How long do the sealed containers stay potent and effective?

I would suggest more than 6 months. It is a liquid and unlike my home made corn syrup and borax, this must have some form of thinning agent that prevents it from hardening. Because it is not poison rather a salt compound I doubt it would decrease in potency over time so as long as it is liquid it should be good to go.

I had 6 of these sitting in my garage (unopened) for almost 6 years. I opened 2 up maybe 1.5 weeks ago and it still did the job. These things are awesome!

I think they are good for quite a while, as they are sealed pretty well, and I don't think there is anything in the product that changes.

There is none. Unless the can is subjected to high heat or salt it will keep the contents in an unchanged condition indefinitely.

I don't know - the containers never lasted us long enough to be concerned about it! It's a dry powder, so I would think it would last quite a while without going bad.

I looked this up before I bought these and Ask.com says that the shelf life is 9 months on the individual containers. Once opened 7 days refrigerated.

As effective as the ones in a pill jar or vitamin bottle. more designed for long term sealed enviorment I think.

From my experience with this particular brand, once you open the spout you have a year at best, two years if you can tolerate some progressive degradation in its properties (thin viscosity becomes medium, then thick, then solid). I've also noticed that the less there remains in the bottle the quicker it degrades (due to air coming in at each subsequent use I would guess). I've stored unopened bottles in the fridge for over a year with good results, but once opened the clock is ticking.

i don't know for CERTAIN of course but unopened i imagine they last for years. once opened i keep them in the fridge and have had a bottle last a few months with no trouble. you go through a small bottle pretty quickly if you are using it for milk- it takes 20 drops to treat a half gallon.

There is a ton of info about this stuff on the internets of course...in addition to the detailed information that the seller provides with the equipment. I have been personally using this set up since I purchased it and have found that in mason jars in dark cupboard space it doesn't start to seperate (you'll notice a yellowed color) for a week or so. My understanding it is still potent if you can taste the metal. Also...you are supposed to store it in amber or blue glass containers.

I'm sorry, I bought this a long time ago. I don't remember the shelf life. It was well sealed, so I doubt additional sealing would help.

Just a guess would be around 30 or so . One container will last me for 3 to 4 months .

Keep them well-wrapped and in your pantry and they stay juicy for up to 3 months. It's a good value!

The package says it will be effective for 200 hours after the seal is broken. There is no expiration date on the package. After I open and wear a band, I seal it in a zip-lock type bag. I can use it for at least a week before discarding. I like to recycle the bands by putting them around my potted plants on my porch. They really have a lot of stretch. Hope this helped.

Personally, I find them not all that bad. You have to wait for them to dissipate, though. By wait, I mean read the directions and wait THAT long. 35 minutes is probably best for most water. They don't seem to expire..my stack is still good after 5 years, but use 'em enough so that they're at least somewhat fresh, just to be safe.

I keep mine in the pantry, and it should last at least 6 months well sealed and in a cool spot.

Should last at least a year at least or more. I keep my sealed in a container. I have had no issues with this product losing potency. Works as good with last tsp. as with the first.

As long as it's refrigerated, it will keep a long time. But if you're taking 2-4 a day, the containers don't last long anyway.

If packed in glass jars, a year or so. I've packed mine in glass jars with an oxygen absorber. It seals itself and I've heard that by doing that, the shelf life can be about 5 years.
