Can medicines which expired a month ago be consumed safely?

Question

I have few expensive nutritional supplements which expired in April (as in the label). Can I still consume it in May?Of course, consuming expired medicines is not advised. However, can't they be consumed just a few weeks after they expire?Are expiry dates really exact or they are an approximation?

Answer 1

Yes, it is safe to consume them. The expiration date on drugs/supplements, etc. is really to protect the manufacturer.
