Just picked up a bottle of Redsea AB+ and when I went to dose I noticed some brown stuff in it. Is this normal?

I think so. I would ask red sea but I think it is something in the carbs and fatty acids mix (part A).

My first bottle I didn’t notice any but my current bottle has some when I shake the bottle up. I’ve been dozing the current bottle for 3 weeks, no issues to report. I wouldn’t worry about it.

Thanks everyone. I ended up returning the bottle then finally heard back from Redsea today that it’s normal. Although the seal on my bottle was not broken, there was a bit of leakage and when we looked at the rest of the bottles at the LFS, they all had signs of leakage as well. In the end I’m sure it’s fine but a little concerning that the product needs to be refrigerated but the packaging contains enough exposure to the air that a small amount of liquid can leak out. The LFS told me that their last shipment was even worse in that all the bottles has significant leaking.
