I think Peat advises to store progest-e in the refrigerator to preserve the vitamin E. So I asked Swanson if it was a good idea to store the vitamin E in the fridge. Apparently it might not be a good idea, but the reason is that the gelatin capsule might explode.
Heat can damage vitamin E, so if you live in a warm place, I guess you could put some cotton to absorb humidity from the vitamin E container so that the pills don't explode and the vitamin E is protected?
Thank you for contacting Swanson Health Products!
We are happy to explain. We don’t require our maximum strength gamma to be refrigerated. Often times, when you refrigerate a soft gel, there is moisture that could get inside of the capsule causing it to expand. Furthermore, if the capsule breaks, there could be very jagged edges.
