Do cultures live from manuf. and being sealed to time opened and refrigerated?

I have no idea. I take it and it seems to work. I don,t think there is anything special about it.

Most probiotic labels only guarantee their 20 billion live culture claim at manufacture, not at the consumer. The manufacturer has no control over how carefully the product is handled once they ship it to a distributor. For example if the product is allowed to sit in high temperatures in a warehouse, that will negatively impact the number of probiotic cultures that survive. I for one would not recommend purchasing probiotics by mail during the summer as they will roast sitting in mail/delivery trucks.

I am not sure what is being asked here. However, the package is a bottle that is sealed, and the capsules are loose in the bottle. High quality probiotics do not need refrigeration and are tolerant of staying alive at room temp for many months. The expiration date on my bottle is 2.5 years after purchase.

This particular product specifies that it should be refrigerated after opening.

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. Regards Aaron Parker CEO, MightySupp

I do not believe so. We have never refrigerated ours. We keep it in a cabinet all the time even after opening.

The manufacturers don't mention the need for refrigeration, so they should be OK. I do store mine in a fridge because that's what I've always done.

We store at room temperature. Depends on how often you use them. We use 1/day and they are always fresh due to the packaging and no need to refrigerate.

It doesn't have to be, but the bottle says "For best results, refrigerate after opening". I don't refrigerate mine :)

I can't answer that question.....I can state that the fresh stuff that comes in a bottle and is meant to be kept refrigerated is arguably better for you (do a google search and you'll find out why).

I do keep it in my fridge. This probiotic works so much better than the non-refrigerated ones I've tried.

It is a raw food with living properties, as such its efficacy is severely compromised with that time line. Except if frozen ( which you didn't specify whether what compartment it was stored in ) which changes the scenario considerably. But at a two year mark in the lower normal refrigeratiion compartment its efficacy is diminished at best, if nonexistent. Food is not a museum piece, especially raw food. It is designed to be consumed as soon as possible, not retained for excessive lengths of time.

I never refrigerated mine. Weeks after opening, when my bioenergetics doctor tested it against my body, he said it was still good.

No, not before opening. After they are opened (if not finished) they need to be refrigerated.

If u want the best results, u will refrigerate. These r live cultures and the result is amazing. If your traveling for a short time, it,s ok, but as soon as u reach destination refrigerate. I take mine every day after breakfast, then I dont have to worry. There is a expiration date on every box. I just purchased again, so mine is 4/2016. If I purchase locally, they refrigerate, if I order from Amazon, they do not so I refrigerate immediately upon receipt.

As a microbiologist, my answer is yes - any foodstuffs should be refrigerated after opening the container

Of what I have read, it is not necessary to refrigerate. However, I do to maintain the potency and freshness. The vendor or manufacturer should be contacted for a more definitive answer.

I just kept in in the bred box and it was fine for several days in the cool weather. For longer or in warm weather, I'd refrigerate to prevent mold.

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