Discard Vitamins?

I purchased some rather pricey vitamins which have no expiration dates.  It's an individualized system where I'm to take Magnesium Glycinate, Glucosamine Sulfat, Joint Support, and CoQ10 30 mg in the morning packets and Magnesium Glycinat, Glucosamine Sulfat, Heart Formula, and Joint Support in the evening packets.

Because these were so expensive I'd prefer to not throw them out; however, I've had them for over 3 years now.  Since there is no date...can I still use them?  I did contact the company where I purchased them and got what felt like a standard answer of ..."if you've had them for a number of months...you should throw them out".  Is this true or just protecting their company?

Can I use them?

Thank you.

Any medications or supplements that are 3 years old should not be taken. Yes, they are old and should be discarded.
