Can these probiotics be temporarily stored at room temperature when traveling without access to refrigeration?

Hi Christina, as JW and Gigi have pointed out, the answer is Yes. There is probably one caveat to that, and that is, if the probiotics have already been in refrigeration for a long time then you'd probably want to get one of those little cold bags (you know the foil type ones) and keep them in there while travelling. If you're going on an extended trip and you have a new unopened bottle, then don't put the probiotics in the fridge to begin with until you've finished your travels. That will keep the probiotics stable throughout your trip. Hope that helps.

Yes....I haven't ever refrigerated my Mighty Supp Probiotics. They continue to be the best probiotics I have ever tried.

Dear Stacey, We ship all probiotics with an ice pack. However, in accordance to the manufacturer's shipping policy, the ice packs will not remain frozen. As long as the probiotics are shipped with a frozen ice pack, there potency will be maintained during transit, even if the ice pack is completely warm and thawed upon arrival. Please contact us with any additional questions. THDV Staff

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.

Hello, Thank you for contacting Swanson Health Products! We are happy to help! We do not ship probiotics refrigerated. However, please be assured that when a manufacturer formulates a probiotic, they are aware that the product will not be able to be refrigerated 100% of the time. The manufacturer knows that products will 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. Swanson Health Products Customer Account Specialist

No. They are individually wrapped and do not require refrigeration. They are also yummy! Love them. Convenient to use and take with you if you travel.

Unfortunately, Swanson Health Products does not ship any item with a cooled environment. We have found that the delivery time is not long enough to damage the quality or potency of the viable organisms in Probiotics. We hope this is helpful. -Swanson Health Products

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.

Excellent question. I am concerned about this and i called this probiotic manufacturer. They said that in buying the vendor should refrigerate. I decided NOT to buy probiotic from anyone anymore unless I know the refrigeration is complete manufacture to selling.

I ask the same question thinking the probiotic would need refrigeration. No. It doesn't ship cold.

Threelac probiotic does not ship with a cold pack. Refrigeration is not required although the company indicates that consumers may refrigerate if they so wish, however, they caution against potential for freezing as that woulddamage the product. Stability studies have shown claimed activity up till expiration date.

I'm guessing no, because I was told not to refrigerate it. Sounds like room temperature is the best.

I live in Hawaii where it's always warm - This info is from website of manufacturer FAQ's:How should the Proviable products be stored? The direct-fed microbials in Proviable products are microencapsulated to ensure viability with storage at room temperature, not to exceed 77° F, for two years. The expiration dates are found on the packaging. If there is concern about storage at temperatures above 77° F, the Proviable products can be stored in the refrigerator as long as they are not frozen.

I only kept mine refrigerated after opening them. Otherwise, they were good sealed at room temperature.

The capsules are filled with a powder so refrigeration is not needed. Directions say to store at room temperature not to exceed 77 degrees F and out of direct sunlight.

We are Peaceful Planet, an online retailer of high quality supplements and eco-friendly products for the home. We store everything on shelves until they are sold. Once I open my personal bottle, I store it in the cabinet. No need to refrigerate soil based probiotics. I hope this helps, Kerrie Peaceful Planet
