Fish oil supplements expire roughly 90 days after you open them. Light, heat and oxygen are the primary factors that influence degradation rate. Even stored in the dark, fish oil may oxidize unacceptably within a month of storage, according to a review published in the 2013 edition of the journal "BioMed Research International."

Tips:
- Don't buy more than a month supply at a time.
- Consider storing your capsules in the Refrigerator or Freezer which will slow the oxidation. This has the added benefit of preventing fishy burps.
- Capsules are more resistant to oxidation than liquid fish oil. If in doubt, cut open the capsules and smell them. Fish oil that has sufficiently oxidized will have a pungent odor, off-flavor, and possibly gel-capsule discoloration.
