The lowest temperature that dietary suppliments can be stored at to keep them fresh without ruining them?

Question

What would you say is the lowest temperature that multi vitamins, and dietary supplements can be stored at to keep them fresh, like if you keep them in the refrigerator , so as not to let them over heat at room temperature on a summer day? Is it ok to keep supplements and vitamins in the refrigerator?

Answer 1

Generally speaking, all dietary supplements should be tightly sealed and protected from light. This is usually not a problem since most supplements are sold in opaque plastic or colored jars or bottles.

A few temperature-sensitive dietary supplements, such as SAMe should be tightly sealed and stored in the freezer.

With all this said and done, the shelf-life of most, if not all, dietary supplements is much longer than the usual period of normal consumption or use. In addition, reputable manufacturers and suppliers conduct aging and shelf-life research and put expiration dates on their labels.

Therefore, simply leaving the dietary supplement in its closed bottle in a closed cupboard for normal periods of use will not cause any loss of potency.
