go to pureformulas.com You can chat or call one of their reps. I have been ordering from them for years. They are terrific and very knowledgeable. They carry the premium brands and middle tier brands if price is a consideration. Pure Encapsulations, the brand you are looking at now, is very good and many physicians recommend them for their high quality (no metals, fillers, etc.).

No. This needs to be refrigerated, but is the best product I have found. There is only one place that ships refrigerated and it is pureformulas dot com. They also have the best prices.

Should be ok because it is an acid, not a live probiotic. It's the live probiotics that can die off if heated.

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.

No it's not. I was told, though, by a health food store that it maintains a lot of the natural bacteria for awhile without refrigeration. They pack extra in to allow for it.

I bought mine recently from Amazon and the label is different than the one in this picture. Mine looks like is the newer label (White, green, blue). I can tell our probiotics are working so I think ours is legit.

Actually, there is no approval process for any probiotics with the FDA. With that said, our probiotics are grown, tableted and bottled in the US by a NSF Certified GMP manufacturer. Our probiotic formulas are grown, harvested and tableted in the US and we adhere to the strictest quality control and FDA compliance. Our manufacturing partner has been making probiotics since 1983 and they manufacture for many other prominent brands. I hope this helps to answer your question!

I checked with the Amazon page and it says "There are 5 billion live cultures in 1gr of L. Acidophilus ("Narine" Probiotics), which we use in FruitsMax. But since each tablet consists of 1/10 of probiotics and 9/10 of 21 fruits, accordingly a tablet (1gr) has 500 million live cultures in it and the daily recommended 2 tablets (2gr) have 1 billion live cultures. It is important to mention that the 21 fruits become Prebiotics (food) for the Probiotics, strengthening them for better performance and also helping them to multiply faster in our gut." I hope this helps. I have been using FruitsMax for over a year - love it. I checked with the Amazon page and it says "There are 5 billion live cultures in 1gr of L.

Hello, Thank you for contacting Swanson Health Products! We are happy to help! We do not ship probiotics refrigerated. However, please be assured that 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. We ship the products to our customers, exactly how we receive them. Please also be assured that this product is stored at our Swanson facility under refrigeration at all times. As long as your product is sealed and not in direct sunlight, its potency and integrity will not be compromised. We hope this information is helpful! If there is anything we can do to further assist you, please let us know. Our quality, value and customer service have made Swanson Health Products a trusted source of nutritional supplements since 1969. To help us build this privileged relationship with you, we welcome your comments and suggestions, as it is our pleasure to serve you at any time. Sincerely, Kimberly B. Swanson Health Products Customer Account Specialist

No, this is the purest & best one I found/trust for my girls. If the ingredients aren't listed on amazon, check it out on vitacost.com. They list ingredients & honestly if order it from vitacost over amazon. Amazon doesn't cold pack it, vitacost does. Probiotics need to stay cold or they loose thier potency & live cultures. It's same price & free shipping if you order $49 worth of stuff, so bulk up if need & buy 2-3 at a time;) good luck

I really do not know. Our dog was real healthy and she died a natural death at the age of 14. We always fed her Premium Edge and she had no health problems. The label should tell if it contains probiotics. Sorry I could not be more help.

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

Excellent question. I am concerned about this and i called this probiotic manufacturer. They said that in buying the vendor should refrigerate. I decided NOT to buy probiotic from anyone anymore unless I know the refrigeration is complete manufacture to selling.

Sorry, but I have no scientific background. The description says it is probiotics. I am just a customer who bought it.

No, room temperature is fine. It is the only probiotic that I have found to work. Be sure to wait 2 hours after eating to take it.

Keeping the probiotics refrigerated helps to keep the bacteria fresh which makes it more beneficial for your gut flora. I have left it out over night and still have the benefits. The Udo's web site states that it can be kept on the shelf for up to one month but the bacteria begins to lose it important potency. I hope this helped with your question.

I believe so but I haven't done the research. However, a very well-known, well-respected doctor in my area recommended this probiotic to me to use while I was on 6 different antibiotics.
