With these oxygen absorbers, you can easily reduce the oxygen level inside packaging and extend the shelf life of perishable products. By removing oxygen, oxidation is slowed, quality loss is prevented, and the risk of mold and bacterial growth is reduced. They are especially ideal for storing mushrooms and magic truffles, as the natural breakdown of psilocybin is slowed. This means they stay fresh longer and retain their potency much longer after drying.

Oxygen absorber packets
Oxygen absorbers remove oxygen from a sealed package through an iron-based reaction. This creates a low-oxygen environment in which oxidation is greatly slowed. Oxidation is the process by which aroma, color, structure and active compounds are gradually lost. These small packets counteract this by absorbing oxygen inside the packaging. The packets are safe for use with food but are not intended to be opened or eaten.
Oxygen absorbers for storing mushrooms
Dried mushrooms last significantly longer when stored without oxygen. Oxygen is an important factor in the breakdown of psilocybin. By adding an oxygen absorber to an airtight package, this process is slowed and quality is better preserved.
Dutch-Headshop tip: always combine oxygen absorbers with properly dried mushrooms and store them in a cool, dark place. Light (especially UV) and heat accelerate the breakdown of active compounds.
Oxygen absorbers for storing magic truffles
For magic truffles stored after opening, oxygen absorbers are a valuable addition. Combined with a well-sealed zip bag, they reduce oxidation and help keep truffles stable for longer.
Note: oxygen absorbers work best in combination with low humidity. Therefore, preferably also use a silica gel moisture absorber. See recommended products.
Oxygen absorber or moisture absorber?
Oxygen absorbers are designed to remove oxygen and prevent oxidation. They are not suitable for drying products. For moisture control, use silica gel. For optimal storage of mushrooms, truffles and cactus cuttings, a combination of both is often most effective.
What’s in the pack
The pack contains 100 individual oxygen absorber packets of 1 gram each.
