Is this probiotic to be kept refrigerated?

No - each pill is individually sealed, and the package can be stored at ambient temperature.

No, as you know, most probiotics do need to be refrigerated but this one does not which makes it good for travel.

Refrigeration not necessary....does not suggest that anywhere on the packaging.

I do not refrigerate my probiotics ever. So it should be ok to send it to your location.

No it doesn't need to be refrigerated after opening. It is soft and easier to work with when room temperature. If you are uncomfortable with this, go ahead and put it in the fridge. It will harden and become a little more difficult to work with but it is fine to stay room temperature.

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!

I keep it in the refrigerator ... I've read that will keep the bacteria alive longer. When I received it, it was not kept cool in the box.

I think its good for a few months after you open it, probiotics always recommend you put them in the fridge for longer life and freshness.

Yes, it does have to be refrigerated. It has 10 probiotic strains, and 50 billion live cultures per capsule. Contents are on the box.

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.

Some of the probiotic foods and pills need to be refrigerated. These and some other probiotic pills don't need refrigeration. I'm not positive why.

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.

I would say yes. But I don't work for the company, so I have no way of knowing for sure. However, I can say that Pure Encapsulations products are considered by top healthcare professionals to be of the highest quality, so it would be odd if they didn't kept their probiotics refrigerated. If you are worried, you could switch to their shelf stable probiotic, called Pure Encapsulations Probiotic GI. I use them all the time when I travel because I don't always have access to a fridge, and they do not require refrigeration. It says so on the label. I have found that this does not make them any less efficacious.

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

I have not refrigerated it, keep it in a dark, cool pantry, tightly closed and it is fine. Good luck

Would refrigerate after mixing for about the same time period as normal yogurt. Can't guarantee that it is organic.

Yes, but it's a great probiotic so it's worth that trouble. When I travel, I get Dr. Ohhira's probiotics because they're live cultures, but they don't have to be refrigerated.

It didn't say on the bottle to refrigerate it, but I keep it in the refrigerator to keep it fresh. I like this brand because it is shelf stable so I use it both while traveling and at home.

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.
