Storing supplements
I've been taking advantage of MASS's sales and was wondering if it mattered how I store the extra bottles. Would it benefit to store certain supplements in the refrigerator to help keep them fresh? I would think some it may help where others it wouldn't matter. MPS, Adaptogen N, Gamma GH, fish oil? Congrats MASS on 20 years!

"Factory fresh" isn't just marketing hype, MASS doesn't let stuff sit for long. Check the manufactured date on the bottom of your MPS bottles, for example!
I'd think it would help moreso in the case of Adaptogen N, as Trib is hygroscopic (attracts water) and will harden over time. Still, I've used plenty Adaptogen N that's been sitting around for awhile. Always got great results.
I'll be as interested in the answer as you are...

The fridge is perfect for the fish oil, assuming it's the Ultimate Omega liquid we carry. ALWAYS store opened bottles of this in the cooler, BTW.
On the others, while preferable to a hot and humid location, a sealed refrigerator is far from the perfect environment.
Best of all is to utilize a cool, DRY and dark closet, storing the sealed bottles around mid way on the shelving space between the floor and ceiling. You want to allow some air to circulate for absolute optimum storage... dry and cool air. Avoid "sweaty" humid locations as well as overly hot spots, period.
Dry air conditions with an open circulating temp of about 50 degrees is ideal, but a general range up to 70 and a bit more is perfectly fine for home storage provided it's a dark and dry location.
