i've received a few pills that seem to match regional reports, except that the colors are different. in the reports they are shown as blue, but the ones i have are a sort of spotty white and aqua. is it common for pressed pills to fade or discolor? if so, what causes the change? thx

Humidity and climate can change the way your pill looks. Make sure to keep your pill(s) stored in a cool, dark, dry place. Also, many pills are dyed with food coloring, and over time the dye will break down, making it appear that the color has changed.

Hope this helps you. :) Be safe!
