Effect of improper storage on Sea Kelp Extract effectiveness
Question
What is the effect on the effectiveness and shelf life of `Sea Kelp Extract` if it was left at room temperature for about a month before being refrigerated, considering its recommended storage is 4°C to 25°C?
Answer
Regarding your Sea Kelp Extract that was left out of the refrigerator for about a month before being refrigerated, the product description recommends storing it in a cool place between 4°C and 25°C for a shelf life of at least 2 years.
Leaving the ingredient in unsuitable conditions, such as at room temperature, does not cause immediate damage but can accelerate the degradation process. This means the ingredient's effectiveness may be reduced compared to if it had been stored correctly the entire time.
As the staff advised, you can continue to store it in the refrigerator and use it as usual. While its potency might be slightly diminished due to the period of improper storage, it should still provide benefits when used correctly.
