How do I avoid having the powder inside the capsule turn damp?
1968144
I used cardio strength for 8 months and bought 60 pack which usually turned damp the only solution was keep the box in cool dark place but never had issue with the 30 pack which I seldom bought until candy passed away .. another thing I did was remove three days dose an kept them in another bottle so I reduced the number of times i exposed the entire bottle contents ... hope this helps and hope ur dear patient gets well .. cardiac strength is quiet gud ... but mu doggie also took vet medin (Pimobendan)

If I am not mistaken, somewhere in the product literature, or online, it says it is normal for the powder to be moist. I used several bottles of it and all of them were that way, so I got used to it. If you are really concerned, you might ask your vet. or the manufacturer.

Some bottles come that way and some don't. It is a pain to dig out if your dog is not big enough to take the capsule but if you totally want to avoid that then I would suggest the chews. The chews are more expensive but every bottle of capsules comes with a dry absorb and still some are damp and some aren't. It's basically a crap hoot as to what you get but I believe in the product for it ha helped my dogs.

Maybe it's the L-carnitine. It's EXTREMELY hygroscopic. I have just L-carnitine powder, pure, and just opening the bottle and putting a spoon inside clumping starts to occur, I guess when it hits the humid air. I separate a number of doses into a separate container so I'm not exposing the original supply to the air twice a day but like I said, I still get a bit of clumping. If you come across any of those little moisture absorption packets toss some of those in to the container. Also, from what I've heard putting it in the refrigerator could increase this problem so it is recommended that it be put in a "cool" dark place, not cold. Maybe it's the L-carnitine.

As long as it stays in its powder form away from moisture, forever. However once mixed up with water in a jar - 1 month

I just had to tell you about Powders being sealed in any canning jars - Put a cupcake baking form -turned upside down (open area facing powder) then put lid & use Food Save Jar Sealer. - Or you might could use paper towel folded over. This just keeps the powder from coming out of the lid.I did that once (forgot to put anything over the powder - but just a little bit of the powder came out) - and yes it sealed very tightly which I discovered a week later when I needed the powder (was tapioca flour)

The capsuls may be sensitive to damp/humid air,so I suggest storing in a cool,dry place,I`ve used capsuls from last year with no problems.

I would suggest using the Xikar solution. The gel inside might not react the same way with distilled water as it does with the Xikar Propolene Glycol solution. Just my opinion.

Hi! Glad to hear your loving the taste :) We suggest keeping the inner lid prssure seal on and simply poke 1 hole out for the powder to dispense. This allows you to shake only the tiniest bit. Soon you will know how many shakes you use and can judge by sight. Much easier than having to keep a spoon handy. Not hard to do and when it sprinkles lightly its easier to manage. Let us know if you have any other questions. Diana

It is a capsule and it appears that one could pull it apart to release the powder inside. Good luck!

I only used a part of the glue in the container, which is a dry powder you mix with water. My container is stored in a cool, dry place inside a cabinet. I expect it will last forever as long as it never gets damp inside the container.

It will become dry. Therefore I add mustard oil to keep it moist plus put a plastic bag on. If not it will get hard and dry after the 2 hours in some parts.

This bottle in the picture is capsules. If you want powder form, look for the containers that look more like tubs. Powder is the way to go.

There is a plastic shield over the holes that you have to peel off. Then you can shake the container slightly and the loose powder will come up through the holes.

I have never had any problem with it drying. The issue is that you HAVE to make sure all of the embossing powder has melted when you hit it with the heat gun - and be aware that it takes the heat gun a moment or two to heat up... just because it's blowing doesn't mean it's hot enough. Once it has warmed up, and your embossing powder is on there, it should "dry" (harden is a better word) within 10 seconds.

Well remember the powder will be compressed into the capsules so I guess after sometime it can get pretty hard.I had prefilled some capsules with a powder substance myself before and after sometime when I took them apart it was pretty compact and hard.hope that helps

I work for the manufacture of Mag 07 and I have the same problem with the capsules! We have a powder that you mix with water and drink or if you already purchased the capsules you can break them open into a glass of water and take it that way.

I just swallow the capsules whole, they're a little on the large side but manageable. I don't know if it will reduce the effectiveness if you mix the powder with something.

There may be a fine white residue lining the inside of the bottle which is added to keep the gelcaps from sticking in moist conditions. This is normal. If the capsules are stuck together, or your dusty residue is heavy or not white, send it back.

You mean the propolis inside capsules turn to hard from the liquid, I take all the capsules were liquid status, I think! But when I took them before the capsules didn't break let propolis come out, but touch it softly. Maybe the temperature was too low below zero when you preserved it�I
