I'm nearing the end of a bottle of Carlson's fish oil. And its really cloudy, as if thicker, cloudier parts have been slowly gathering at the bottom. Anyone know whats going on? Should I continue to take it?

Are you refrigerating the oil? – CJ Sep 22 2011 at 0:47
Yeah, though I've never shaken it. – Eric S Sep 22 2011 at 1:02

Yeah, it's probably normal if you're refrigerating it -- it can happen when the oil is in colder temperatures. If it tastes OK, then I'd say it's most likely fine.

There's nothing wrong with it, just shake it up before you use it and keep it in the fridge.

Happens to mine, too -- I use SFH Super Omega 3. Starts out clear -- my theory is that repeated shaking before use every day kind of oxygenates the oil, and the bubbles make it look cloudy. Tastes the same. I don't worry about it.

Because it's cold.

Mine does this too. The question is what is the cloudyness and why is it thicker (ie not just cloudy)? I give mine a little shake each use and still end up with the cloudy stuff near the end of the bottle. I always drink it but have wondered...

I always took it as oxidized fish oil.
