In addition to other replies, also note that this capsule is not enteric coated, thus most of the organisms will be killed in your GI tract (gut).

Here is a link that NOW Foods sent me when I emailed them about their potency levels and refrigeration. Hope it helps!http://www.nowfoods.com/Quality/Quality-Notes/088797.htm

It says on the bottle it does, but I contacted the company and they said that during shipping they dont use ice packs. You need to refrigerate once opened to maintain potency of the probiotic. They said its guaranteed at least 25 billion. It dosent make since to me though, wouldnt it be logical to ship with an ice pack and then guarantee higher than 25 billion. Its almost like false advertising if they state 50 billion on the bottle, yet guarantee 25 billion, thats half lost. Just ship with an ice pack already...just my two cents.

No, you don't necessarily need to refrigerate it. I keep it on my countertop and it has not lost its scent or taste.

No refrigeration needed. I first saw this at Costco and the rep demoing it said you dont need to refrigerate after opening but it needs to be kept out of direct sunlight and heat.

Hello yes it does need to refrigerated after opening. It reads so on the bottle. I have it and think it is a great product. I will be purchasing again. Thank you!

It does need to be refrigerated, but the temps indicated on the bottle would accomodate normal transport. It's just not supposed to be stored at hot temperatures, basically. Room temp ok and refrigeration when you get it.

No. There is no refrigeration requirement noted on bottle. It says only to keep and a "cool, dry place" I consider this to be one of the big benefits of this product, besides the key fact that it works well.

Of what I have read, it is not necessary to refrigerate. However, I do to maintain the potency and freshness. The vendor or manufacturer should be contacted for a more definitive answer.

No, it doesn't need refrigerated. Just a note, if you like your drink sweet, it takes a LOT of the sweetener.

No, it does not. My Naturopathic doctor said it does not need refrigeration.

I dont think it has to be refrigerated. However, I did it the day before and kept it in the fridge overnight. I think it will stay as long as u need it to.

Refrigeration is only needed after opening this product to maintain its high potency. However, this product is not shipped refrigerated. Thank You, Customer Service

It does not need refrigeration. It reduces the fishy taste in some supplements, but this one is tasteless either way.

It does not need to be refrigerated. So for example if you are traveling with it, it's okay to keep it out. But if you are just going to keep it at home, it's a good idea to keep it in the fridge.

This product does not need to be refrigerated. In fact I don't recommend it. It lasts indefinitely in a cool place sealed.
