I never thought much about it but was reading on it last year and learned that after a month it is not as good. You guys probably already all knew this but I did not. I ordered a case and now the first of every month the bottle goes into the trash, it is usually still half full. I use it with my GH and when I started doing this I did notice a better effect.
