How to store organic plant hollow capsules correctly?

1. Keep dry
Organic plant hollow capsules need to be stored in a dry environment to prevent moisture. A humid environment will cause the capsules to absorb moisture from the air, which will soften, deform, and may even cause the internal ingredients to degrade. This problem is particularly serious in areas with high humidity. Therefore, it is best to store the capsules in a dry indoor environment. In addition, you can consider placing some desiccant, such as silica gel packets, inside the storage container to help absorb excess moisture. If you notice any signs of softening or deformation of the capsules, you should stop using them immediately, as this may indicate that the capsules have been exposed to moisture and are no longer suitable for use.

2. Avoid direct sunlight
Direct sunlight can adversely affect the quality of organic plant hollow capsules, as ultraviolet rays can cause the active ingredients in the capsules to decompose or become ineffective. To avoid this, the capsules should be stored in a dark place, such as a cupboard, drawer, or cool storage room. If sunlight exposure cannot be avoided, using opaque or dark storage containers is also an effective method. In addition, although transparent glass bottles are beautiful, they cannot block ultraviolet rays, so it is not recommended to use transparent containers for long-term storage. When purchasing organic plant hollow capsules, pay attention to choosing products with good original packaging to reduce direct exposure to light.

3. Moderate temperature
Organic plant hollow capsules should be stored in a moderate temperature environment, with an ideal storage temperature of 15-25°C (59-77°F). Too high or too low temperatures will have an adverse effect on the quality of the capsules. High temperatures will cause the capsule shell to soften or even melt, while low temperatures may make the capsules brittle and easy to break. To ensure moderate temperature, avoid storing capsules in places with drastic temperature changes, such as near heaters, on windowsills, or in cars. At the same time, it is not recommended to store capsules in refrigerators because refrigerators have large humidity and temperature fluctuations. Maintaining a constant room temperature environment is the key to ensuring capsule quality.

4. Sealed storage
Organic plant hollow capsules should be stored in a well-sealed container to prevent the entry of air, moisture and contaminants. Using the original packaging is an ideal choice because it is usually designed with a lid or sealing strip with good sealing performance, which can effectively prevent the influence of external factors. If the original packaging has been damaged, you can choose to use specially designed medicine bottles or sealed bags, which usually have good sealing and can provide additional protection. After each use of the capsule, the container should be resealed immediately to ensure the stability of the internal environment. Good sealing storage can greatly extend the shelf life of the capsule and maintain its efficacy and safety.

5. Avoid contact with chemicals
Organic plant hollow capsules should be kept away from organic solvents, detergents and other chemicals. These substances may contaminate the capsules through air or direct contact, affecting their quality and safety. The gas produced by the volatilization of chemicals may penetrate into the storage container, causing changes in the composition of the capsules. In addition, some chemicals may react chemically with the capsule shell, further reducing the effectiveness of the capsule. To avoid these problems, the capsules should be stored away from chemicals and ensure that the storage environment is clean and pollution-free. If the capsules are stored in a home environment, special attention should be paid to areas such as the kitchen and bathroom, where there are usually more detergents and chemicals.

6. Clear labeling
When storing organic plant hollow capsules, it is very important to ensure that the container is clearly labeled. The label should include information such as the name of the capsule, the date of purchase and the expiration date. This can help you keep track of the status of the capsules and avoid using expired or deteriorated products. The expiration date is an important indicator for evaluating the quality of capsules. Expired capsules may have lost their original active ingredients and may even produce harmful substances. Regularly checking the labels and updating the information can help you maintain a comprehensive understanding of the capsules. Using labels or markers to mark the containers is a simple and effective method.

7. Keep away from children and pets
To ensure safety, organic plant hollow capsules should be stored out of the reach of children and pets. Children and pets usually have a strong curiosity about new things, and they may accidentally ingest capsules, causing accidents. To prevent this from happening, it is best to store capsules in high places, locked cabinets or specially designed medicine boxes. In addition, educating family members about the purpose of capsules and the importance of safe storage is also an effective measure to prevent accidents. If there are young children or active pets at home, special attention should be paid to the choice of storage location to ensure that they cannot easily access the capsules.

8. Regular inspection
Regularly checking the status of organic plant hollow capsules is an important step to ensure their quality and safety. You can check the appearance, smell and texture of the capsules every few months. If you notice any signs of discoloration, odor, or deformation in the capsules, you should stop using them immediately. These changes may indicate that the capsules have deteriorated or become contaminated and are no longer suitable for use. In addition, it is necessary to check the expiration date of the capsules, and expired capsules should be disposed of promptly. Regular inspections not only help ensure that you are using high-quality products, but also allow you to detect and deal with potential problems in a timely manner to protect your health.

HPMC Hollow Capsules

Product function: The drying weight loss of HPMC capsules is controlled within 6%, and the molecular structure is stable, and the moisture requirements of the filling are low. When filling drugs with strong hygroscopicity, the capsules will not be ruptured. It does not affect the moisture of the filler, making the filler safer and more thorough in dissolution.
