Proper supplement storage is essential to maintain their potency, efficacy, and safety. PureBulk offers a wide range of high-quality supplements, and knowing how to store them correctly ensures that you get the most out of your investment. Here are some key guidelines for storing PureBulk supplements:
1. Keep Them in a Cool, Dry Place
Store your PureBulk supplements in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Excessive heat and humidity can degrade supplement quality and reduce their shelf life. A pantry or cupboard in a temperature-controlled environment is ideal for storing supplements.
2. Use Airtight Containers
PureBulk packages supplements in resealable aluminum bags or plastic tubs with lids. Customers can purchase additional bags or tubs to store custom supplement blends or stacks. Storing supplements in airtight containers prevents exposure to air and moisture, helps maintain supplement potency, and prevents clumping or caking—especially in humid conditions.
3. Avoid Exposure to Light
Light exposure can degrade certain supplements, particularly those sensitive to oxidation, such as vitamins A, C, D, and E. PureBulk's bags and tubs are opaque and can protect light-sensitive supplements. Storing supplements in a dark cabinet can also protect them from light exposure.
4. Seal Bottles Properly
Tightly seal supplement bags and bottles after each use to prevent air and moisture from entering. Proper sealing helps maintain supplement freshness and potency over time.
5. Follow Storage Instructions on Labels
Pay attention to any specific storage instructions provided on the supplement labels. Some supplements may have specific storage requirements based on their formulation or ingredients. Follow these instructions carefully for optimal storage conditions.
6. Keep Away from Children and Pets
Store supplements out of reach of children and pets to prevent accidental ingestion. Use child-resistant containers if available, and always keep supplements in a secure location.
7. Check Expiration Dates Regularly
Regularly check your supplements' expiration dates. Expired supplements may lose their potency and effectiveness, so it's important to discard any expired products and replace them with fresh ones.
8. Consider Refrigeration for Certain Supplements
Some supplements, such as SAMe, diindolylmethane (DIM), or alpha lipoic acid (ALA), benefit from refrigeration to prolong their shelf life and maintain their potency. Refer to the product labels or consult with PureBulk's customer support for refrigeration guidance.
Following these storage guidelines can ensure that your PureBulk supplements remain potent, effective, and safe for consumption. Proper storage practices are crucial to maximize supplement benefits and maintain their quality over time.
