months if stored in a cabinet (someplace dark and cool), OR it can be refrigerated to last longer, although it doesn't specify by how much.

It has been awhile since I purchased this. This is a large container. Not sure how many "cups" of powder, but it's generally measured out in teaspoons or tablespoons because it is concentrated. It will last a long time.

My bottle does not say it should be refrigerated after it's opened. Perhaps the other responder was referring to another brand? I found this brand to be far superior to powders, particularly those that mix in artificial sweeteners.

I have not had it stored very long, but can only guess that as long as the container cap is tightly closed it should last for years as long as temperature conditions are stable and not too warm. It is however a petroleum product and the effectiveness in some petroleum products can deteriorate even if never opened over many years. I apologize for this non-answer, if you plan on keeping it without use for a long time you should consult someone with expert knowledge, I just like how it works and don't know about it's intricate chemical properties.

I opened a can in December 2013 and now I'm not sure I should use the rest of it now in mid-March, even for myself. The powder looks fine but I wonder if it would make me sick. It is an expensive product and I don't want to throw it away.

Lambie, I'm not sure. I transfer mine from the large container to a smaller shaker as needed.(I'm pretty sure you do this) I've only had my container for about six weeks. I guess if this happens to my product I will put it in a food processor to attempt to restore it to it's powdered state. Hope this helps.

Refrigerated after opening in a sealed bag. It should last until you use it up.......

There are two small tabs inside that you pull up on. That removes small piece of the plastic enabling you to remove a small amount of powder s you need it and the slide it closed when not in use so if the container gets flipped accidently there is not a ton of powder that could fall out when you unscrew the top for the next use.

The odor is absorbed once you sprinkle the powder and brush it into the carpet, then let it sit for 20 minutes. When you vacuum it up the canister will smell of the powder for the most part.

Usually for powders, shelf life is two years from opening. Expired powders tend to be more dry and flaky than new ones, so that's another way to check. While using an expired powder won't make you sick, it can irritate and break out your skin...

I usually leave the box opened for a ~3 months maybe 4 the most as I consume a LOT of it. I haven't noticed any problems in that timeframe as the little grains are as hard as the day I opened the bag and taste as good as the first day. I suppose if you can, use large jars of sorts to prevent too much moisture to get in the grains. Pablo

I keep it at room temperature in a cool dark place as powder. Once I mix it with water (to make patties) the mix should be kept in the freezer. I usually mix it the day I will feed it to the bees. I use the whole container before four months, and at least for that length the shelf life has been very good.

Indefinite...I bought mine well over a year ago and I would imagine it will still be something I'll have in my spice cabinet for another few years or so, at least. It's a powder like any other spice and should last until you use it up!!! I think the other answers are ok but, I know it will last more than 1 year from experience!

they are in a 'ziplock' style sealed bag and will last for at least a year, I would actually say longer but taste might be affected...doubtful the potency will change in bag. I actually had a hole in my bag and transferred to a mason jar. I too refrigerate some supps but not the bcaa powder...as long as it is sealed it probabaly isn't a problem but don't allow moisture to get in!

It is a powder and can be stored in a kitchen cabinet. If you mean how long it could be stored, probably a year or so. Not sure. Doesn't say on container. Customer Service is 800-232-0328. It recommends 1 tablespoon in morning and at night. There's 16 oz. or 1 lb. in a container. I take more than 2 tablespoons a day. I use it to boost my protein intake.
