Yes, fiber powder does expire.
Shelf Life and Storage
Fiber powder, like Benefiber, has a shelf life. Benefiber, for example, has a shelf life of 2 years. Always check the packaging for the specific expiration date and storage instructions. Generally, storing fiber powder at room temperature (68°- 77°F or 20°- 25°C) is recommended.
Factors Affecting Expiration
While the manufacturer provides a general shelf life, several factors can influence how long your fiber powder remains fresh and effective:
- Storage conditions: Exposure to heat, moisture, or light can degrade the fiber powder and reduce its quality.
- Packaging: Once opened, fiber powder might not last as long as the unopened product. Proper sealing after each use helps extend its freshness.
Remember to always check the specific expiration date printed on your fiber powder packaging. Using expired fiber powder may not be harmful, but its effectiveness might be reduced.
