I live in SWFL & am always concerned about heat damage to supplements when delivered. How do you combat this?

Most products are held in boxes in warehouses once produced, awaiting shipment. Products are then transported in hot trucks to their destination Then the seller will store them in similar conditions until sold. As long as the product is not past it's expiration date, I would not be concerned.

Should be OK for delivery time. When I received the probiotic powder, I stored it in the fridge. Hope that helps.

I had great results with the strips. The only problem I have had is with the strips sticking to the packaging strips and not being able to get them off. It could be because of the heat and them being delivered to me in Fl.

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.

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. :)

Nope! Heat will not diminish the effectiveness of Nuun tablets. A lot of our customers use Nuun specifically because they live/work out IN very hot climates, and need more electrolyte replacement!

BPA is only a problem when heated to a high temp. I wouldn't worry about it

We understand your concern. While extended exposure to high temperatures could have an effect on supplements, the shipping time is not long enough to have a significant impact on the quality of the products. The products are kept in a temperature-controlled environment at our facility right up until the time they're shipped to customers. In addition, the bottles are hermetically sealed to provide an oxygen barrier that helps prevent oxidation or spoilage. We test our products throughout the shelf life to ensure they meet the label claim. Since the samples are not refrigerated during shipment, our testing tells us that our supplements withstand heat during shipment without damage to potency. Swanson Health Products

It was 110 Degree's today in Las Vegas. my jar of cream was ridiculously hot when I took it from the mail box. I have the same concerns!!

I wouldn't bother. I've seen that at least a dozen times in my life. The biggest offenders seem to be nutritional supplements, instant coffee, and food that is packaged in India. I've always just went ahead and used the product, with no ill effects. There are still a few reputable supplement distributors who ship their product with no seal at all.

If they are going to be outside for a while before you take delivery then I would say that temp is to hot. I would say whenever the temp stays steady in the 70's would be a good time to order.

Heat decimates the capsule. I had pre filled some capsules with amino acids, walked about half a mile to the gym, and by the time i got there they were a big pile of jelly mush.

It does say on the bottle to keep in a dry place, avoid excessive heat. I do know that probiotics should be kept out of the heat (colder the better), but this isn't a probiotic. I try to keep all my supplements in cooler areas. If you are having it shipped then I would only purchase it in cooler months (depending on yours and shippers location)... or buy local.

I refrigerate all supplements unless it specifies on the label. I prefer to play it safe.

I haven't ever refrigerated mine and get great results. To be honest, Rainbow light products are some of the first vitamins that I can feel the results with-fantastic stuff!!

The fine print on the package insert says it's not for use with heat-generating appliances. It would be nice if this info was anywhere you could find it before buying and opening the product!

I wouldn't recommend ordering things like this during the hot summer months. Gummies would definitely be subject to melting now so I would buy locally and not having shipping.
