Does it need to be shipped in ice to maintain its potency?

This is a soil based probiotic and does not require any refrigeration whatsoever. Dairy based probiotics are the only strains that need temperature control.

Just use the standard label, make sure the package is not wet or has any ice on it

I do wish they were shipped with dry ice but I've still noticed a major difference in the way I feel after taking them! I'm guessing the effectiveness wasn't compromised TOO much. I make sure to keep them refrigerated myself.

Mine has never been shipped packed in ice. Package says to store at room temperature, not to exceed 75 degrees. Ask your veterinarian's staff if you still have questions as they have similar products mailed to them.

B12 is not shipped with ice to keep it cold. Sorry. It is typically stored at room temperature.

I didn't know it would be shipped with dry ice and it was left at a shipping depot for a few days beforeI picked it up. The package was leaking.

well by the time the shipment got to me the icepack had melted. But that never seemed to alter the effectiveness. I suggest you use an icepack for as far, or as long as possible until you reach your destination :)

I ordered it from iHerb.com. They ship it packed in a cooler with ice (gel type freezer packs) and recommend overnight shipping. It arrived cross country the next morning by 10am as promised and still cold.

GREAT question..... No they DON'T. So buy it somewhere that keeps it refrigerated, before AND during shipping.

Dear Kevin, 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.

the bottle says it requires refrigeration after opening, and no they do not ship cold...

No, it's this in this insulated "bag" which is in a box. Best packaging I've ever seen for frozen items. Cheers!

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."

Intro Info - Juices will be shipped FROZEN to maintain Freshness. Juices will arrive cold, and must be put in freezer till ready to use - hope this helps

Hello, Unfortunately, we do not offer ice packs within packaging. Shipping time is not long enough to have a significant impact on the quality of the products. We test our products throughout the shelf life to ensure they meet the label claim. We ship our products to Arizona to be tested for potency and purity by independent third party labs. Please be assured the potency is still meeting label claim despite shipment in high temperatures. We hope this information is helpful. If there is anything else we can assist you with, please let us know! -Anna H.
