Just curious - I'm waiting for my shipment of art to come in but it has not yet. I want to start over the weekend- like now - on a Friday, when I like to start all my new meds.

I have some art that is about a year old - Does anybody know if it is known to become toxic when expired, or just less effective?

Thanks [Smile]

I don't know but I would like to know it, too. Still have some bottles here that expired in January.

From the research that I did, and from what I could find, it does not seem to become toxic but just less effective.

That is fine with me because I wanted to ramp up slowly anyway.

How'd it go luvdogs?

Are you still OK?

I'm in the same situation. The artemisinin I have expired in April and I'm thinking of taking it anyway, as long as it's not likely to harm me.
