> FWIW--I just read something about this at my pharmacist's. It said that brands that add extra EPA or DHA are less stable--ie can go rancid easier, so should be refrigerated. The doc writing the article doesn't recommend the kind with added EPA or DHA.
Noa,
I know you can get refrigerated Flax Oil from a health food store instead of off the shelf. Can you buy Fish Oil that way as well? I suppose that all EFA's (essential fatty acid supplements) ideally would be refrigerated at purchase. I think they are all prone to becoming rancid. The only thing I am confused about is the idea of *added* EFA/DHA. Can anybody clarify (no pun intended)?
