If stored in the freezer will the gel capsules burst? I'd like to buy 2 bottles, store one in freezer but fear something bad happening.... :o)

I can't answer this question as I haven't stored my omega gels in the freezer before.

I store my in the refrigrator. I'm a chemist and oil doesn't expand like water. My personal opinion is that you should not have a problem. Upon getting them, you could take a small portion out and test them a couple of days in the freezeer. they should last quite a while in the refrigerator though. Also, the manufacture might help. I love this product. hope you do.

It says to store in a cool and dry place. So, refrigeration should be OK, I think.

Mine came today and there was NO ice pack! So it has been in the 80's during shipment 6-18-14..are these worth taking? The bottle just says: Storage: refrigerate and keep tightly closed. My storage will be refrigerated but what about the storage before me? I will take these and see if these help. But for the price, if they were hurt by the previous lack of care for the probiotics, not a good purchase. And I will not purchase again and never know if they would have been good after all!

Hi there,If the packet still close, yes is good!After open must to keep it in frozen! I mean it in the freezer! If you keep with the same liquid they don't really frozen!

No, dont put it in the freezer. Just regular refrigeration will be fine, and believe me it will last.

Don't put the cap in the freezer, cover the container with plastic wrap when freezing. I actually don't know if it is freezer safe, but my lightcaps are always out doors and it gets below freezing in the winter (maybe down to 20F every now and then) and they survive. -Sindy

These if sealed with liquid contents this bottle would explode just like any other sealed container (water expands when frozen). If you were to leave a bit of space at the top then put the bottle unsealed in the freezer wait till it was frozen, then seal it, that would work.

The powder I do keep in the frig....not sure why other than it says refrigerate after opening on the jar. At least I hope it says that on the bottle. Now the capsules I just keep in my medicine cabinet and it is always cool inside the cabinet. Once we accidently put in the cupboard for a couple of days and the consistency was kind of sticky/clumpy after that.....maybe that is why?

I store mine in the freezer... I really don't know how much shelf life it has... I tend to use it up quickly...

I stored mine in the freezer for about a week before I used it, but only because I wasn't ready to use it right away. Before that it lived on my counter for a few days, but still worked awesome. Sorry this isn't a more straight forward answer!

I use the capsules. So, possibly they could be opened and split in half. I also use the gel capsules which obviously could not be split. I'm sorry I have not used the tablets. But I will say the supplement has helped me tremendously.

We keep ours in frig, but like you it's easy to forget so I use a pill box 1x wk. maybe if you fix 2-3 days worth of Rxs or herbs maybe it will be fresh. When you run out of that supply you can reorganize for the next 2-3 days. You could always check Jarrow.com for more specific guidelines. I don't see on bottle that it needs to be refrigerated.

Hi EM, Sorry but I did not get your message until now. It seems like your question went out to all our customers who have bought this before, but I guess nobody answered you. It did not come to us, so sorry about that. The next time please send us an email and we will respond right away. To answer your question, yes, you must store it in a cool dry place, away from sunlight. And make sure it is either in the resealable bag you received it in, or in an airtight container. It is not required to store it in the fridge or freezer. But you can if you want to. It is just that when you defrost it if stored in the freezer, it may alter the taste a little. However you will extend the shelf life for sure. Hope this helps you. Sincerely, Gillian Owner

I will be storing in the freezer. Because of the volatile oils (substantial) it makes sense to freeze in order to maintain freshness as long as possible

The directions say not to leave liquid in the bottle for very long. I assume you mean you want to put the plastic bottle in the freezer while there is liquid in the bottle. If that is the case, then no, you would't put the bottle in the freezer.

I never had your problem - I have had mine for a couple years and love it - got another tub so I can make larger batches. If yours does not freeze and you have followed all the directions to a T may I suggust your tub may be faulty. I read elsewhere that the gel inside it can go bad, don't know why but occasionally it does. May want to check that out.

I would not freeze these bottles. Some glass canning jars are made specifically to withstand freezing. I don't remember anything stating these could be used in the freezer so I wouldn't.Edit: Now that I think about a bit. I did make some infused vodkas that I kept in the freezer without any problems. FWIW

Mine is not refrigerated and is the consistency of water. Since I use 3-4 drops at a time, having a gel consistency isn't an issue.
