Not really. Actually, calcium is a mineral and it does not expire as stated on the labels of calcium supplements. They can safely be taken even after 2-3 years of their expiration, only the potency will be somewhat reduced. They can be taken with a lot of water and some vitamin D.

∙ 12y agoYes the reason being, the vitamins all have something called b54 amobea. These are what causes the vitamins to enter the blood stream. Since the vitamins itself can no expire. The worst that could happen is if the amobea expires. If that happens nothing will happen so it does not hurt to just take the vitamins

Most of the time, expiration date, especially on dry supplements such as calcium, is there just for administrative purposes. Calcium does not go bad, it is just a mineral.
Most likely those pills are made of Calcium carbonate which doesn't really go bad ever. It is what many fossils are made off and they survived thousands of years...
