Does Selcon go bad?

Check with the manufacturer but once opened it has got to be in the fridge

I have never stored mine in the fridge. The manufacturer site does not say that it has to be.

The manufacturer gains if selcon has to be replaced because 'the selcon may be bad'. This reefer may toss the old one and buy a new one.
The salmon or other fish oil capsules for humans do not say 'refrigerate after opening' either.
But, if you take a few fresh sunflower seeds, crush them and leave them unrefrigerated, within days they go bad.
That is the reason why it makes sense to refrigerate selcon. Just my opinion

I do not have a bottle with me but I recall that it is vitamin C in an emulsion of fatty acid stuff. I do not think refrigeration helps preserve vitamin C but I think it helps keep the fatty acid emulsion from going bad. On the other hand keeping it cool may effect the solubility so you would have to shake it before using it.
