Supplements: Keeping Them Charged

on 3/1/2009 by BIGDAWGWALK | filed in: Diet and Nutrition
We pay alot for our Supplements ,so here are some tips to keep the potent and charged.

Leave them in the bottles they came in. Most are opaque and keep light out.

Store the jars or bottles in a dark, dry place-not your bathroom cabinet. After light, heat is the primary force for triggering chemical breakdowns.
Keep the lids closed tightly to keep out excess humidity.
Don't throw out the small white packets that come in the bottles, They're desiccants, and they absorb the moisture that would otherwise attack your pills and reduce their effectiveness.
A few supplements need special care: Fish Oil and probiotics break down at room temperatureand need to be stored in the refridgerator. SAMe should be kept tightly capped in your freezer.
Keep an eye on expiration dates. Most supplements become much less effective the older they get.
