Rhonda Patrick: Refrigerate your fish oil
Peer-Reviewed Research
Key Takeaways
- Refrigerate or freeze fish oil to prevent oxidation (polyunsaturated fats degrade at room temperature).
- Store bulk fish oil in the freezer, then transfer a single bottle to the fridge for daily use.
- Choose fish oil brands with third-party testing showing total oxidation (TOTOX) below 10 for freshness.
- Avoid consuming oxidized fish oil – it’s harmful to health.
Notable Quotes
“You need to put it in the fridge and also make sure you’re getting a quality brand… You want to have a total oxidation ideally less than 10.”
Bottom Line
Store fish oil in cold temperatures (freezer/fridge) and verify its freshness via third-party testing to maximize benefits and avoid oxidized fats.
