Keep Your Supplements Fresh

Published by rozella under Food, Hygiene Edit This

It’s been part of the healthy lifestyle trend to nourish ourselves by consuming dietary supplements. The majority of people are particularly concerned about the type of supplements that provide optimum and effective outcome, but most of the time overlooks minor yet important issues such as supplement storing and handling while consumption. 

Here are some tips on keeping your supplements fresh: 

  1. Keep supplements refrigerated

Most supplements are required to be kept in a cool, dry place below 25°C, or ideally in the refrigerator. Refrigeration delays the process of the product getting moisturized, while retaining the product’s optimum potency.  

  1. Pour supplement onto cap, before placing onto your palm

The best way to pour out the supplement is by pouring it onto the container’s cap, and not directly onto your palm. In the event of any excess tablets than the required amount are poured out, it can be safely poured back into the container, without the contact of a moist or sweaty palm. 

Furthermore, hands can be contaminated with invisible germs, so this may heighten the risk of product contamination as germs can be transferred from hands into the supplement container. 

  1. Tighten the supplement bottle’s cap

Once the product is opened, remember to close the cap properly and tightly. The cap helps prevent air and water particles from entering into the container, hence keeping the contents in good condition.
