why does this probiotic have to be refrigirated?

Keeping the probiotics refrigerated helps to keep the bacteria fresh which makes it more beneficial for your gut flora. I have left it out over night and still have the benefits. The Udo's web site states that it can be kept on the shelf for up to one month but the bacteria begins to lose it important potency. I hope this helped with your question.

Bacteria is neither animal, vegetable or mineral. In caps there is a certain amount of expiration in the dried bacteria, therefore refrigeration helps to keep the bacteria cool and up to maximum levels. The bottles are sealed but once opened and air is allowed in the bottle, this causes ageing of ANY product.

Good question. I read up on probiotics and chose this because (1) apparently probiotic formulas have some life in them. Much the same way yeast has to be carefully preserved, anti-biotics have to be refrigerated and used in a timely fashion. This was the only product I saw that advised refrigeration. Needless to say, I didn't get a whole bunch of it, but tried a bottle at a time.

Yes....I haven't ever refrigerated my Mighty Supp Probiotics. They continue to be the best probiotics I have ever tried.

No this product does not need refrigeration at any time as it is naturally fermented and is a good source of pro-biotic nutrients as well as being low in sodium .

As per Custom Probiotics website, "the loss at room temperature wthin a few weeks is very low. We can therefore assure you that the quality of our very high potency probiotic dietary supplements will not be compromised." Here at Sun Organics, we do keep all our probiotics refrigerated and suggest you do the same upon receipt. Our goal is to provide you value products at affordable prices. To add cool packs would add at least $10 to the product cost. WARNING: ANY SELLER SHIPPING VIA AMAZON FULFILLMENT - AMAZON DOES NOT OFFER REFRIGERATED WAREHOUSING, SO PRODUCT WILL DETERIORATE.

I refrigerate mine. Better to be safe than sorry. Just love this product, I take it to elevate my immune system and also give it to my dog. Hope this helps.

This is a soil based probiotic and does not require any refrigeration whatsoever. Dairy based probiotics are the only strains that need temperature control.

Hi Cruella, Yes, it's best for the life of the probiotics if they are refrigerated. Also, probiotics in general can be susceptible to moisture so try not to leave them outside the fridge for any length of time when you do take them out. Best thing is to open the bottle, get your probiotics and then put the bottle straight back in the fridge. They will last longer and work better this way.RegardsAaron ParkerCEO, MightySupp

No. I spoke with a company rep and she said it's "freeze-dried" which is the reason no refrigeration required. Her explanation was that by being freeze-dried, it gets into the stomach/intestines. I don't think it should ever be refrigerated as the humidity of the fridge might screw up the freeze-drying?

I don't know the shelf life, but yes it needs to be refrigerated after openiing.

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?

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.

I don't believe Thorne guarantees LIVE probiotics...since they are NOT under refrigeration from manufacturer to dealer. I believe Thorne maintains that they provide additional probiotics to deal with the loss due to the lack of refrigeration. Culture 1-2 capsules to determine if your purchase contains live probiotics. If it won't culture, it isn't.

It does not need refrigeration. It reduces the fishy taste in some supplements, but this one is tasteless either way.

We are Peaceful Planet, an online retailer of high quality supplements and eco-friendly products for the home. We store everything on shelves until they are sold. Once I open my personal bottle, I store it in the cabinet. No need to refrigerate soil based probiotics. I hope this helps, Kerrie Peaceful Planet

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.

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!
