I purchased a 200 capsule bottle of vitamins. You take 2 vitamins a day so it'll last 100 days. My brother told me you shouldn't purchase a large bottle of vitamins because once you open and unseal them, the vitamins degrade quickly and eventually lose their effectiveness.

Is there any truth to this? For the record I bought Vitamin Worlds's Ultra Vita Man vitamins and sometimes get GNC's Mega Men vitamins.

First, store them away from light.

second, keep the bottle sealed.

third...in 100 days nothing much will have been lost...in a year there may be trouble.

Brother is not wrong, just extreme! Buy the bigger bottle (or 2 smaller ones when 2nd for 1/2 off is going on), cost less and it will still be viable on day 100.
