I only open the bottle to get a pill, then i close it. but i noticed that theyve changed color since i cracked the bottle open the first time. does this mean they are less vitaminy? should i buy them in smaller quantities? I bought the big 250 pill bottle from costco of one-a-day. should I buy some coated ones instead?

sorry if this has been brought up before.

How old are they? They're just oxidizing, which is what most are supposed to do in your body. I'm unsure as to what the effect would be though.

i had one of those 50 tablet bottles, and just refilled it using the 250 tablet bottle, so it cant be more then 2 months old since i only take one a day and this is my bottle at work, so 5 days a week.

anyone know if the oxidation will affect potency? pretty much all of them are oxidizing, even the ones in my big 250 tablet bottle. maybe i will just buy coated ones for peace of mind.
