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.?Health Question & Answer
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.Health Question & Answer
To keep them fresh and unstuck.
