When does this go rancid when kept in the fridge? I have had mine almost 3 months and have been spreading out the consumption b/c of price.

Your body doesn't store Vitamin C. You must have a continuous intake for it to do any good. I understand your financial concern but preventive health care is cheaper than having to pay medical costs for an otherwise preventable illness. I would recommend taking it as directed. Everything deteriorates over time in spite of our efforts at preservation. Use up what you've got as directed and try to fit it in to your budget. Your body only absorbs about 20% of Vitamin C from most tablets and capsules. However, it is better than nothing at all. I would recommend Ester-C as a possibility for you. Hope this helps.

It is kept in the refridgerator, and as long as nobody drinks from the bottle its good for 3 months. Alive is the best! I have been taking it for 6 years

I have been ordering this carrot oil for the last 2 years and LOVE it. I keep it I my cool (60 degree) basement and not inthe fridge. I've used all mine with in a year and it's never gone rancid. I not sure how much longer it would last. That said, I make products with it until it's a year old, and the products will last another year.

All fish oil will go rancid if kept too long. We process the fish oil very quickly after they're caught, which extends the time before it will go rancid. Be assured that if you use it before the expiration date, it will be fine. Thanks, Kurt - Young Life Research

I ordered mine on January 22 and it is still good, just used it on May 3. I am keeping it in the fridge also.

As I recall, Coconut Oil can get rancid after a while, but I use this product on skin and hair, as a makeup remover and conditioner so it never lasts very long in my house. I would think you could refrigerate it to extend shelf life. If you are using it for cooking, after several months I would make sure that the flavor has not been compromised, but typically I have had no problems with this. Excellent product and so many ways to use it. The fact that there is no expiration date on the jar indicates it has longevity but there are also no preservatives in this product.

I left mine in the fridge after making a batch, only using about half one day - and then used the other part about three days later - still fizzy. I don't know beyond that. Actually, I liked the taste of mine better after sitting for a while, it seemed to lose the after taste (I think it is the carbon brand I am using that does that).

That depends on how you stored the product. A whole grain flour such as this should be kept in the freezer for long term storage.If you live in a warm climate, and have kept the flour at room temperature for longer than say 4-6 months, it's likely rancid.Also, there can be a problem with weevil infestation....

you should keep it refrigerated all the time. It will turn rancid if you leave it at room temp.

Right or wrong, I just store it in my medicine cabinet. I wouldn't want to store it there for a year or more, but I get several months out of each bottle (4-6 drops a day). I never noticed that it got rancid or lost its effectiveness. Then again, I use it up, so it has never really had a chance to go bad.

Well, the bottles don't say anything about storing in the fridge. I have tried several different brands and none of them say to store in the fridge. However, I always put mine in the fridge with the idea that the oil will not get rancid over time. Also, in the past, some fish oils I have tried gave me fish burps if they sat out at room temperature, but when stored in the fridge, the fish burps didn't happen. I just do it now as standard procedure for any fish oil tabs I purchase. But looking at the bottle, there is nothing said about storing them any particular place.

I read it lasts months in the fridge. I had it in there two months before I froze it in serving size sections.

It can pass the expiration date and go rancid. I purchased 2 years ago and mine has NOT done that yet. Keep it in refrigerator to extend life of product indefinitely. Hope that helps...

Dear Miss Judy from Andrew Arrington I have used this awesome product for 2 years. Im glad you brought up this question. I had no idea about the manufactures recommendations of 3 months use and on the dry shelf that the product be refrigerated. If I got the question right? LOL Wonder if its also for refrigeration if opened or sealed or even both? Well Im going to answer just a a consumer. I note that the white capsules have a salty flavored capsule. Kinda reminds me of chewing an aspirin without the lemon squeeze flavor. Anyway... Since is a powder. It after refrigeration will in my opinion collect moisture and mold. Now let me remind ya Im just the consumer Captain!! Not the manufacturer or a Doctor of Chemical Physics And Physiology?? LOL So in conclusion. Wow manufacture expiration date. Lets see according to my research and my bottle this is what my findings and results are as follows... = Additional Info: Store in a cool, dry place, not to exceed 77 degrees Fahrenheit. Date on bottle is manufacture date, NOT expiration date. So if you store it in a dry place (walla!!) The product might last forever?? lol maybe?? I do have a question to ask you Mis Judy. If the storage is not to exceed 77 degrees Fahrenheit then why refrigerate? I wonder when its to cold? Anyway it works with getting to sleep. I open capsule and take it like a shot of bourbon and chase with a swallow of vanilla almond milk. Yummy! ~Andrew

All I can say is, I checked my "Best by" date and it was 12/14. I will probably go through a case by then. A biiger question is: Does it have to be refrigerated after opening. I don't know, probably not. I base that on the facts that 1) there is not a lot of refrigeration in S. Viet Nam and, 2) It is fermented. Nonetheless, I do keep mine in the fridge once the bottle is opened. I go through it pretty quick since it goes in 90% of what I cook.

I have kept it refrigerated. You should ask the manufacturer. I did find it aided my digestion, less gas.

I ordered mine around February. Just now, it's getting caked due to moisture. If you have it in a truly airtight jar, it should keep for a very long time. The little moisture-fighting packet gets less effective after awhile. But then, I'm just finishing it after 7 months.
