FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How a supplement is affected by temperature depends on the formulation of the supplement. Typically powders and pellets tend to be more stable and can withstand environmental extremes better than pastes and liquids.

What happens if I leave my supplement in my car all day?

If leaving the supplement in your car, try to minimize the hours it is exposed to extreme temperatures. Leave a window cracked or use a sunshield. A small cooler would also be an option to store supplements in your car.

What if UPS delivers it and leaves it outside on my porch?

If you are having a supplement shipped to you, leave a note for the delivery company to leave the package in a shaded, covered area or provide a cooler for them to place the package in.

The label storage directions say to store in a cool, dry place and reseal lid tightly. What exactly does that mean?
