Why is there cottin in the tops of pill bottles?!


Question: Why is there cottin in the tops of pill bottles!?
I got a bottle of acai berry supplements (please don't answer if you're just going to tell me how smart/stupid I am for getting them) and there was a wad of cotton wool in the top!. Why!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
The cotton fills the bottle so the pills or capsules do not shake around during shipping and handling, and break!. More likely, uncoated pills could grind against each other, leaving you with a bottle of powder!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

To keep them fresh and unstuck!.

Cotton can absorb moisture that may degrade the pills, and it keeps them from slamming around in the bottle in shipment!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

to keep the moisture in it so the pills wont blend in together/stick togetherWww@Answer-Health@Com
