Does this come packaged in an ice pack?

Ice packs are not included when your order is fulfilled by Amazon and are included when fulfilled by merchants listing offers to ship with ice and the buyer sees clearly the ice pack is included when making their purchase. More importantly, however than the question as to whether the product comes with an ice pack or not is the question regarding necessity of an ice pack. It's significant to note that while many buyers of Klaire Labs probiotics insist these products require refrigeration to ship, the manufacturer does not. The manufacturer reports in their summer 2011 update on probiotics; "At Klaire Labs, we conduct real-time stability studies on all our probiotic products to assess their long-term viability at both refrigerated and room temperatures. Data we've obtained from independent laboratory tests indicate our products maintain a relatively high degree of stability at room temperature for up to five months and then gradually begin to lose potency (see graph below). This suggests that while our probiotics require refrigeration to maintain viability over time, they do not quickly die off at room temperatures. Products may be taken out of the refrigerator for weeks or even months without a significant loss of viable organisms. Products shipped to customers with cold packs also retain excellent viability even if the cold packs are thawed and the product no longer feels cold to the touch at the time of arrival. To further ensure the potency of our products, we routinely formulate with "overages" so that even small losses of activity that may occur during shipping, handling, and storage are insignificant."

this particular company did not ship in ice pack. however it was 2 day shipping and so is fine in cold weather. Summer......one needs to find a supplier who uses the ice pack.

The first answer make it seem as though the ice packs are pointless, however, reading the wording closely from the company indicates that at ROOM temperature the product maintains potency. Considering it's summer time, and with the temperatures reached in most warehouses, shipping containers, and trucks - the likelihood that room temperature (73.4ºF) or lower is maintained is not very good. Plus, if the seller is not including an ice pack, you have to wonder if they are even storing their stock in a refrigerator...... If you are purchasing a high quality probiotic, it's worth ensuring you're getting what you pay for; both in quality and effectiveness.

Yes, it does come with ice packs. It works best with cold water and the ice packs in a combination. Keeps the room cool throughout the summer night.

Yes, an ice pack. There is a mesh holder for one on the inside lid of the carrying case. PlanetBox sells their own line of ice pack, but any of the rectangular ones will work fine.

Yes! We ship All "non shelf stable" probiotics (from any brand) with an ice pack inside an insulated thermal bag. We have to charge $5 extra to cover the cost. Furthermore, we use USPS Priority 1-3 days shipping for ALL standard shipping orders. Look at the condition in any probiotic listing and you will see our policy.Regards,Holly Hill Health FoodsCustomer Service

Mine came with an ice pack. Not sure if this is regular practice or not. My chiropractor sells this brand for $35 flat, so I just purchase from him now instead.

It comes with them, I give this ice pack an 8 out of 10. Definitely worth buying until I invent a better version.

It does come with ONE large ice pack to fit the pocket in the wrap. It worked great on my shoulder when I fell and broke it.

It comes w/ice pack but I fill w/ice cubes. Definitely cools air. Loud on high, not bad on M & quiet on low.

It does not come with it. I contacted them when I ordered it months ago about it and they told me they were taking that part off of their page so not to false advertise but I guess they didn't. Mine just came with the ice pack and the thermometer that is attached on the inside. So it is normal unfortunately because that was one of the main reasons I had ordered it to begin with. Hope this helps.Mandi

Hello,Unfortunately this item is not shipped with ice. We have three separate warehouses that this could potentially ship from. They are in North Dakota, Nevada, and Pennsylvania. Our shipping takes 7-10 business days or less for $4.99.Kally N

Hello Karen, We do ship it frozen and we include ice packs, but very likely the product will not arrive frozen to its destination. I hope this answers your question!
