Ish, Nothing should have changed in the potency or absorbency of the calcium. I suppose they could have gathered some moisture, but not if sealed. Most everything has expiration dates these days. Most things should expire sooner but due to preservatives stay looking fresh for years. The key to Calcium is having it compounded in a fashion that can be absorbed. Milk and veggies are probably more easily absorbed than say, Tums. Even some types sold in health stores are almost worthless as they pass through nearly intact. My MIL has my book or I would look to find what is the proper way to buy calcium. Often, minerals should be grouped with other minerals or vitamins to increase the absorption rate. I don't know if calcium needs this type of "binding." Shootie
