Storing And Travelling With BreathiZen: Keeping Drops Potent

Liquids need more care than capsules, and five minutes here protects every bottle you order.

Three rules cover almost all of it.

The three rules

• Cool — room temperature, away from radiators, ovens and sunny windowsills
• Dry — a kitchen cupboard beats a steamy bathroom cabinet
• Dark — a closed cupboard blocks the light that degrades plant compounds

The amber glass helps with light, which is why the bottle is that colour rather than clear. It is not decoration.

Opened-bottle care

Close the cap firmly after each use — a loose dropper cap lets air in and speeds oxidation. Do not touch the dropper tip to your tongue or teeth, which transfers bacteria back into the bottle. Wipe the tip if you do.

A six-pack over six months

Keep the spare bottles sealed and boxed in the same cool cupboard, and open each only as the previous one finishes. No refrigeration is needed. Sealed bottles stored properly hold well across the whole six months — respect the printed expiry date, which exists to protect potency rather than to hurry you.

Travel

At 2 fl oz (60 mL) the bottle sits just under the common 100 mL carry-on liquid limit, so it travels in a clear bag without trouble. Do not leave it in a hot car or a beach bag — a few hours at high temperature does more damage than months in a cupboard. Check destination rules if you are crossing borders with supplements.
