No they didn't when I got my package, but I believe refrigeration is optional. However I did put mine in the fridge right away.

they absolutely do not pack w/ice. not only that, but i had a quality assurance issue. my bottle contained an empty capsule & a crimped half of another capsule. the company said it was no big deal. i paid for the quantity on the container but received less. i'm dissatisfied w/this company. i have switched to garden of life RAW probiotics. they contain much higher amounts of bacteria but they are also NOT shipped on ice. good luck.

No, they have always been delivered to me in a regular box without any ice packs.

Actually - no - but the product still seemed to do it's job, even without constant refrigeration - sometimes they would get left in my purse, etc. and it still helped keep my system in good shape. I was in bad need of being rebalanced with the proper probiotics and it brought about a "cure. I've been free of troubles for over 2 months now after using one bottle.

Good question. I read up on probiotics and chose this because (1) apparently probiotic formulas have some life in them. Much the same way yeast has to be carefully preserved, anti-biotics have to be refrigerated and used in a timely fashion. This was the only product I saw that advised refrigeration. Needless to say, I didn't get a whole bunch of it, but tried a bottle at a time.

Hello Kristina, No, we do not ship with cold packs. However, the manufacturers are aware that products are not going to be refrigerated 100% of the time, especially with companies having to ship the products, and the bacteria exceed the label claims at the time of manufacture to ensure that the bacterial are still viable and as quoted on the label up until their expiration date. We hope this information is helpful!Best in Health, Jessi V.

Hello John! As with most other supplement companies, we do not ship products with a cold/ice pack. Manufacturers are aware that products are not going to be refrigerated 100% of the time during transit, therefore the amount of organisms exceeds the product label claim to ensure that by the time the product gets to you, it will still contain the amount indicated on the label. We hope this information is helpful! Jessi V.

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.

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.

Unlike other live probiotics, it doesn't require refrigeration. If you use it everyday, it will last about 30 days, but it will keep great during transport and throughout normal use. We've used this probiotic for about a year now with great results. The branding for the US has changed a bit and Gerber started carrying it, they call it colic sooth. It's the same company (biogaia) and dose information is exactly the same as well. Great product!

No, this is the purest & best one I found/trust for my girls. If the ingredients aren't listed on amazon, check it out on vitacost.com. They list ingredients & honestly if order it from vitacost over amazon. Amazon doesn't cold pack it, vitacost does. Probiotics need to stay cold or they loose thier potency & live cultures. It's same price & free shipping if you order $49 worth of stuff, so bulk up if need & buy 2-3 at a time;) good luck

It does say on the bottle to keep in a dry place, avoid excessive heat. I do know that probiotics should be kept out of the heat (colder the better), but this isn't a probiotic. I try to keep all my supplements in cooler areas. If you are having it shipped then I would only purchase it in cooler months (depending on yours and shippers location)... or buy local.

Master Supplements has been GREAT, I have ordered from them many times from Amazon. I have ordered Probiotics online for years, many come completely un-insulated. It arrives well wrapped/insulated in bubble wrap. I have found this to be more than adequate. It may appear a bit more expensive, however.... There are other less expensive suppliers, even with more elaborate insulation, but I don't want my package in transit for MANY days longer. With those less expensive suppliers, you can pay for faster shipping, but then you're back up to 'expensive'... I go with Amazon/Master Supplements and be done with it!

I take probiotics that don't have to be refrigerated recommended my by doctor. Years ago the only kind you could find were the ones in the fridge. That has all changed.

Hello caromtns. Yes, alhaytham is correct. It should be refrigerated to extend the life of the micro-organisms in the capsule. We will be looking into an encapsulation process that eliminates the need for refrigeration, in the new year. Thank you for your question, caromtns. And thank you for your reply, alhaytham. Amazon is the biggest retail platform in the world, it is this type of 'conversation' that creates community and unbiased feedback that is essential for the consumer to make the right choice for them.

Sorry we do not ship with any ice packs. They do not need any refrigeration for short time during shipping. When opened for use or when kept in inventory they should be kept under refrigeration. Thank you House of Nutrition

As per Custom Probiotics website, "the loss at room temperature wthin a few weeks is very low. We can therefore assure you that the quality of our very high potency probiotic dietary supplements will not be compromised." Here at Sun Organics, we do keep all our probiotics refrigerated and suggest you do the same upon receipt. Our goal is to provide you value products at affordable prices. To add cool packs would add at least $10 to the product cost. WARNING: ANY SELLER SHIPPING VIA AMAZON FULFILLMENT - AMAZON DOES NOT OFFER REFRIGERATED WAREHOUSING, SO PRODUCT WILL DETERIORATE.

I went on their website to ask this very same thing and found that this particular one does not require refrigeration. I always keep my supplements in the fridge anyways so that's where it went.

Yes we always ship this with an ice pack. It is sent priority so generally arrives in two days. We do not usually send probiotics on Fridays unless it is winter or being shipped to a local address or on Saturdays unless it is winter. Thank you for your inquiry. We look forward to serve you.Sincerely, Stephanie

It says on the bottle it does, but I contacted the company and they said that during shipping they dont use ice packs. You need to refrigerate once opened to maintain potency of the probiotic. They said its guaranteed at least 25 billion. It dosent make since to me though, wouldnt it be logical to ship with an ice pack and then guarantee higher than 25 billion. Its almost like false advertising if they state 50 billion on the bottle, yet guarantee 25 billion, thats half lost. Just ship with an ice pack already...just my two cents.
