Tag: Spoiled vitamins

According to one recent analysis of omega-3 supplements, at least 45% of flavored fish oil gummies tested were already rancid. While true rancidity is a risk mainly for fat-based supplements, other types of gummy vitamins can also degrade and spoil, losing potency or developing mold over time.

According to ConsumerLab.com, supplements lose potency over time, and improper storage can accelerate this degradation. This is especially true for liquid vitamins that require refrigeration to maintain their effectiveness and safety. If you forget to refrigerate liquid vitamins, you risk compromising their nutritional benefits and potentially introducing unwanted microorganisms.
