Qalitex Urges Brands to Address Moisture Sensitivity Risks in Powdered Supplement Stability
As powdered supplements continue to dominate the health and wellness market, Qalitex is drawing urgent attention to one of the most overlooked risks in product stability: moisture sensitivity. Even trace amounts of humidity can compromise the quality, safety, and shelf life of powdered formulations, making proactive stability measures critical for consumer trust and regulatory compliance.
Moisture intrusion can lead to a variety of issues, including clumping, loss of potency, accelerated microbial growth, and changes in texture or flavor. For supplements containing probiotics, enzymes, or botanical extracts, exposure to humidity can drastically reduce efficacy long before the product’s labeled expiration date. These risks not only jeopardize consumer safety but also damage brand reputation in a competitive market.
Qalitex emphasizes that effective stability testing must account for real-world conditions, including variable storage and distribution environments where moisture exposure is common. Best practices include:
Conducting controlled humidity stability studies to identify vulnerabilities.
Utilizing protective packaging solutions such as desiccants, moisture-barrier films, or airtight containers.
Implementing supply chain monitoring to minimize exposure during transit and storage.
Documenting results in compliance with FDA and international regulatory requirements.
By addressing moisture sensitivity risks proactively, brands can ensure their powdered supplements deliver consistent safety, efficacy, and quality throughout their shelf life.
“Moisture is an invisible but serious threat to powdered supplements,” Qalitex advises. “Brands that anticipate and manage this risk will not only stay compliant but also earn lasting consumer trust.”
With this call to action, Qalitex reaffirms its commitment to advancing scientific rigor in supplement stability testing, urging manufacturers to strengthen their quality assurance practices in an increasingly demanding marketplace.
