Storing vitamin supplements..how and where?

[Twitchet]

hi all, apologies if this has been asked and answered many times before but today I'm having a clear out of all old vits and minerals and restocking. I keep them in glass jars in The reptile shed for ease of use but I will have only half of each in use, do I store the rest in the fridge? I keep wondering if I have read the cold makes the powders spoil, maybe it should be just room temp in the dark?
Thanks for any replies.

Shoot stickytonguefarms a message on facebook, they will give storage recomendations.

I refrigerate mine, but do not freeze them. That goes for every supplement I use, Ca included.
Typically, the expiration date just means that potency is reduced and that doesn't mean they cannot be used further. Ca is fairly stable.
You could google the longevity and disintegration rate of the key vitamins in the vitamin supplements to be sure if you need to be replacing them or the loss of potency is negligible.

Thank you Drew- I'm dating all of mine but feel it's a good policy to out them after a while and get fresh batches, it's surprising easy to look at something and find it's much older than you thought so I thought I'd start this new batch using only some and storing the rest- I'll fridge them then- dark and cold , I just wanted to check before I did anything.
Hoping you are well and looking forward to news soon??
