Augh, didn't see the fine print that this should be refrigerated. It's been

almost 5 days since

I opened the bottle. Thoughts? Is the bottle ok? Spoiled?

I am new at this.....

Just wanted to add, it doesn't smell bad. I think it's ok. I kept it

in a cool place--with my Omega 3 pills.

Does anyone know what age is appropriate to start giving DHA/fish oil

supplements? My son is 10 months old and has been only recently evaluated by a

speech therapist because he is not really babbling - well, every couple of days

we will hear a " ba " or " ma " sound. She did not diagnose him at this evaluation

but confirmed that he is " significantly delayed " and encouraged me to check back

with her at his one year birthday. We are signing and trying to encourage

sounds but I thought supplements might help him. Does anyone have any

experience starting these at an early age?

It's the oil, not gels. The bottle smells fine. Not rancid. Had my

husband smell too.

Fish oil is extremely unstable with oxygen - rancidity is the

number one problem with oil therapy. For two reasons you should not

give your child any more of the 5 day unrefrigerated DHA oil:

1. Fish oil not in the capsule needs to be refrigerated and even then

has a very short shelf life -one of the reasons the capsules are

superior. May be more of a hassle and a bit more costly -but the

capsules do not have to be refrigerated and stay fresh for 3 or 4

years (vs. 3 or 4 months once you open a bottle of oil) If it was a

few hours I'd call and ask -but it was 5 days. Even if it didn't get

your child sick -it probably won't work even if you were using the

right formula which you are not which brings me to

2. DHA is not what works for almost any of our children. Don't get

me wrong -DHA is healthy if that was all you were looking for. If

you are looking for surges in speech you want a formula that is

higher in the omega 3 EPA with a small amount of DHA- and a tiny

touch of GLA (unless you have a child that is one of the rare

exceptions to the rule) The top three formulas have been ProEFA,

EyeQ and it was all started by Efalex.

Now what to do with the old oil? Call the vet and see if he thinks

it's OK to give to your pets if you have any and mix it in the pet

food. Some pet companies are on it with EFAs today.

Then again -once your vet hears it wasn't refrigerated for 5 days he

may say it's not even safe to give to your dog.

not to sound nasty but if you opened a jar of mayo and left it out would you eat

it ? or feed it to your kids? i know mayo has egg in it but maybe there is some

reason that NN says it has to be refridgerated???? i am sure it wont be the

first $20 bucks down the toilet.

That's a good point. And I was skeeved out by the fact I left it out.

But, Mayo, milk...etc...smells rancid when left out. Since this is

really not the same product, and caplets can be stored differently---I

decided to contact Nordic Naturals. This was their response...and

hopefully helpful to anyone new with this.

" Thank you for your interest in Nordic Naturals. As for your question

it should be fine if it has been just about a week. I hope this is

helpful. Thank you for using Nordic Naturals. "
