Lara is correct....
And so is Sharky.
Things that oxidize quickly...should be in the frig. Oils, are in that category.
Probiotics are "alive" and keep longer refrigerated too. (quality ones that is).
Magnesium supplements are very unstable in humid conditions. Magnesium draws water to itself.
Most regular vitamins are stable at room temp. If that goes above 85 degrees F...then cooler is better. Light also is a problem, so cool dark, low humidity is the ideal. Vit C is light unstable. Normally with a regular supply bottle of most vitamins environmental damage is unlikely. If you buy ahead, several, to save money, you have to think about storage more carefully.
Also check your expiration dates, and don't use any discolored, falling apart items.
