are these nitrogen packed so they can be stored at room temperature? are the bacteria tested for potency after consumption?

The bottle states to keep this refrigerated. It doesn't state anything on the label about testing.

Sorry Leslie...I don't know the answer to your questions but you could contact the manufacturer directly.

I called Pure Encapsulations and was told this is NOT a refrigerated product. It should be kept at room temperature.

I think about room temperature should be fine. These are fungal spores so I imagine they are incredibly resilient to temperature changes.

Hello caromtns. Yes, alhaytham is correct. It should be refrigerated to extend the life of the micro-organisms in the capsule. We will be looking into an encapsulation process that eliminates the need for refrigeration, in the new year. Thank you for your question, caromtns. And thank you for your reply, alhaytham. Amazon is the biggest retail platform in the world, it is this type of 'conversation' that creates community and unbiased feedback that is essential for the consumer to make the right choice for them.

The label says" keep product refrigerated and use within 2 months." It seems ok may be for a year. However, after reading the label, I am concerned about "Nitrogen-flushed to maintain freshness." I called the manufacture product department asking the toxicity of the nitrogen, they claim it is non-toxic but there is neither study nor authority to prove it. If you have nitrogen flushed toxicity information, let me know.

They have a long exp. date on package and air-tight. I personally will not store in Freezer or Ref. only because of experience and I recently read an article that said NEVER store fresh coffee in freezer if you want to retain flavor. I am going thru about 6 per week for one person. I would just leave in the box or re-box for cabinet.

This product can be kept in the fridge or at room temperature. So, when it arrives at my home I store it in the fridge for longer storage. Each bottle is sealed as other supplements are. Each capsule contains 80 billion gut friendly bacteria. I take one capsule per day. So, yes, it is not in powder form, but the bacteria are contained in gelatine capsules.

I store these in the freezer and just take out enough for a week or two to keep in the refrigerator in an air-tight container. I've had these for several months and they are still fresh when I use them. I hope this helps. Enjoy!

Hi Cruella, Yes, it's best for the life of the probiotics if they are refrigerated. Also, probiotics in general can be susceptible to moisture so try not to leave them outside the fridge for any length of time when you do take them out. Best thing is to open the bottle, get your probiotics and then put the bottle straight back in the fridge. They will last longer and work better this way.RegardsAaron ParkerCEO, MightySupp

Nope, it will still be perfectly fine. I did a ton of research on it before buying because I was worried about it too. The cold pack is in there simply as a courtesy, but it's not necessary. The probiotics are fine at room temperature until the bottle has been opened. So just put it in the fridge once you open it.

No, room temperature is fine. It is the only probiotic that I have found to work. Be sure to wait 2 hours after eating to take it.

The manufacturers don't mention the need for refrigeration, so they should be OK. I do store mine in a fridge because that's what I've always done.

The package says that you shouldn't freeze them. They also say that they have a 9 month shelf life at room temperature.

If it is fulfilled by Amazon (Prime or free shipping), it is shipped refrigerated directly from Metagenics to Amazon at the beginning of the week so it will reach them quickly and not sit in a hot UPS truck over the weekend. This product sells out very fast, so it doesn't stay in the warehouse very long. I have been using Metagenics products for over 15 years, always with great results. After seeing all the comments about refrigeration, I checked directly with the manufacturer. They told me they do not have to be stored in refrigeration once they arrive unless the room is very hot. Their probiotics are guaranteed potent to label claim until the date of expiration at room temperature. There are no problems with Amazon's storage. They are stable up to 90 degrees F; I can't imagine a working warehouse would be that hot. I don't know if Amazon ships them in a refrigerated carton; I hope this info helps!

I'm not sure about room temp. storage. I purchased mine several years ago and store them in my freezer and have not had any problems using them.

I´m not sure, but I noticed when I stored mine in a cold place, like the fridge, the casing got hard. I have no idea if this affects the potency of the probiotics or not.

Its however you like your root bear. If you are of with drinking it at room temp, you can store it at room temp. if you want it cold, put it in the fridge
