Hi All,
Time for the advanced class in EPI maintenance, I hope.
I get my enzymes from Diane and am wondering how you pro's keep them. I'm on my first bag and about half way done. Sticking my hand in there to get 2 teaspoons doesn't seem like the best way to do this. So, have you found a better way? Some other sealed container or jar? Just thinking there's gotta be a better way and don't want to mess anything up.
Thanks in advance,
Richard and Sassy

People all have their favorite way of storing enzymes. I put mine in a jar with a screw top lid and store in the dark in my cabinet. I have a dedicated measuring spoon that just lives in there and has no other job.
I do not like to stick my hand in the bag either, I knew pretty early on that wasn't going to work for me

Riley is a 10 year old Labradoodle. She was diagnosed with EPI in 2014.
She currently eats Taste of the Wild, I cup in the morning, 2 cups in the evening, each meal with 1 Wonderlabs B12 sprinkled over her dinner. Enzymes are EnzymeDiane, 1 tsp per cup of food, mixed in home made bone broth. No other supplements or meds at this time.
Riley currently weighs about 44 pounds, which is pretty heavy for her.

Re: Containers?
Probably Tupperware, but there are water proof containers all over the place
glass jars can create condensation, purely because, of the differential in temperatute inside and out, you cannot have air inside, and opening the lid creates air , this goes back to making jam !
maybe a collapsable container
we dont have this over here

Re: Containers?
When I get the bag from Diane, I transfer the contents into heavy plastic jars with screw-on lids. I had saved some of these from when I was ordering from a commercial company online before I discovered Diane. I also put in a couple of those packets to keep moisture down and keep the jars in a corner cabinet in my kitchen that doesn't get any light. Like Lis, I have designated spoons that I use only for the enzymes.
My daughter recently bought glass jars that have a rubber seal that look like they might work, too.

Re: Containers?
I keep the enzymes in their original bag from Diane and then put them inside a ziplock bag in my kitchen cabinet. I keep one measuring spoon in there. I've never had an issue - everyone has their own special way.

DOC taught me so much and together we battled and overcame EPI, food sensitivies, environmental allergies but we lost the cancer battle. DOC was dx with hemangiosarcoma 5/2022 and crossed the rainbow bridge July 24, 2022. He is and always will be the love of my life, my soulmate, my heart dog.
