Maybe u/misteryouaresodumb should have the team add extra desiccant packs during manufacturing, though there is probably a good reason why he doesn't do this already.
I believeeeeeve that the PETE containers are better at blocking oxygen than moisture, but I could have everything backwards. Perhaps the dual layerd pouches (such as the AvailOM DHA powder) would be a better fit for this product, as I've seen quite a few hockeypucks in the subreddit.

PETE block oxygen best. HDPE is better for moisture. We've moved the hygroscopic capsules/tablets/softgels into white HDPE bottles, and were going to do it with the jars. However, then there were supply shortages of HDPE jars because of all the shit going on. So we are doing a custom solution with jars specially made for us that will block both oxygen and moisture. That's in process now. More desiccants won't help in situations like this. We have to prevent the permeation of the moisture through the plastic itself, or the desiccant will just get saturated quickly.
