I dont think they keep it cold. I used to buy this from here and it did work wonderful for my daughter when she had constipation. But now i go to the Vitamin Shop and purchase there because at the Vitamin Shop it is refrigerated.

No- it comes as is, without being kept cold. It's not mandatory that it's kept constantly cold- just recommended. Once you get it, just put it in the fridge. I've been ordering this from Amazon for years and have done it this way without a problem!!

the shipment is sent with wrapping and will be fine, It need be refridgerated after opening

I have been told that as soon as a probiotic that needs to be refridgerated becomes warm (not regrifgerated) it is no longer as potentially useful. Are you saying that a two day shipment will not effect the product?

It is not refrigerated when it is delivered. you would have to contact Amazon itself to know if it is refrigerated in the warehouse. My GUESS would be no, but it it is just a guess.

Hi Darlene,Everyone has the wrong idea with these products. We have done a considerable amount of investigating with these products and the need for refrigeration during shipping. Renew Life has verified with us that the short amount of time during shipping without refrigeration does not harm the product. After receiving and opening the product it should be kept under refrigeration to preserve the strength of the product. At the House of Nutrition we do keep these products under refrigeration while the product is in inventory at our facility.Please call Renew Life 800-830-4778. I have been shipping these products for over 20 years.Thank you,Bobby House of Nutrition Hi Darlene,Everyone has the wrong idea with these products.

Hello! We do not use refrigerated carriers to ship orders. Please be assured that the product is hermetically sealed and the probiotic count exceeds the label claim to ensure all label claims hold true at the point of receipt for the customer. Refrigeration is recommended once opened. We hope this information is helpful!

Hello, Thank you for contacting Swanson Health Products! We are happy to help! Probiotics are not shipped refrigerated. However, please be assured that when a manufacturer formulates a probiotic, they are aware that the product will not be able to be refrigerated 100% of the time. The manufacturer knows that products will not be shipped refrigerated, therefore there is a very decent amount of time allowed so that a product can be shipped and still exceed its potency. Please also be assured that this product is stored at our Swanson facility in a temperature-controlled environment at all times. As long as your product is sealed and not in direct sunlight, its potency and integrity will not be compromised. We hope this information is helpful! If there is anything we can do to further assist you, please let us know. Our quality, value and customer service have made Swanson Health Products a trusted source of nutritional supplements since 1969. To help us build this privileged relationship with you, we welcome your comments and suggestions, as it is our pleasure to serve you at any time. Sincerely, Jessi V. Swanson Health Products Customer Account Specialist

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.

No,but it tastes better(less caustic)if kept refrigerated.You could also google the answer by typing the product name and the word refrigerate in the search engine(not the Amazon search engine).

Mine was shipped by "Great Bargainz" and the product box was so mangled I returned it. HOWEVER got good ratings on Walmart.com and Costco. com where there is also free shipping and a few dollars less than Amazon.com. A friend is taking the Garden of Life products ones that must be refrigerated and loves them. Allot more money than 4x though. I'd give the 4x products a try for a month or two based on cosf and convenience. Happy hunting!

According to the manufacturer, it doesn't need refrigeration since it's a fermented product. Since it's not "perishable" only the manufacturing date is listed on the product, so I don't think you have any worries about it going bad or losing its potency for a very long time.

It arrives in the same box--sometimes--with other Amazon products. Not-refrigerated. It works fine for me. Does it really require refrigeration--or just cool storage?

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.

No, I ordered several times from different vendors via amazon and first two times it was sent with an ice pack, last two times I ordered, product arrived hot and I was unable to give to my son! Called company and they told me unless, ordered from a physician's office, these so called vendors should not be selling this product and the company is not Liable for how long it has been stored or shelved without refrigeration! We have no way of knowing! I would not recommend, better to be safe than sorry!

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