Does Wheat Germ Oil really have to be refrigerated?

I bought one from Vitamin Shoppe and it doesn't say on the bottle that it should be refrigerated.

Yes, it should be refrigerated. It spoils within 8-9 months (I believe) even after being refridgerated.

Thanks. When you mix it with other oils, do you refrigerate the mix too?

Usually I use it straight up. Recently, I've been using it in a 'Kimmay Leave in" and I've just been sitting it in the window sill Hey, it's cold in Ohio

I didn't either. But, once it was opened it needed to be refrigerated.

I know this sound crazy, but Wheat germ oil actually "smells" like it needs to be refrigerated. I do admit that whatever I mix it with, I don't refrigerate the finished product, just the original bottle of oil.

I bought mine from Vitamin Shoppe too and I don't refrigerate it.
