Amazon says that this powder must be refrigerated after opening, but I don't see that anywhere on the package or the official website. Which is it?

I don't refrigerate it and it's fine. I use it frequently for a smoothie - 1 cup light soy milk, 2 scoops of protein powder and frozen fruit of your choice. Yum!

I'm on my 5th large container of powdered EAS Lean 15 and have never refrigerated the dry powder. I use this product faithfully and have not seen any difference in taste from the first scoop to the last and do not see anything on label Re refrigeration. Perhaps Amazon is referring to the already mixed product that comes in juice box form.

No refrigeration necessary. I've been using this product for a year and never refrigerated it and there is nothing on the packaging (purchased locally or Amazon--same product) that tells you to do so. Amazon has great pricing!

Actually, the manufacturer does NOT specifically recommend this. And frankly, THEY do not even ship it refrigerated when they ship it to the stores. That is a fact. It is "suggested", but their products say to "Store in a dry place at 73F (23C) or below. Best if refrigerated". Best, for NOT required. And keeping it refrigerated and then taking it back out would cause it to sweat and possible cause degradation of the capsules. So, you SHOULD store it in the refrigerator AFTER you get it home and keep it there. They have done stability studies and so long as you don't keep it on the car dashboard, you are fine.

Nowhere on the bottle does it say refrigerate after opening. I've used it many times with no problem; I love the product.

Hi Kay, the powder can be stored indefinitely without refrigeration. However, if you hydrate the clay by mixing it with water or vinegar, you should refrigerate the mixture. I hope this helps! Thanks for asking!

The package says to store either in the freezer or refrigerator. With other brands, when I kept it in the freezer it seemed to clump up in the freezer but I haven't noticed that yet with this brand

no that's not normal, but I've had that happen with other brands. it's possible the powder package wasn't sealed good. I would believe the product would be fine to use unless the outer box was damaged.

They have an excellent website that will answer all your questions. But as I understand it...it will not go bad if left unrefrigerated BUT it is best if you freeze the unused portion...leaving it out will not make it go bad...refrigeration is good of course...freezing it is best/ I take the powder to work with me...it is unrefrigerated for 12 plus hours and it is fine.

The vegan Jarro-Dophilus formula should be refrigerated. I keep it on the shelf right next to my coconut milk so I remember to take it.

From what I remember, the pressing date was a couple of months before delivery. I don't think the product (or any Amazon food product requiring refrigeration) is kept at a low enough temperature for the product in question.

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!

No. Nor does it need to be kept refrigerated. It comes in a box with blister packets that contain capsules of the powder. You pop out a capsule a day, unscrew it, and sprinkle it over the food. I feed dry kibble and it appears to be a flavor enhancer as well. Andrew (a 65# Airedale) gobbles it up and he's never quite as excited over the other meal of the day that doesn't have the Proviable on it. BTW, this price is about half what my vet charges for the same product.

The powder I do keep in the frig....not sure why other than it says refrigerate after opening on the jar. At least I hope it says that on the bottle. Now the capsules I just keep in my medicine cabinet and it is always cool inside the cabinet. Once we accidently put in the cupboard for a couple of days and the consistency was kind of sticky/clumpy after that.....maybe that is why?

This product should not be added to anything that will be heated. It is a supplement that is added after all cooking is done and the food has cooled to room temperature or refrigerated. Exposing this powder to heat will destroy the nutrients and delicate enzymes. I hope this answers your question. :)

It is supposed to be refrigerated after you open it. It states this on the package but I completely missed it. Like you, I've only used almond flour that does not require refrigeration. After a week, I noticed it started to smell rancid which is when I realized that I was supposed to refrigerate it.

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.

We actually sell this product directly out of our New Life Vitamins warehouse. The probiotics are kept refrigerated here until shipping out to customers. When shipped we send them priority mail with an ice pack in the package. We are not exactly sure how Amazon stores their live probiotics but this is our process here at New Life Vitamins.

I know this is probably way too late (a year!) to help you, but just in case someone else is curious I thought I would answer. The bottle ships in a standard box, unrefrigerated. It's sealed on the outside and under the cap, and the recommendation on the bottle says to refrigerate. A friend of mine works in a health food store and says they do not arrive refrigerated to her store, and they just put them in the refrigerated case after they receive them.
