I have multivitamins that have black spots covering them. I know its not normal because they are Flintstones vitamins. What is it?

    They have absorbed some moisture from the air. They are fine.

    The black spots can be caused by heat or humidity. This happens with age. The spots won’t hurt you, but it probably indicates the nutritional content of the vitamins has been compromised. I would go ahead and throw the vitamins out.

    IT COULD BE MOLD
    DO NOT TAKE THEM
    ASK FOR A REFUND and send them back to the manufacturer

    if you have taken any, and it is mold u should get a herbal liver cleanser asap!

    u could have an allergic reaction or get a cold sore or get sick

    protect urself with a liver cleanser or olive leaf extract
