Questions

  1. Biotin (B0301) was left at room temp overnite, is it still good to use?

    1 answer
    1. This product is shipped at ambient temperature and is relatively stable for the short-term. Refrigerated products that ship at ambient temperature are allowed up to 2 weeks for transit time. Provided that the product was stored properly prior to being left out overnight, there should be no appreciable degradation. Prior to use, inspect the product for discoloration, changes in solubility, and cloudiness of solution. These may be signs that the product quality has been compromised.
