I just found a bottle of multivitamins in the back of my cupboard that expired about six months ago. They look fine and they do not smell strange but I am not sure if I should still take them. I do not want to waste them but I also do not want to get sick or take something that has lost all its potency.

Do vitamins actually go bad or do they just become less effective over time? I am in Canada and it is a high quality brand from the pharmacy. I am wondering if the minerals like zinc and magnesium are more stable than the vitamins like C and D.

Has anyone here taken expired supplements before? I would love to know if there are any risks I should be aware of. I am trying to stay healthy on a budget and I would hate to throw away a full bottle if it is still safe to use.
