Potentially impotent SN

What if my SN is 3years old but I still drink it?

If I increase the dosage (like 30mg instead of 15) would it kill me? Perhaps 50mg? Or more?

Because I read somewhere that a person took 50mg and died.

If you didn't open it before or/and you kept it closed (= no oxygen exposition), it should be fine.

Even after three years? I read everywhere that it becomes impotent after that period :/

I read everywhere

Where? on this forum or on chemistry websites?

On this forum, I remember reading that a lot when I was a simple lurker

I work in a lab and we keep stuff for a really long period of time...

It should be fine as long as it has not been disturbed. If you still feel uneasy about it, I would suggest simply make another purchase. The prices are reasonable.

I don't know whether it will be fine because of how long you have had it, but just jumping in to say that increasing the dose won't help. Its either pure or it isn't. As I understand it once its had enough exposure to the air, it becomes Nitrate and not Nitrite, which is not toxic. So essentially it will either work or it won't. You can't get around that by increasing dose.
