I would like to know if the item is kept cold when delivered? B12 liquid should be kept cold and be refrigerated... Can someone please let me know?

B12 is not shipped with ice to keep it cold. Sorry. It is typically stored at room temperature.

It has not been kept cold AFAIK. I have had good results by keeping it in the plastic wrap and storing it in a dark drawer, that's opened about 3 x /day. I like it because it seems to be just as readily absorbed as a sublingual tablet, in much less time. Do hold a dropper in your mouth as long as is practical, before swallowing, swallow half, hold it a little longer, swallow it all. The insides of your cheeks, your gums, and to some extent your tongue, all help the liquid to get to your blood stream almost immediately, instead of having to be processed by your stomach.

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

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!!

I put my 2nd bag in the freezer as well. As with any organic chemical, slow oxidation by ambient oxygen will degrade the B17 over time. Cold slows down this process greatly. So I believe you are doing exactly the correct thing. I have never heard of an organic chemical being degraded or destroyed in freezing cold.

It should be refrigerated or kept in freezer. It depends on where you get it from. Some places will keep it cold with ice packs on shipping, and some places just ship as is. It can go rancid faster if it hasn't been kept cool.

Yes, this product needs to be refrigerated. Says so right on the bottle " Keep Refrigerated". If you purchase this product on Amazon and the listing says "Fulfilled by Amazon" it has not been refrigerated. It was kept in and shipped from Amazon's warehouse. The response from Green Pharmacy is incorrect as are the instructions on the Empirical Labs website that say "refrigerate after opening" according to Dave at Emperical labs. According to Dave, he has asked his web people to change the wording on the web site and that takes time but he has put the necessary paper work in to have it changed.

Hi Matthew That is confusing about refrigeration. It should be kept in refrigeration while in inventory and especially after opening should be kept in refrigerator at all times. The short time during shipping and not be under refrigeration does not harm the product. There have been many tests on this subject by many companies and especially Renew Life well documented. I have been shipping these products for 20 years and we have never shipped with any type of refrigeration and there have not been any problems with products. Bobby House of Nutrition

Hello, Unfortunately we do not ship items with ice packs. 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 temperature-controlled facility at all times. As long as your product is sealed and not in direct sunlight, its potency and integrity will not be compromised. We also send probiotics continually to third party laboratories in all months, including the hottest ones, to ensure that the product does hold up to the label claims. So far we have ran into no issues concerning the products. We hope this information is helpful! Best in Health, Jessi V.

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 woulddamage the product. Stability studies have shown claimed activity up till expiration date.

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, 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. :)

I would not order this product from amazon again. It was warm. Unless you pay extra to overnight it. No ice pack. I ordered it from vitacost which had an ice pack but it wasn't cold by the time I received it. My advice is to order it elsewhere & have it overnighted.

Yes...BUT... Like all unprocessed oils cold preserves the integrity of the omega 3 content (I keep mine in the freezer for maximum preservation because it stays liquid), however, unlike most perishables it does not need continuous cold to prevent spoiling. This is why it can be shipped in a normal box. As long as it is kept cold most of the time and especially after it is opened it will be fine (same goes for flax oil). If it gets warm after opening it needs to be used up pretty quick or it will start to go bad. I recommend alternating between hemp and flax for maximum omega fatty acid nutrition.

I would recommend trying to find this locally in a health food store where its kept refrigerated. You're paying a premium to have it shipped cold as it should be. I would recommend a shelf stable brand SBO (like Prescript Assist) if your looking to effect bigger changes to the gut flora. Take it with some resistant starch.

I have never refrigerated them, but like anything else, I avoid extreme changes on either end. Has always kept them at room temp. Been taking them as a daily supplement for 4 years. Has really helped the immune system.

Dear Valued Customer, Thank you for contacting Swanson Health Products! We apologize for any concern and we are happy to help. Please be assured that the shipping time is not long enough to have a significant impact on quality. The products are kept in an air-conditioned environment at our warehouses until the time they're shipped to customers. The bottles themselves are made of food grade plastic to protect the product. The bottles also have an internal induction seal to provide an oxygen barrier which reduces oxidation or spoilage. The majority of our product testing is done at off-site labs and the samples sent for testing are not refrigerated during transit to a testing lab. Test results showing the product continues to meet the label claim for potency tell us that the supplements withstand heat during shipment without damage. Our shipping methods are consistent with other large supplement companies. We know of no other mail order company that refrigerates products during shipping. Even if the product is refrigerated when you see it for sale in a retail store, it may not have been refrigerated during shipment to the store. We hope this information brings you peace of mind. As always, we do offer 100% money back guarantee on all products for up to 1 year past the purchase date. If there is anything we can do to further assist you, please let us know! Christy L.
