I have read elsewhere to keep this product in the refrigerator. Is this truly recommended to preserve potency?

The powder I do keep in the frig....not sure why other than it says refrigerate after opening on the jar. At least I hope it says that on the bottle. Now the capsules I just keep in my medicine cabinet and it is always cool inside the cabinet. Once we accidently put in the cupboard for a couple of days and the consistency was kind of sticky/clumpy after that.....maybe that is why?

I have heard that and do it as well. I don't think it is a requirement but preferred. I have still taken either the pills or powder if they have been in high heat and there are no apparent differences.

Hi. I have not heard that and it does not state a safe temperature on the bottle. However, it does make sense. I refrigerate my acidophilus, but that is because it says to on the bottle. I do not think it would hurt the product, but I would continue research or ask other reviewers. I keep my capsules in my medication cabinet in the kitchen. Good luck!

Hi Joseph, yes there is a shelf life to this product. I bought the product in February of 2012 and the bottle I bought is dated best by 7/20/13. So the product appears to have a one year shelf life. However this still does not indicate that you can't use it after the year. I interrupt this to mean that it probably will then start to losing its potency. I hope this helps.

As long as you keep it refrigerated -- I keep mine in the freezer until I transfer a new batch to a quart jar I keep in the fridge -- it will keep almost indefinitely. The loss of potency is minimal. I think my expiration date is some time in 2015. When you get your shipment, transfer it to Ziplock freezer bags -- two one-gallon bags will hold almost a whole 10-lb. order. Stick them in the freezer, and keep a smaller container in the fridge that you can get into easily every day. Works for me!

No, you don't necessarily need to refrigerate it. I keep it on my countertop and it has not lost its scent or taste.

Actually, the manufacturer does NOT specifically recommend this. And frankly, THEY do not even ship it refrigerated when they ship it to the stores. That is a fact. It is "suggested", but their products say to "Store in a dry place at 73F (23C) or below. Best if refrigerated". Best, for NOT required. And keeping it refrigerated and then taking it back out would cause it to sweat and possible cause degradation of the capsules. So, you SHOULD store it in the refrigerator AFTER you get it home and keep it there. They have done stability studies and so long as you don't keep it on the car dashboard, you are fine.

It stays more potent for a longer amount of time when refrigerated. I don't know if it MUST be, but it is recommended.

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.

I have conversed with the maker and they say that keeping it in the fridge will extend the life of the product. I haven't actually needed to keep using it past the date as our daughter drinks a lot of milk. I also take ours on vacations with us keeping it in my purse for handy use, then back into the fridge when we get home. It's always worked great for her.

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

Once it has been opened it should be kept in the frig as I recall. I would call the manufacturer or look on the label if you are not sure.

I suggest to keep this Sour Cream Powder in the refrigerator. I kept it for a year. Very good.

Thank You,Customer Service I saw this answer to a customer's question. Where does it say that on the bottle that refrigeration is only needed after opening product?

I don't know if it should be refrigerated but I always refrigerate the bottle even when it's unopened to preserve the gentle aroma.
