Lightbulb yes you can put in the frig.

Also to consider is humidity...this is very destructive.

Magnesium for example is very hygroscopic and attracts moisture.

If you have alot of supplements you can ask your chemist/pharmacist to save the little moisture grabbers (do not eats) that come in RX drug bottles.
The best ones are those from medications with coatings on them (or sustained release) since the powder of the drugs does not contaminate them.
Kept in a ziploc baggie, they stay fresh. You can blow them with a hair dryer too to dry them out before reusing. I use these on vacation since we are on the water, and it gets so humid in our house even our mirrors steam up.

Don't put supplements in 30 day (or other large) planners if humid... the air gets into those
most of the time. Many vitamins start to oxidize with light/heat..like Vit C or other antioxidants. Often they become discolored as a clue, but you can't rely on that 100% as a sign.
