The storage methods of food and nutritional supplements mainly include the following points:
Temperature control: Most nutritional supplements should be stored in a room temperature, cool and dark place. Vitamin products especially need to be kept away from light, while mineral supplements such as calcium tablets have high requirements for temperature and humidity, and are best stored in a constant temperature and humidity environment. Products that are easily oxidized, such as fish oil, need to be sealed and consumed as soon as possible.
Humidity control: Avoid storing nutritional supplements in a humid environment, because high humidity will cause tablets to soften or powder to clump, affecting the taking experience and effect.
Avoid direct sunlight: Direct sunlight can cause oxidation and decomposition of certain vitamins, reducing their activity, so nutritional supplements should be avoided in places where they are exposed to direct sunlight.
Use desiccant and avoid cotton: The desiccant in the health supplement has absorbed a lot of moisture after opening. If it continues to be placed in the bottle, it will cause the health supplement to become damp and deteriorate. At the same time, the filling cotton in the bottle will absorb moisture, causing the health supplement to become damp.
Pay attention to the shelf life: After opening, health products should be consumed as soon as possible to avoid long-term storage. Tablet health products may have deteriorated if they change color, feel wet, capsules stick together or soften, or powder clots appear. Classified storage: Use medicine boxes or storage boxes with partitions to store them according to the time of taking or type, which can effectively reduce the possibility of confusion and accidental ingestion. Regular inspection: Regularly check the storage environment to ensure that the temperature and humidity are appropriate, and clean up expired or deteriorated nutrition products in time. The above measures can effectively extend the shelf life of food nutrition products and ensure their effectiveness and safety.
