The storage question, answered as the four rules — because the shelf life the next FAQ asks about is the reward for the discipline this FAQ describes.
The short answer
The four rules: sealed after every use, cool and stable (a closet or drawer — a refrigerator is not necessary for a sealed solid dose, and the door-opening condensation cycle is a worse environment than a stable drawer), out of direct light (the original pouch is the light barrier — store the pouch, not the loose pieces), and out of reach of anyone under 21 in the household. The full rules list is the storage guide, and the shelf-life read it supports is the shelf life post.
Why the seal is the first rule, not a formality
The ambient humidity is the silent accelerant: it degrades the matrix without any visible change for a long time, which is why the seal ranks first in a system where the eye check is necessary but not sufficient (the shelf life post is the read on what “in spec” means and how to check it). The one format detail that matters: the chewable base is more hygroscopic than the tablet — it absorbs ambient moisture faster — so a chewable punishes a lazy seal more than a tablet does (the format comparison notes the difference). The household rule is the 21+ standard extending past the door: the age verification post describes the two-gate standard, and the storage rule is its third expression — sealed and away from anyone under 21, not just the purchaser. For bulk orders, the pairing is the rotation math: the order should clear inside the date window for the oldest pack, which is the bulk buying post’s companion read. The FAQ center carries the related storage and shelf-life questions.
