Is this oil stored at Amazon in a cold storage or at room temperature before they ship it?

if it is shipped by Barleans would it actually be stored at Amazon or is it simply using amazon.com as a route for distribution and orders?

If buying from Amazon (Prime fulfilled) then it likely doesn't matter whether this oil stored cold. Amazon warehouses have *very* high turnover for grocery products like this. Short term warm storage won't harm the oil. "Either high heat (over 300 degrees F) or sustained heat over a very long period of time can degrade Omega-3 oils. The relatively short transit times and variable seasonal temperatures encountered during transit have been found to be insignificant when tested extensively. Even shipments arriving in summer heat waves can be assured as being potent and undamaged." -- Barleans.com FAQ If buying from Amazon (Prime fulfilled) then it likely doesn't matter whether this oil stored cold.

Dr. Mecola suggest IT NOT BE STORED in refrigerator. It is actually an oil you can see floating in capsule. I did for a time put mine in the fridge, but noticed how the oil in capsule hardened. It did soften when taken out of fridge though, while sitting at room temp. I noticed then on his website where the doctor suggests storing it at room temp.

we save our oil in the same plastic bottle we purchased. we strain the oil cool it off and store it in our pantry.

Mine did not arrive refrigerated, I just refrigerated after opening. I've seen reference to the need to keep flax oil refrigerated at all times, but it is my understanding that even the big name brand, if asked, will say it is not necessary until opened.

The Enfamil website says to store cans unopened at room temperatue and to use by date on bottom of carton/can. I would look into the Amazon scheduling program "Subscribe and Save". This way you can set up automatic delivery as needed and perhaps stay in contact so you know when to move up to the next stage or to find out if it's being used more slowly or more fast than originally thought. It's a great program, you can change the delivery day as needed.

This is fish oil. It can go bad. I refrigerate mine after opening, but it starts out viscous at room temp and gets even thicker when refrigerated, so you have to thaw it out for a while. It's really fishy too - go figure.

It is organic and cold pressed, but I believe there is some refining involved to turn it into liquid form. Unrefined coconut oil is solid at room temperature. This is not solid. However, that does not make it unsafe.

Hello Wanda... thank you for your inquiry. Barlean's products are designed to not have to be refrigerated for storing and/or shipping. Here's what it says on their website: Do you ship the oil refrigerated? Does the transit time affect the oils? Either high heat (over 300 degrees F) or sustained heat over a very long period of time can degrade Omega-3 oils. The relatively short transit times and variable seasonal temperatures encountered during transit have been found to be insignificant when tested extensively. Even shipments arriving in summer heat waves can be assured as being potent and undamaged. However, after the product has been opened. Barlean's Flax oil, fish oils and Omega Swirls should be refrigerated in your home. I don't know why some Grocery retailers sometimes refrigerate and others do not. To make matters a little more confusion... I couldn't find anywhere on the label where it says to refrigerate after opening. For me, I keep a bottle of the lemon swirl at my desk (not refrigerated) for my daily dose and it always taste great! I hope this information is helpful to you.. Have a great day! IWe appreciate to opportunity to help you... If you order, Please choose NutraScience to order your Barlean's products! Best regards, NutraScience Customer Care Team.

Yes...BUT... Like all unprocessed oils cold preserves the integrity of the omega 3 content (I keep mine in the freezer for maximum preservation because it stays liquid), however, unlike most perishables it does not need continuous cold to prevent spoiling. This is why it can be shipped in a normal box. As long as it is kept cold most of the time and especially after it is opened it will be fine (same goes for flax oil). If it gets warm after opening it needs to be used up pretty quick or it will start to go bad. I recommend alternating between hemp and flax for maximum omega fatty acid nutrition.

No, the label does not indicate that the product needs to be refrigerated. The label does state, "Once opened, we recommend using the oil within 30 days. To help maintain freshness, store in a cool, dry location away from the stove and other heating appliances. If your home is above 85 degrees and you cannot store it at a cooler temperature, it is wise to use refrigeration." I hope this additional information helps. Thank you. Trafalgar Associates

Think about a panof used oil sitting on the stove after you have used it. Same thing, not convenient for me to refigerate. It is suggested you keep oil in airtight container, I have covered with saran wrap when Iknew I would be using again in a couple days. Usually just pour it back in the bottle can be used 6-9 times before I toss it.

Unfortunately, Swanson Health Products does not ship any products in cooled environments or dry ice. If a product requires refrigeration, it is stored as such in our warehouse. We have found that delivery the time frame is not long enough to damage the quality or potency. -Swanson Health Products

Butter Oil is shelf stable. You can store it in the refrigerator if it takes you a while to finish it which will keep the butter oil from getting a stronger flavor but it also makes it thicker.

I prefer storing the oil in glass, especially dark glass. I use the 2 liters in a month and often store portions of it in different dark glass containers.

yes, that is correct. Almost anything containing type of oil should be stored in the refrigerator after opening. Some exceptions are coconut oil and to a degree olive oil, as these are more stable and will not go rancid as easily as many other oils.

I do not store my Rose-hip oil in the refrigerator. It can be safely stored in the cool dark areas of your bathroom medicine cabinet or other cool cabinets or storage areas. Refrigeration will cause the oil to possibly solidify, so room temperature in cool darkened areas would be best. Enjoy! I love my Rose-hip oil.

Unopened it stores in the pantry. Opened I put it in the refrigerator, but I have a grease pot next to my stove that gets a lot of use. Grease stores at room temp a pretty long time even opened.
