1. Dry environment
The storage environment of organic plant hollow capsules is critical to their quality. Humidity can cause the capsules to absorb moisture, which can reduce their effectiveness and may even cause deterioration. Therefore, it is very important to choose a dry storage location. The ideal storage location should avoid direct contact with water sources, such as humid areas such as restrooms or kitchens. Consider storing the capsules in a dedicated medicine storage cabinet or using a moisture-proof agent (such as silica gel packs) to absorb surrounding moisture. Try not to place the capsules in direct sunlight during warm and humid seasons (such as summer), which can better maintain the quality of the capsules.
2. Store away from light
Light can have a negative impact on many natural ingredients, including oxidation and decomposition. The active ingredients in organic plant hollow capsules may be affected by sunlight or other light sources, so it is recommended to store them in a cool, dry place. The ideal storage container should be an opaque bottle or box to block light. When purchasing, choose those containers designed specifically for the storage of light-sensitive substances. In addition, check the storage location regularly to ensure that no light source is directly shining on the capsules to avoid potential damage caused by long-term exposure.
3. Temperature Control
Temperature is an important factor affecting the shelf life of organic plant hollow capsules. Too high or too low temperatures will affect the stability and effectiveness of its ingredients. The ideal storage temperature should be between 15°C and 25°C. Too high a temperature may cause the capsules to melt or the ingredients to degrade, while too low a temperature may cause the ingredients to lose their activity. The storage location should be away from heat sources such as stoves or radiators, and avoid storing in the refrigerator, because temperature changes may cause condensation, which in turn affects the capsules. Check the temperature of the storage environment regularly to ensure that it is within the appropriate range.
4. Sealed Packaging
In order to maintain the freshness and potency of organic plant hollow capsules, it is important to ensure that they are in sealed packaging. Opened capsule packaging will be exposed to air and moisture, which will accelerate oxidation and degradation. Therefore, be sure to seal the packaging after each use. Ideally, choose those with sealing strips that can effectively prevent air from entering. If using glass or plastic bottles for storage, make sure the bottle caps are tightly closed. Avoid opening the storage container frequently, because each opening may allow outside air and moisture to enter, affecting the quality of the capsules.
5. Avoid odors
Organic plant hollow capsules are very sensitive to odors and chemicals. When storing, avoid placing them together with items with strong odors (such as perfumes, detergents, etc.). Strong odors may penetrate the capsules and affect their taste and effect. The ideal storage environment should be a clean, odor-free place. Consider using sealed containers for separate storage. Maintain good ventilation in the storage area to avoid odor accumulation. At the same time, clean the storage area regularly to ensure that there is no residue of any odor or chemical substances.
6. Regular inspection
It is very important to regularly check the storage status of organic plant hollow capsules to ensure that they are still effective and safe. Before each use, check the appearance and expiration date of the capsules. If the capsules are found to be discolored, deformed or have an odor, it is recommended not to continue using them. You should also pay attention to the shelf life of the capsules, especially after opening. Most capsules have a clear expiration date, and they may lose their effectiveness or produce adverse reactions after the expiration date. Keep good records to ensure that the capsules are used within the expiration date. In addition, if the capsules have not been used for a long time, you can consider a detailed inspection before use to ensure that they are still in good condition.
