The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

These seem to work well. I couldn't decide between the orange and peppermint, so I tried both. I prefer the peppermint - orange, despite having allegedly only natural flavors added, still tastes a bit synthetic to me, almost like Dramamine, and didn't make a great follow up to just-brushed teeth. But both flavors are pleasant, and I love the sublingual option; it was recommended by Dr. Weil as the best method of intake. These ease me into sleep fairly soon after taking them. Also, I had planned to start on this smallest dosage and work up to 3mg, but I find I don't need to change. However, my sleep problems are fairly specific - if you have similar criteria, these may be the best option for you as well. "Traditional" sleeping pills like Unisom and Ambien leave me groggy and I hate that "knocked out" feeling (although I have friends who find they get more satisfying sleep when "drugged" - to each her own). I did a lot of research and decided to take this particular product for a few distinct reasons. 1) They are melatonin only. I have allergies and found that some herbal sleep formulas ironically made me more alert due to irritation from included plants like chamomile. I also wanted the antioxidant benefit of melatonin. 2) For use during cross-country and some int'l flights. I like that these put me to sleep but allow me to wake up fairly easily, such as when we're landing or there is meal service. It makes me uncomfortable to be completely "out" while traveling. Also, some red eyes are only 5-6 hours and don't warrant sleeping longer. 3) Help with jetlag - I use these to adjust to new time zones but typically am not on a schedule where I have the luxury of the full 8-9 hours required by more potent pills. 4) I work inconsistent hours and have insomnia, but often don't notice the need to take a sleeping pill until I've been tossing and turning and it's too late to take a stronger version. 5) You can take more or less pills depending on your sleep situation at that moment (see above...) I trust Source Naturals and have found success with these. Plus they are easy to take and relatively inexpensive. I'm still experimenting with dosage but I will absolutely buy these again in some variety.

I use these to get to sleep and need to take two tablets. They help and taste nice too. Unfortunately, because the suggested dose on the bottle is one a day and Canada will only allow us to buy 90 day supply, I have to purchase them more often than I should.

My experience with this melatonin has been positive so far. Occasionally, when I can't sleep ,I use it and fall asleep within half an hour. Previously, I have used melatonin tablets from another brand and would get weird dreams which did not help in getting a restful sleep, but nothing so far using these lozenges.

I take a slow release with fast release coated melatonin tablet before bed and sublingual if awaking during the night. With this brand, although it works and is the cheapest 1 mg sublingual, it requires generating saliva for quite awhile to get it to dissolve, which is something I don't want to do while trying to get back to sleep. I will buy fast dissolve sublingual melatonin next time. Melatonin seems to help about 60% of insomniacs, which seems right from the reviews on it on iherb. Found this doseage guide;-3mg at ages 30 to 40; 6mg at ages 40 to 60; and 9mg after age 60.
