My husband's medication must stay refridgerated at all times, does this stay cold like a refriderator for a good period of time? he travels alot for work. Also will it stay cold in carry on luggage for an extented period of time?

I don't think these will keep anything at refrigerated temperatures. It stays nicely cool but not cold. And it can't be placed inside a closed-up bag because it needs air circulation to cool it.

It has not been kept cold AFAIK. I have had good results by keeping it in the plastic wrap and storing it in a dark drawer, that's opened about 3 x /day. I like it because it seems to be just as readily absorbed as a sublingual tablet, in much less time. Do hold a dropper in your mouth as long as is practical, before swallowing, swallow half, hold it a little longer, swallow it all. The insides of your cheeks, your gums, and to some extent your tongue, all help the liquid to get to your blood stream almost immediately, instead of having to be processed by your stomach.

I have not used my cooler under those conditions. However, I take it to an office building loading up my food and drink for the day at 7:00 a.m. and returning to the hotel oftentimes at 8:00 p.m. and my food/drinks are very definitely cold on my return. I like to carry a baggie of ice from the icemaker in the hotel and at the end of the day I still have a significant quantity of ice which has not melted. Hope that helps.

It holds insuline for more than 12 hours in weather conditions less than 27C. I could not tellthe temp inside, but I use it to travel (trips that are more than 12 h) and haven´t had any problems with my insuline (Apidre and Lantus).

I keep mine in the refrigerator once opened which the company prefers. However, if it is kept in a cool dry place it should be fine (per Amazing Grass). I have traveled with mine at room temp for short periods of time with no problems...even after is has been stored cold.

I do store it in the refrigerator, but I've been told since 1990s that it is not required. I do NOT travel without it! You can take it if you experience a bad food episode. Since I have the sensitive stomach of the family, I can testify it helped me on one trip. You take one or two capsules every 15 minutes or so until your trouble is over one way or the other. This is not to keep anyone from going to the ER for serious cases, but mine are usually not that serious. My husband took it one time and found relief also.

It is kept in the refridgerator, and as long as nobody drinks from the bottle its good for 3 months. Alive is the best! I have been taking it for 6 years

We order directly from Ortho Molecular. We have been using this particular product for over a year and not had any problems. This formula is designed so that it doesn't have to be refrigerated. We keep it in the cabinet with the rest of the medicine.

Yes! I have traveled with frozen meats and other items from NY to the Caribbean and everything was frozen as a rock. I did have trouble with the cooler handles, which would not lock into place. I constantly had to stop and pull the handles up. I have two of these coolers and they both have the same problem. I notified the vendor because I believe it's a design defect. The handles are are similar to a luggage carrier handles and there are two metal sprockets (I'm not sure if that's the correct term) that pop out once you extend the handles fully. Unfortunately, once you start rolling the cooler, these sprockets on either side recede back in and the handle comes down. The vendor sent me a another cooler and I had the same issue. Other than that, it's quite roomy even with ice packs, etc. and will keep your food frozen for hours. I would check the cooler in at the airport and once I got to my final destination several hours later the contents were still frozen.

easily for a few hours, a flight would be a breeze to keep it chilled - but remember with FAA rules you cannot bring beverages on board- but for medicines or baby'smilk, etc youd be fine. We absolutely love it- take it on car trips a lot and the beach and it stays cold for a long time- ice packs also hold well inside if you know there will be a long period of time it wont be plugged in. We also bought a $30 converter with it that you can plug into a regular outlet a lot of planes have plugs nowadays too. So, if it is for medicine if you cal lthe airlines theyd find a seat for you that has an outlet too- enjoy! easily for a few hours, a flight would be a breeze to keep it chilled - but remember with FAA rules you cannot bring beverages on board- but for medicines or baby'smilk, etc youd be fine.

I have been permitted to carry it in on flights. I followed advice I read somewhere to freeze it as solid as possible first. I don't know whether that made a difference. In any event as long as you declare it, meaning you tell the officers as you're going through security that you have it and any other liquids, they should be able to swab it and let you through. No guaranties, but I've never had a problem. Sending it with your checked luggage wouldn't be a problem. Good luck!

They have an excellent website that will answer all your questions. But as I understand it...it will not go bad if left unrefrigerated BUT it is best if you freeze the unused portion...leaving it out will not make it go bad...refrigeration is good of course...freezing it is best/ I take the powder to work with me...it is unrefrigerated for 12 plus hours and it is fine.

Hello caromtns. Yes, alhaytham is correct. It should be refrigerated to extend the life of the micro-organisms in the capsule. We will be looking into an encapsulation process that eliminates the need for refrigeration, in the new year. Thank you for your question, caromtns. And thank you for your reply, alhaytham. Amazon is the biggest retail platform in the world, it is this type of 'conversation' that creates community and unbiased feedback that is essential for the consumer to make the right choice for them.

I send lunch with our daughter, and there is an ice pack with it. When she gets home, it is not still frozen- or cold for that matter. I pack her lunch at 8:30, and she gets home at 4:00. I am sure it keeps until 12:00, which is all I really need. May I suggest a small Igloo cooler, instead? I can say that it is a great, sturdy product. Easy to clean- no smelly cracks that don't clean well. I am very happy with it, and it will last for years.

Mine was fine opened and covered in the refridgerator for a few months. Probably not the best idea, but it was fine. I have another brand unopened on the shelf, last I opened one it was fine.

I like it! I use it for keeping medicines cool when we're on the road. It keeps contents chilled for a good 8-10 hours, is easily tucked away in a large handbag or carry on & the ice pack "recharges" if placed in a small refrigerator overnight. It's a good buy.

I seem to get questions, all the time, about this product that I purchased some time ago. I 'm certainly not an expert on it. I can tell you that I refrigerated my bottle and would bring it to room temperature before using it. I had it for quite a while since it is used in small amounts. I never suffered any ill effects from it.
