The bottle says that this product is "best if refrigerated." Will it be kept cool during the shipping process? If not, how will that affect quality?

This item does not "require" refrigeration. Therefore, shipping will not affect the quality of the item.

I seem to get questions, all the time, about this product that I purchased some time ago. I 'm certainly not an expert on it. I can tell you that I refrigerated my bottle and would bring it to room temperature before using it. I had it for quite a while since it is used in small amounts. I never suffered any ill effects from it.

Hi Stephanie. Thank you for your question. Yes. In order to keep the product efficient and maintain its quality, we do recommend you keep it refrigerated once it has been opened. Let us know if you have any other questions. Number One Nutrition.

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.

I've never refrigerated it. I always keep it at room temperature. There is nothing on the bottle regarding refrigeration....

I guess the best is to buy it refrigerated, but it's fine to purchase it online because its only some hours that the bottle will be exposed to high temperatures and no harm will be made to the oil. When you receive it at home keep it refrigerated.

I have not had any problems with it not being refrigerated. You may want to refrigerate after opening.

Keeping it refrigerated will keep it longer without overheating. Length of time, I am not sure of , but way longer than it will take for you to use it daily and finish the bottle..

We understand your concern. While extended exposure to high temperatures could have an effect on supplements, the shipping time is not long enough to have a significant impact on the quality of the products. The products are kept in a temperature-controlled environment at our facility right up until the time they're shipped to customers. In addition, the bottles are hermetically sealed to provide an oxygen barrier that helps prevent oxidation or spoilage. We test our products throughout the shelf life to ensure they meet the label claim. Since the samples are not refrigerated during shipment, our testing tells us that our supplements withstand heat during shipment without damage to potency. Swanson Health Products

I keep my open bottle in the refrigator. I cannot prove it but i believe heat is not good for this liquid product.

Kara, We do not ship this product with cold packs due to the short time that it is in transit. However, once this package is opened it should absolutely be refrigerated. Thank You, Customer Service

The bottle states to keep this refrigerated. It doesn't state anything on the label about testing.

I can't say as I've never tried refrigerating the bottle. The tablets have a strong smell. However, I only notice it when the cap is off. Whether or not it would affect anything in the refrigerator is out of my experience. I'm sorry that I can't help you more.

I would hope so, but only the specific seller can answer. You should always keep it refrigerated. However, if not refrigerated for a couple days in transit...it's not the end of the world. I believe it would still be effective. It may be slightly less potent, but this stuff is so potent to begin with it will still work and be helpful. There are websites online who specify they ship in ice pack, so you could check into that.

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

The product says "BEST REFRIGERATED", but also says to keep between a certain temperature range. The biggest thing is that if the product is being shipping not refrigerated, you are talking about major damage being occurred. Add to that that the UPS box stays sitting in the heat outside for hours before you can retrieve the box...and you have a problem.
