It is recommended by the manufacturer. If you order the item as a "fulfilled by Amazon" unfortunately the item will not be refrigerated while in-transit.

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.

Hello Valued Customer, We do not ship any of our product cold-packed or refrigerated. You can be assured the ship time is not long enough to require any kind of temperature-controlled shipping. After much testing, the quality is not compromised during shipping times.

The storage handling on the label states to store at controlled temperatures. It would be assumed that shipping and handling should also be at controlled temperatures. However, "controlled temperatures" is not clarified. I store mine where it will be cool and not frozen or subject to hot temperatures.

Hello! We do not use refrigerated carriers to ship orders. Please be assured that the product is hermetically sealed and the probiotic count exceeds the label claim to ensure all label claims hold true at the point of receipt for the customer. Refrigeration is recommended once opened. We hope this information is helpful!

No. There is no refrigeration requirement noted on bottle. It says only to keep and a "cool, dry place" I consider this to be one of the big benefits of this product, besides the key fact that it works well.

No it does not need to be refrigerated. If you notice, in grocery stores, they don't refrigerate them.

Hello Christina, We do not refrigerate this product during shipment. The products are kept in a temperature-controlled environment at our facility right up until the time they're shipped to customers. While extended exposure to high temperatures could have an effect, the shipping time is not long enough to have a significant impact on the quality of the products.

The manufacturer, Nature's Plus, states that it only needs to be kept in a cool, dry location. It is not necessary for it to be refrigerated.

It's best to keep refrigerated to maintain its potency and efficacy. But I called the company and it can be shipped unrefrigerated for a short time but not during hot weather. Hope that helps.

No refrigeration needed. I first saw this at Costco and the rep demoing it said you dont need to refrigerate after opening but it needs to be kept out of direct sunlight and heat.
