If it needs refrigeration, why does it not need an ice pack? Viability is inversely related to temperature.

I don't do Super Shield Probiotic any more. Me Dr. said it was not needed and just like all the other Probiotic on the shelf.

If it hasn't been opened, you don't have to refrigerate it. Once opened, you're supposed to.

Per the manufacture it is not necessary for this item to ship refrigerated or with a cold pack.

It would all depend how thawed the ice pack gets and what temperature the freezer is...

The design is more for keeping milk, etc from spoiling. I am sure that if you do not put the pack in the fridge and put something warm in it, it may keep the temperature up a bit longer than if it were left out. good luck

The fridge is fine. Just need to make sure not to get below the freezing point of water.

I havent had much luck keeping my food as cold as it should be for the price. Have had to replace the ice packs and buy my own and some days I use 4 ice packs. I wouldnt think of carrying milk around since my yogurt gets a little cooler than room temp rather quickly.

It was not shipped on an ice pack. I understand that this product is ok in room temp.

I'd say that's a very accurate assessment. It does not go as far as they claim. They do not mention to keep it refrigerated, either. It loses its effectiveness rapidly at room temperature. But overall, still a good product and fills a huge need.

I think it should be refrigerated, despite the lack of a manufacturer requirement imho.

When I bought mine, it didn't come on a cold pack either. I think it should be OK since it wasn't out of the freezer for several days. The one I have works great.

Correction to our previous answer- we use ice packs in shipping during warm months or shipping to warm climates. In the winter, shipping to cold states, the temperature maintained during shipping is well below room temperature, and an ice pack is not required.

It's not necessary. The bottle says to store between 59-86 degrees and not to freeze.

Hello John! As with most other supplement companies, we do not ship products with a cold/ice pack. Manufacturers are aware that products are not going to be refrigerated 100% of the time during transit, therefore the amount of organisms exceeds the product label claim to ensure that by the time the product gets to you, it will still contain the amount indicated on the label. We hope this information is helpful! Jessi V.

I always use an ice pack to keep my food cool. Never considered not using an ice pack. Hope this helps!

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!

Ice pack does freeze solid. As for using it in your cooler, I'm uncertain as to how long it will remain solid. I'd suggest just trying it out. However, I think it might work. My use of it is for therapy purposes, and I would highly recommend it for that. It's better than any locally sold.
