No, I ordered several times from different vendors via amazon and first two times it was sent with an ice pack, last two times I ordered, product arrived hot and I was unable to give to my son! Called company and they told me unless, ordered from a physician's office, these so called vendors should not be selling this product and the company is not Liable for how long it has been stored or shelved without refrigeration! We have no way of knowing! I would not recommend, better to be safe than sorry!

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?

It is not refrigerated when it is delivered. you would have to contact Amazon itself to know if it is refrigerated in the warehouse. My GUESS would be no, but it it is just a guess.

Dear Valued Customer, Thank you for contacting Swanson Health Products! We apologize for any concern and we are happy to help. Please be assured that the shipping time is not long enough to have a significant impact on quality. The products are kept in an air-conditioned environment at our warehouses until the time they're shipped to customers. The bottles themselves are made of food grade plastic to protect the product. The bottles also have an internal induction seal to provide an oxygen barrier which reduces oxidation or spoilage. The majority of our product testing is done at off-site labs and the samples sent for testing are not refrigerated during transit to a testing lab. Test results showing the product continues to meet the label claim for potency tell us that the supplements withstand heat during shipment without damage. Our shipping methods are consistent with other large supplement companies. We know of no other mail order company that refrigerates products during shipping. Even if the product is refrigerated when you see it for sale in a retail store, it may not have been refrigerated during shipment to the store. We hope this information brings you peace of mind. As always, we do offer 100% money back guarantee on all products for up to 1 year past the purchase date. If there is anything we can do to further assist you, please let us know! Christy L.

Unfortunately, Swanson Health Products does not ship any products in cooled environments or dry ice. If a product requires refrigeration, it is stored as such in our warehouse. We have found that delivery the time frame is not long enough to damage the quality or potency. -Swanson Health Products

No, it does not need to be refrigerated after opening. It takes a couple of months to use up a 32 ounce bottle stored at room temperature with no problems

no. it is not refrigerated, and does not need to be, unless individual bottle is open. i buy for my mother, but she says it has a long expiration period.

It does not require refrigeration before or after. It is typically shipped in a box with the plastic air pillows. I would recommend ordering/shipping in the cooler months as opposed to the dead of summer.

Hello, Thank you for contacting Swanson Health Products! We are happy to help! We do not ship products refrigerated. However, please be assured that when a manufacturer formulates a product, they are aware that the product will not be able to be refrigerated 100% of the time. The manufacturer knows that products may not be shipped refrigerated, therefore there is a very decent amount of time allowed so that a product can be shipped and still exceed its potency. We ship the products to our customers, exactly how we receive them. Please also be assured that this product is stored at our Swanson facility under refrigeration at all times. As long as your product is sealed and not in direct sunlight, its potency and integrity will not be compromised. We hope this information is helpful! If there is anything we can do to further assist you, please let us know. Our quality, value and customer service have made Swanson Health Products a trusted source of nutritional supplements since 1969. To help us build this privileged relationship with you, we welcome your comments and suggestions, as it is our pleasure to serve you at any time. Sincerely, Kimberly B.
