Some of the probiotic foods and pills need to be refrigerated. These and some other probiotic pills don't need refrigeration. I'm not positive why.

I keep mine in the fridge. It arrives in insulated wrapping to keep it cool and I assume like other probiotics that it will require refrigeration.

Unfortunately, Swanson Health Products does not ship any item with a cooled environment. We have found that the delivery time is not long enough to damage the quality or potency of the viable organisms in Probiotics. We hope this is helpful. -Swanson Health Products

it can be mixed right in with wet or dry foods but it must not be heated. Heat kills the enzymes and probiotics and renders it useless.

Good question. I read up on probiotics and chose this because (1) apparently probiotic formulas have some life in them. Much the same way yeast has to be carefully preserved, anti-biotics have to be refrigerated and used in a timely fashion. This was the only product I saw that advised refrigeration. Needless to say, I didn't get a whole bunch of it, but tried a bottle at a time.

Sorry, but I have no scientific background. The description says it is probiotics. I am just a customer who bought it.

No heating it would kill the live cultures. Maybe you could put it in water, fresh breastmilk or formula at room temp. if you know baby will drink soon. I put the probiotic in juice but we are past the baby stage.

Not that I've noticed, but these probiotics should be refrigerated immediately upon being received!

Actually - no - but the product still seemed to do it's job, even without constant refrigeration - sometimes they would get left in my purse, etc. and it still helped keep my system in good shape. I was in bad need of being rebalanced with the proper probiotics and it brought about a "cure. I've been free of troubles for over 2 months now after using one bottle.

No it's not. I was told, though, by a health food store that it maintains a lot of the natural bacteria for awhile without refrigeration. They pack extra in to allow for it.

As per Custom Probiotics website, "the loss at room temperature wthin a few weeks is very low. We can therefore assure you that the quality of our very high potency probiotic dietary supplements will not be compromised." Here at Sun Organics, we do keep all our probiotics refrigerated and suggest you do the same upon receipt. Our goal is to provide you value products at affordable prices. To add cool packs would add at least $10 to the product cost. WARNING: ANY SELLER SHIPPING VIA AMAZON FULFILLMENT - AMAZON DOES NOT OFFER REFRIGERATED WAREHOUSING, SO PRODUCT WILL DETERIORATE.

No, as you know, most probiotics do need to be refrigerated but this one does not which makes it good for travel.

The first answer make it seem as though the ice packs are pointless, however, reading the wording closely from the company indicates that at ROOM temperature the product maintains potency. Considering it's summer time, and with the temperatures reached in most warehouses, shipping containers, and trucks - the likelihood that room temperature (73.4ºF) or lower is maintained is not very good. Plus, if the seller is not including an ice pack, you have to wonder if they are even storing their stock in a refrigerator...... If you are purchasing a high quality probiotic, it's worth ensuring you're getting what you pay for; both in quality and effectiveness.

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.
