Hihi! I realised my multivitamins has expired for 3 months and I'm wondering can I still consume it? I'm a BF mummy. Thank you:)

Based on this article (http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/health-and-fitness/health/is-it-safe-to-take-vitamins-after-the-expiry-date/article29218751/), it will not harm you to take the expired vitamin. However, the potency of the multivitamin will be lost and will likely lose its effectiveness. The article did mention that potency drop-off for vitamins is slow. As such, one to three months past expiry date should not be too far off from the original nutrient content, especially if the multivitamin is stored properly (following the storing instructions stated). In all, there will not be any harmful effect on you if you choose to take it, but definitely will not be getting the same amount as stated on the label.
