Will capsules be effected by high heat in the desert? If so, can they be refrigerated in a cooler?

Shouldn't be a problem, I ride in the heat of Central California and 29 Palms and they are fine. I keep them in room temperature when at home. Just keep them dry.

They don't need to be refrigerated. I have used these in the Gobi Desert, Central America and the South Pacific. They had no problem holding up to heat. They of course should not get wet.

I put them in a small baggie and keep them in my bike jersey so heat is not an issue. They're powdered so just keep them dry I suppose. I leave them in my car with no issues.

Here is info. from Garden of Life for Primal Defense Ultra: http://www.gardenoflife.com/Products-for-Life/Digestive-Health/Primal-Defense.aspxScroll down to the table; the answer is no (whereas a lot of such products do need refrigeration, PL Primal Defense Ultra does NOT). I believe the box it comes in also says that, but the bottle does not. Also, it is a tinted glass bottle, so no worry about sunlight either.

I can't say as I've never tried refrigerating the bottle. The tablets have a strong smell. However, I only notice it when the cap is off. Whether or not it would affect anything in the refrigerator is out of my experience. I'm sorry that I can't help you more.

I am in So. California and use them at dog agility practice and trials where temps can be up to 100 degrees. So far I have experienced no loss of effectiveness. I do carry them in the outer pocket of my cooler bag and out of direct sun but I know they still get warm as any chocolate energy bars melt. At home I do not refrigerate them.

No it does not need refrigeration. they are powdered capsules that you can open and close and sprinkle on food.

If U R asking Can U take it with U while traveling. It depends on the weather, how cold or hot. I keep it in a cool place such as in a motel room with air conditioning as opposed 2 in a hot car. Don't know how long it survives if no refrigeration over several days. We like this product b/c it has 12 strains in it & take 1 morning & night each day.

Dear Bonnie,We are happy to say that we do ship during the summer. Test results prove that the product continues to meet the label claim for potency which tells us that the supplements are able to withstand heat during shipment without damage. As long as you keep the supplements in a cool, dry place once you receive them, they will be fine.-Kally N

I was told by my physician to keep them refrigerated. I did that and would only take one out to use immediately. With this process, I had no problem whatsoever. I would not freeze these suppositories, but would definitely refrigerate them. In response to any better way to buy, I would say that they're available at drugstores, but cost approximately $4.00 more than the amazon price.

The bottle suggests refrigeration once open but I store mine on a cool dry location and it works just fine. I know living in hotter and more humid climates more goods can be maintained through refrigeration... I guess you'll have to call the manufacturer. Sorry I'm not much help.

Hello, Unfortunately we do not ship items with ice packs. When a manufacturer formulates a probiotic, they are aware that the product will not be able to be refrigerated 100% of the time. The manufacturer knows that products will not be shipped refrigerated, therefore there is a very decent amount of time allowed so that a product can be shipped and still exceed its potency. Please also be assured that this product is stored at our temperature-controlled facility at all times. As long as your product is sealed and not in direct sunlight, its potency and integrity will not be compromised. We also send probiotics continually to third party laboratories in all months, including the hottest ones, to ensure that the product does hold up to the label claims. So far we have ran into no issues concerning the products. We hope this information is helpful! Best in Health, Jessi V.

Good question. I'm not sure if it has to be refrigerated, but I never did. I just kept it in a cool place out of sunlight and away from areas of increased heat. Maybe contacting the company would provide you with a more specific answer.

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

I didn't. You don't have to refrigerate the capsules, so I assume you don't have to refrigerate the liquid. Best answer I can give.

I have had them turn mushy and stick in the heat in the car on a summer vaca trip and then I was afraid to give them to my kids. If it is in your house you could keep them in the fridge if you don't have a/c. But I would worry about shipping like the other person mentioned. I love them for my kids though. They sell them at lots of places and you can watch for them to go on sale.

Yes, refrigeration helps extend the life and potency of all your supplements, especially during hot or humid conditions.
