Katherine,Sorry, I threw away the packaging, as I've completed the regimen I was on. I was rotating different pro-biotics and this was one of the ones recommended to me.Best to you,A

All the strains are probiotic.It is designed so it does not have to be refrigerated. But it is best to be refrigerated.

It needs to be refrigerated. It is amazing. As for the strains you can find that on their website.

It does not need to be refrigerated. It comes in a plastic sleeve. It sat on my counter for a month.

No, refrigeration isn't necessary. The probiotics in the product are in spore form, so they actually germinate in the intestines. Kind of cool.

hi, well the bottle says it contains 50 billion cultures, but the list says its 6 billion active. Not sure what that all means, but I remember probiotics should have at least 11 to be good so 6 may be on low side. Hope this helps. Actually the other answer someone provided makes more sense---- the bottle does list only these two strains. I am referring to how much.

I take probiotics that don't have to be refrigerated recommended my by doctor. Years ago the only kind you could find were the ones in the fridge. That has all changed.

Common sense tells me that the efficacy rate of probiotics diminishes over time without refrigeration. I recommend Garden of Life to all first time probiotic users. If they see a significant result, I recommend live fermented food for a optimum gut health. If their issues disappear, and they see no more result, I say, "your welcome".

Threelac probiotic does not ship with a cold pack. Refrigeration is not required although the company indicates that consumers may refrigerate if they so wish, however, they caution against potential for freezing as that would damage the product. Stability studies have shown claimed activity up till expiration date.

Hi Christina, as JW and Gigi have pointed out, the answer is Yes. There is probably one caveat to that, and that is, if the probiotics have already been in refrigeration for a long time then you'd probably want to get one of those little cold bags (you know the foil type ones) and keep them in there while travelling. If you're going on an extended trip and you have a new unopened bottle, then don't put the probiotics in the fridge to begin with until you've finished your travels. That will keep the probiotics stable throughout your trip. Hope that helps.

This product does require refrigeration and company package their probiotic carefully no ice packs.

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!

No, I asked the company and Whole Foods about this issue and Barlean's never ships any of their oils or swirls refrigerated to the stores. Apparently, it isn't actually perishable the way that say, eggs or meat would be. But once you open it, you should stick it in the fridge. Even the probiotics that are in the cold case at WF do not arrive at the store via cold ship. You're fine. :)

Yes, Mary Jane, it IS Probiotics and we are very pleased with these, have taken for quite a while now. You do have to keep them refrigerated. Hope this helps.

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 for sure but would assume since it's a high quality product. I have been very happy with it. I've used other probiotics and can tell that it works better.

depends on the seller. ive begun a list for myself so I know who to buy from and who not to. even though klaire labs states in the insert that it can go without being refrigerated, that it just decreases the strength after 3 months --i still dont want to take the chance bc who knows how long it sits on the shelf before being shipped out. PLUS so expensive why take the chance! (ALWAYS TEST PROBIOTICS WHEN THEY COME. GOOGLE HOW TO TEST PROBIOTICS. THE FIRST LINK IS THE ONE I USE WITH SUCCESS) ---sellers I wont buy from are "happy,smart,&cute" and "SHOPnSEND" --they do not shop with any cold pack or ice.i contacted happy and they said its fine and sent copy of klaire labs insert. they could not have been a nicer company to work with BUT I stopped buying from those two (even though product was alive) I only purchase from places that care more for the quality. sellers that DO ship with ice every time and ive had GREAT success with is "bon vivant essentials"---they sell on here quite frequently and seem to be the cheapest so I normally hold out for when they are selling on here with klaire labs bc I know they send with ice hope this helps. will try to update as my list grows. also know you can return if no ice and if test dead!

I do not refrigerate my probiotics ever. So it should be ok to send it to your location.

The probiotics need to be in the refrigerator, and so are typically sent with a cold pack, but digestive enzymes aren't usually as sensitive to heat. In my experience, they should be fine while being shipped to you. Hope this helps!
