According to the website: http://web.singnet.com.sg/~ecloy/nutri1....
"How to store vitamins
Vitamin and mineral supplements should be stored away from direct sunlight, ideally in a cool, well-closed, preferably opaque, cabinet. They do not necessarily have to be stored in the refrigerator unless you live in a very hot place. To guard against excessive moisture, place a few kernels of rice at he bottom of your vitamin bottle. Rice is a natural absorbent.
If vitamins are kept cool, sealed, and away from light, they should last for two or three years. To ensure freshness, though, your best bet is to buy brands that have an expiration date on the label. Once a bottle is opened, you can expect the contents to last about 12 months."
