Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept in original, moisture-proof packaging until use to prevent caking and loss of effervescent properties. Storage areas should have low humidity and be well-ventilated.
