Is this product stored refrigerated before shipping? The organisms die off if it is not. Solaray said it will survive 6 days of non-refrigeration.

It doesn't need to be refrigerated. I am not sure of the shelf life, but I believe it has an expiration date.

The shelf life is indefinite. It is inert and refrigeration would not add or detract from it's shelf life.

No, you don't have to refrigerate. Simply keep it at room temperature, out of direct sunlight.

I don't think this needs to be refrigerated. We keep it in our cabinet and haven't noticed any deterioration of the product as a result.

it is preserved with salt so it can last a year or so in fridge, indefinitely if frozen. I got mine in early Dec. used some of it 12/27 and froze the rest. there was one review that is more detailed. I wouldn't worry, in the stores it is left on the top of the fish counter with no refrigeration at all.

I never refrigerated it. It would say on the container if it needed to be refrigerated. I never noticed anything.

HI the probiotics companies allow for some die off when shipping. They have more of the bacteria strains then what is listed on the box. We do have ice packs that we can ship with and just request it. Please note the ice will melt before the item gets there but will keep cool for a while but it will not be like when you ship meat on dry ice or anything like that.

Unlike other live probiotics, it doesn't require refrigeration. If you use it everyday, it will last about 30 days, but it will keep great during transport and throughout normal use. We've used this probiotic for about a year now with great results. The branding for the US has changed a bit and Gerber started carrying it, they call it colic sooth. It's the same company (biogaia) and dose information is exactly the same as well. Great product!

It doesn't need to be refrigerated. Keep it like you do any other supplements - probably best in a dark cabinet.

If you buy it retail and it was on a refrigerated shelf yes. I got mine via Amazon Think about it this way too. Pb8 is a living thing. I refrigerate mine. Keeps the bacteria strong in my mind and don't die off

We actually sell this product directly out of our New Life Vitamins warehouse. The probiotics are kept refrigerated here until shipping out to customers. When shipped we send them priority mail with an ice pack in the package. We are not exactly sure how Amazon stores their live probiotics but this is our process here at New Life Vitamins.

I don't know whether it is kept refrigerated at the Amazon warehouse. The bottle says that it needs to be refrigerated but that a short term heat exposure is acceptable. I have been ordering for a while now and I have not noticed any problem with potency. It has always been effective. The reason I know is that my mother has diverticulitis and some occasional problems with loose bowels because of it and this is what she uses to take care of that and it always does. It would be good for Amazon to respond to your question of whether this item is kept refrigerated prior to shipping.

This product does not need to be refrigerated. In fact I don't recommend it. It lasts indefinitely in a cool place sealed.

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!

Yes, there are parts of it that will need to be refrigerated to extend the life of the product (enzymes and such). It is a small amount, but it is recommended in the package instructions and we didn't put ours in until after my husband opened this as his Christmas gift last year. Hope this helps!
