  10. Dear Dr JV Hebbrar,

    First of all, many thanks. I´ve started taking Panchavya and I have a question about the way to keep it once you have opened It. May I keep in the fridge or I must keep outside? I mean, If you keep ii n the fridge some effects are gone?
    Thanks in advance.
    Carlos.
