Can you eat Ejiao for 10 years?

Donkey-hide gelatin can not be eaten after 10 years.

Although donkey-hide gelatin is a traditional Chinese medicine, it can not be preserved indefinitely. Generally speaking, donkey-hide gelatin also has its specified shelf life, usually in a few years. After a long time of storage, its composition may change, quality and efficacy are difficult to guarantee. Even if it is properly preserved, the 10-year time span is too long. Ejiao is likely to be affected by environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, etc., and may deteriorate. Eating such Ejiao may cause adverse effects on the body, such as gastrointestinal discomfort.

With the passage of time, the active ingredients in Ejiao may gradually be lost or attenuated, and its original efficacy will be greatly reduced. It is not recommended to eat Ejiao stored for 10 years from the perspective of safety and effectiveness.
