Is refrigeration necessary? I've stored the product in my room for about two months, and the remaining capsules have a pungent odor.

I just read someone's response saying not to use ox bile. After having my gallbladder removed I was having horrible pain in my chest/stomach. I went to a gastroenterologist. He could not find anything wrong after performing a sonogram. I showed him the bottle of ox bile I was taking. He said other patients of his are taking it too. It's not a prescription so he cannot say to take it; however, since it is all natural, he does not see any reason NOT to take it. If you are having pains from having your gallbladder removed, it helps me to take one or two capsules then lay on your LEFT SIDE. I used to take multiple capsules a day. Now I rarely take them. They truly are a blessing to me! I just read someone's response saying not to use ox bile. After having my gallbladder removed I was having horrible pain in my chest/stomach.

Yes, I keep mine refrigerated to prolong the life. But when I fill my weekly pill box I go ahead and put the weeks worth of pills in it. Also we recently spent 2 weeks overseas and I took enough to last me and although they weren't refrigerated the kept me from a return bout with the dreaded cdiff.

It has a strong wood like smell. I like it, but you want your oils to smell like the things they are pressed or distilled from. If they don't have a strong smell I would question the quality. Now I don't think it needs to be refregerated but should be kept in a cool dark place for it to last longer. It comes in a dark blue bottle to help keep it longer. I keep mine in my bathroom closet. No problems...I hope this help :)

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

I didn't put it in the fridge after opening it because I didn't want to stink it up. It should store for up to a month, is my guess, but I used it all up before that time was over for me :)Also, I don't think you have to refrigerate it because it is made up of more fish oil and spices than anything else, even though it smells almost fermented but that's normal.

I don't store it in the refrigerator. If I am supposed to, I'm doing it wrong, but I don't see anything on the package that says anything about refrigeration.

It does need to be refrigerated, but the temps indicated on the bottle would accomodate normal transport. It's just not supposed to be stored at hot temperatures, basically. Room temp ok and refrigeration when you get it.

To be honest, maybe refrigeration is best. I got my bottle and could NOT take the smell. It smelled bad from the minute I opened it, and did not refrigerate. I tried to tolerate it because of supposed benefits, but I ended up emptying the bottle down the sink. It smelled like rotten bouquet of roses. I don't know if that's the way it smells or I got a bad bottle, but you cant go wrong putting it in the fridge.

I only stored it at room temperature. when taking it the bottle will only last a couple of weeks. good luck

I didn't. You don't have to refrigerate the capsules, so I assume you don't have to refrigerate the liquid. Best answer I can give.

The package says to refrigerate but I'd never even noticed that before. Mine doesn't seem spoiled even though I left it out.

Five or six months is fine, I think. Refrigerating extends the life by about a month I would say (though I've never had mine go bad really, just noticed a slight shift in scent).

It doesn't need to be refrigerated, to my knowledge. I keep it in the medicine cabinet on my vitamin shelf so it's out of the light from the overhead bathroom light.Good luck.

I'm not too sure what the shelf life or storage recommendations are but the pills are individually sealed. I have eaten one well after a year of buying them and it was still good. I would assume just stire them at room temp. I did

Not that I've noticed, but these probiotics should be refrigerated immediately upon being received!

the packaging may contribute to the odor. I am extremely sensitive to synthetic odors. You may not have that problem. Best wishes

I normally keep mine in an air tight container in my bathroom, but this stuff needs to refrigerated.
