We understand your concern. While extended exposure to high temperatures could have an effect on supplements, the shipping time is not long enough to have a significant impact on the quality of the products. The products are kept in a temperature-controlled environment at our facility right up until the time they're shipped to customers. In addition, the bottles are hermetically sealed to provide an oxygen barrier that helps prevent oxidation or spoilage. We test our products throughout the shelf life to ensure they meet the label claim. Since the samples are not refrigerated during shipment, our testing tells us that our supplements withstand heat during shipment without damage to potency. Swanson Health Products

Debbie, I have contacted the manufacturer about this. They have determined the following: The relatively short transit times and variable seasonal temperatures encountered during transit have been found to be insignificant when tested extensively. Even shipments arriving in summer heat waves can be assured as being potent and undamaged.

Id put it in a zip lock bag. Should work fine. Keep it in the a cool area. Do not place in the fridge.

Hello Christina, We do not refrigerate this product during shipment.

The product says "BEST REFRIGERATED", but also says to keep between a certain temperature range. The biggest thing is that if the product is being shipping not refrigerated, you are talking about major damage being occurred. Add to that that the UPS box stays sitting in the heat outside for hours before you can retrieve the box...and you have a problem.

The item can withstand mild temperatures for a few days, when it is sealed. We only ship these out on Mondays and Tuesdays so that the items do not sit over the weekend. We only ship them USPS Priority or UPS Ground. Especially during this time of year, we can safely transport this product by mail and UPS. During the summer, we use ice packs (with insulation) if the package will arrive in 2 days (either if it is sent by UPS 2nd Day Air or close enough to Chicago). If it will not arrive in 2 days, we do not ship it.

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.

Hello! In order to maintain the potency of this product, we do require refrigeration once the item is received. However, we do not ship any products in cooled packaging. We have found that the delivery time is not long enough to damage the quality or potency. We hope this information is helpful. Take care. Swanson Health 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.

I refrigerate mine upon receipt. It is manufactured with more potency than indicated because of it having a shelf life.

We keep ours in frig, but like you it's easy to forget so I use a pill box 1x wk. maybe if you fix 2-3 days worth of Rxs or herbs maybe it will be fresh. When you run out of that supply you can reorganize for the next 2-3 days. You could always check Jarrow.com for more specific guidelines. I don't see on bottle that it needs to be refrigerated.

No need to refrigerate. I have several waiting to be made and store them in a cool dry place.

I normally keep mine in an air tight container in my bathroom, but this stuff needs to refrigerated.

I store mine in the original plastic container it was shipped in. It keeps just fine at room temperature and has not separated or anything like that. Hope this helps! :)

I would recommend keeping refrigerated, and the item did not come in a refrigerated container.

Hi Matthew That is confusing about refrigeration. It should be kept in refrigeration while in inventory and especially after opening should be kept in refrigerator at all times. The short time during shipping and not be under refrigeration does not harm the product. There have been many tests on this subject by many companies and especially Renew Life well documented. I have been shipping these products for 20 years and we have never shipped with any type of refrigeration and there have not been any problems with products. Bobby House of Nutrition

I just purchased this product, and the packaging states "refrigerate after opening."

I think that they process this caviar to be shelf stable. Once it is opened, it has to be refrigerated.
