I was wondering if I can still take them.
Also in general let's if my ginkgo biloba or centrum pills expire, can I still take them without any kind of negative effects.

Yes, they will be fine.

I do not see why not, herbs and supplements do last longer than over the counter, because the manufacturers do not add any additives. It is because of the bureaucrats in the mogul pharmaceutical industries and their constant nagging that legislation gets passed over health food products, after expired dates, from the manufacturers of health foods, the vitamins are good up to a year, year and a half, keep them tightly sealed, away from moisture and sun. I have used expired herbs and vitamins myself and I am still here.

Most natural products only lose potency - this close should be fine because of the sell date usually factoring in enough time to use the supply while still potent

I manage a supplement store.You can take your supplements after expiration,but I don't recommend it.It won't hurt you, but your supplements lose potency over time.Moisture,temp changes,light.........ect.all effect the potency of your supplements.Take them if you want to,but you'll get more benefit from fresh ones.
