Michael7979 Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 If it doesn't need to be refrigerated...........it won't hurt to do it anyways. The MD page says nothing about keeping it cold, that I can see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twitterbait Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 mine has been sitting out for months with no problems. I would expect them to put it on the package if it was necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JManrow Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Anthony Calfo recommends that Selcon be kept refrigerated. http://www.wetwebmedia.com/mandfaqs.htm Other sources say it's not necessary, and others say to refrigerate. In my experience, Selcon does eventually become rancid, so there must be some sort of breakdown. It make sense to refrigerate all liquid foods and vitamins. I would still try to use refrigerated Selcon within a couple of years. If it becomes rancid-smelling before that, toss it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
