I keep them in the fridge at home, but when I take them with me, they just sit there in my purse all day.

did you buy them refrigerated?

Posted by: Katia7

yeah, but I've seen the same fish oil as I have being sold not refrigerated.

Posted by: goandykid

Capsules do not need to be refridgerated, however, the liquid oil DOES need to be refridgerated.

why don't capsules be kept at a cool temperature in stores?

Well - they do have to be kept somewhat cool (I wouldn't leave them in the car or anything like that).

But the soft-gel capsule cover acts to protect the fish oils... They prevent the reactions that cause it to go rancid when the liquid is left out.
