Quick question, should fish oil capsules be refrigerated like many other fats?
I stick mine in because they say to store in a cool dry place, I guess that qualifies, especially in the summer months
I don’t beleive they NEED to be in the fridge. I have left some fish oil caps in my car on a hot day, the get a little soft and expand a bit, but other than that they were fine.

I noticed that mine solidified when I did this. Much like olive oil.

I dont think its a matter of how they look phisically if they get too hot. its more a matter of what happens to them at a molecular level as to how heat can affect the caps.
I’ve always kept mine in the fridge along with all my other vitamins.
They keep longer. It makes sense.
Some brands suggest refrigeration, some don’t. It’s probably better to refrigerate.
In my experience, fish oil caps are more affected by humidity than temperature.
