I live in Peru, so when I receive the product after 2 weeks and it wasnt in the refrigeration. Does it means the product was ruined?

Label says "for best results, refrigerate after opening". Apparently it lasts a very long time.My mistake. It says 6/15/15 which would be about 2 years after purchase.

We ship world wide 365 days per year. In 17 years nothing has ever spoiled. I can remember about 5 years ago, a dietitian from Arizona called to say she just got her order and the bases were about 105F (she actually took their temperature) and everything was perfect. Another instance occurred about 3 years ago when we sent a couple dozen cases of beef base to Hong Kong. It was really a slow ship to China. They were in the hot hold of the ship for over 30 days and all were fine. The products are made to withstand extended periods of high heat like what happens in a chefs' kitchen, where it can reach up to 120F. If, when you open them, you find any separation (natural liquids come to the top) just stir altogether from the bottom to the top to an even consistency and they will not separate after that when refrigerated or frozen. They usually don't freeze so hard that you can't scoop out what you need and return it to the freezer. When stored in the freezer their shelf life is indefinite. To sum up... For the few days the product is in transit there is no problem whatsoever. And, if you ever happen to lose power in your house (say for a week) do not throw out the Minor's - it will be just fine. Hope this helps.

I have been told that as soon as a probiotic that needs to be refridgerated becomes warm (not regrifgerated) it is no longer as potentially useful. Are you saying that a two day shipment will not effect the product?

Yes, it needs to be refrigerated after opening. It will last for up to two weeks if refrigerated.

I didn't refrigerate them and they tasted good for at least a week because I kept the bag sealed (I can't remember if I sealed them in its own bag or in a zip lock bag.) But after that I don't know. I forgot about them after that and worried about getting sick so I threw them out. But I know for a week for sure.

The product says "BEST REFRIGERATED", but also says to keep between a certain temperature range. The biggest thing is that if the product is being shipping not refrigerated, you are talking about major damage being occurred. Add to that that the UPS box stays sitting in the heat outside for hours before you can retrieve the box...and you have a problem.

Hello! In order to maintain the potency of this product, we do require refrigeration once the item is received. However, we do not ship any products in cooled packaging. We have found that the delivery time is not long enough to damage the quality or potency. We hope this information is helpful. Take care. Swanson Health Products

I don't think it causes any problems. I've been using it from Amazon for over 2 yrs. I refrigerate it once I receive it, but I don't know where it's been before that. I feel it would be the same case with the health food stores. They may refrigerate it, but who knows what goes on before it gets to them. This is from Barlean's site - "Either high heat (over 300 degrees F) or sustained heat over a very long period of time can degrade Omega-3 oils. The relatively short transit times and variable seasonal temperatures encountered during transit have been found to be insignificant when tested extensively. Even shipments arriving in summer heat waves can be assured as being potent and undamaged." I don't think it causes any problems. I've been using it from Amazon for over 2 yrs.

Mine was wrapped up for two weeks before I used it. I don't know how long you can actually keep it packaged.

No, I ordered several times from different vendors via amazon and first two times it was sent with an ice pack, last two times I ordered, product arrived hot and I was unable to give to my son! Called company and they told me unless, ordered from a physician's office, these so called vendors should not be selling this product and the company is not Liable for how long it has been stored or shelved without refrigeration! We have no way of knowing! I would not recommend, better to be safe than sorry!

It probably got cold during shipping. Warm it up under hot tap water and see if it clears up. Jojoba oil solidifies at cold temperatures. Throw it in the fridge and you'll see what i mean.

I have not had any problems with it not being refrigerated. You may want to refrigerate after opening.

Formerly this product had a warning on the package that it is to be refrigerated. However. it looks like that warning has been taken off of the label with the same ingredients! A phone call to the manufacturer yielded a message that it wold be good to refrigerate. A competitor to Amazon ships this product in a cold pack even when the product is going a short distance (a hundred miles or so).

I also think you should contact the seller. I've never had that problem. Either it got really hot in transit or it's from a old batch. Good luck!
