N.O.U supplement lot code

N.O.U supplement packaging and date marks

Before you rely on the decoded date

• Read the whole N.O.U package, including the primary pouch, bottle, carton or tea box, and look for a separate short production mark. The Supplement, Floraizer, Joiner, Healthy Vinegar, Healthy Tea, serving count, ingredients and functional-food wording identify the product or its use; they are not automatically a lot code.
• Keep the printed expiry or best-before field separate from the lot. Shiseido's N.O.U product range gives shelf-life information for specific N.O.U items, but it does not publish a universal public decoder for every N.O.U production string.
• N.O.U gift packaging can combine tea bags and an original tin. Treat the set name, blend name, bag count and tin as packaging or product references, not as evidence that every inner item shares one manufacturing date.

Common lookup mistakes

• Photograph the complete N.O.U mark in good light and preserve leading zeroes, separators and faint ink. Record the exact product name, count, format and expiry beside it.
• For supplements, check the seal, odor, moisture, broken tablets, damaged sachets and storage history. A lot estimate cannot establish authenticity, potency or suitability for an individual.
• Use the Shiseido instructions and the package's food-label information for intake. Do not replace the printed best-before field with an estimated lot date.
