If I order this, can you cold pack it? We live overseas (APO) and shipping time will definitely degrade the quality of the probiotic.

Hello there, Udo's don't supply us with this item in a cold pack. We don't offer this service as udo's advised us it is not necessary. Kind Regards, Grace

Most probiotic labels only guarantee their 20 billion live culture claim at manufacture, not at the consumer. The manufacturer has no control over how carefully the product is handled once they ship it to a distributor. For example if the product is allowed to sit in high temperatures in a warehouse, that will negatively impact the number of probiotic cultures that survive. I for one would not recommend purchasing probiotics by mail during the summer as they will roast sitting in mail/delivery trucks.

Hi Cruella, Yes, it's best for the life of the probiotics if they are refrigerated. Also, probiotics in general can be susceptible to moisture so try not to leave them outside the fridge for any length of time when you do take them out. Best thing is to open the bottle, get your probiotics and then put the bottle straight back in the fridge. They will last longer and work better this way. Regards Aaron Parker CEO, MightySupp

Hi Christina, as JW and Gigi have pointed out, the answer is Yes. There is probably one caveat to that, and that is, if the probiotics have already been in refrigeration for a long time then you'd probably want to get one of those little cold bags (you know the foil type ones) and keep them in there while travelling. If you're going on an extended trip and you have a new unopened bottle, then don't put the probiotics in the fridge to begin with until you've finished your travels. That will keep the probiotics stable throughout your trip. Hope that helps.

We ship all probiotics with an ice pack. However, in accordance to the manufacturer's shipping policy, the ice packs will not remain frozen. As long as the probiotics are shipped with a frozen ice pack, there potency will be maintained during transit, even if the ice pack is completely warm and thawed upon arrival. THDV Staff

We do not ship any products in cold packs. We have found that the delivery time is not long enough to damage the quality of Probiotic supplements. Also, reputable companies package their supplements in such a way as to minimize deterioration from heat during transit. The supplement is subject to higher than average temperatures several times during its way from the raw materials supplier to your door, and it has to be packaged to preserve as much of the original potency as possible. Hermetically sealing a supplement provides barrier between your supplement and oxygen, the catalyst element that reacts with heat to cause oxidation or spoilage.We hope this information is helpful. -Swanson Health Products We do not ship any products in cold packs.

Master Supplements has been GREAT, I have ordered from them many times from Amazon. I have ordered Probiotics online for years, many come completely un-insulated. It arrives well wrapped/insulated in bubble wrap. I have found this to be more than adequate. It may appear a bit more expensive, however.... There are other less expensive suppliers, even with more elaborate insulation, but I don't want my package in transit for MANY days longer. With those less expensive suppliers, you can pay for faster shipping, but then you're back up to 'expensive'... I go with Amazon/Master Supplements and be done with it!

Yes, but it's a great probiotic so it's worth that trouble. When I travel, I get Dr. Ohhira's probiotics because they're live cultures, but they don't have to be refrigerated.

Hello Valued Customer, We do not ship any of our product cold-packed or refrigerated. You can be assured the ship time is not long enough to require any kind of temperature-controlled shipping. After much testing, the quality is not compromised during shipping times.

As per Custom Probiotics website, "the loss at room temperature wthin a few weeks is very low. We can therefore assure you that the quality of our very high potency probiotic dietary supplements will not be compromised." Here at Sun Organics, we do keep all our probiotics refrigerated and suggest you do the same upon receipt. Our goal is to provide you value products at affordable prices. To add cool packs would add at least $10 to the product cost. WARNING: ANY SELLER SHIPPING VIA AMAZON FULFILLMENT - AMAZON DOES NOT OFFER REFRIGERATED WAREHOUSING, SO PRODUCT WILL DETERIORATE.

It is out in a box without anything to keep it cool or insulate it. Do not purchase this from here. You'll get dead probiotics.
