# Storing Organ Supplement Capsules

Source: https://huntressorgansupplement.com/blog/storing-organ-supplement-capsules/

Capsules are dried food in a shell, and they keep the way dried food keeps: cool, dry, and out of the steam. The kitchen cupboard away from the stove is a good home. The bathroom cabinet is not, no matter how handy it is in the morning, because the shower fills it with damp air twice a day and the capsules sit in it.

## Cool, dry, lid closed

Keep the bottle in its original container with the lid closed tight, in a cupboard that stays cool and dry. Do not move capsules into a pill organizer for the whole month: once they are out of the bottle they are out in the air, and the air is what you are keeping them from. [Storing organ supplement powder](/blog/storing-organ-supplement-powder/) covers the same rules for the loose form, which is even more exposed.

## Watch the date, not the look

Capsules do not look stale the way food does. The expiry date on the label is the only signal, and it means the maker stands behind the contents until then, stored as directed. [Organ supplement batch and expiry dates](/blog/organ-supplement-batch-and-expiry-dates/) explains how to read the date and the batch code, and [beef liver capsules explained](/blog/beef-liver-capsules-explained/) covers what is inside the shell.

## The plain rule

Cool cupboard, lid closed, original bottle, and check the date when you open a new one. A food is not a drug, and dose, diet, and starting point differ, but storage is the same for both: keep it dry and it keeps.
