Refrigeration is only needed after opening this product to maintain its high potency. However, this product is not shipped refrigerated. Thank You,Customer Service I saw this answer to a customer's question. Where does it say that on the bottle that refrigeration is only needed after opening product?

No, does not need to be refrigerated. Bottle says to "keep it in a cool, dry place"

It's best to keep refrigerated to maintain its potency and efficacy. But I called the company and it can be shipped unrefrigerated for a short time but not during hot weather. Hope that helps.

It doesn't have to be, but the bottle says "For best results, refrigerate after opening". I don't refrigerate mine :)

I keep about eight containers in my storage room which is about 70 degrees all year around, I don't think you need to refrigerate the product even after it has been opened. I keep the opened container in my kitchen cabinet.

Yes, this product needs to be refrigerated. Says so right on the bottle " Keep Refrigerated". If you purchase this product on Amazon and the listing says "Fulfilled by Amazon" it has not been refrigerated. It was kept in and shipped from Amazon's warehouse. The response from Green Pharmacy is incorrect as are the instructions on the Empirical Labs website that say "refrigerate after opening" according to Dave at Emperical labs. According to Dave, he has asked his web people to change the wording on the web site and that takes time but he has put the necessary paper work in to have it changed.

The manufacturer, Nature's Plus, states that it only needs to be kept in a cool, dry location. It is not necessary for it to be refrigerated.

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.

Hello, Thank you for contacting Swanson Health Products! We are happy to help! Probiotics are not shipped 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. Please also be assured that this product is stored at our Swanson facility in a temperature-controlled environment 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, Jessi V.

Hello! In order to maintain the potency of this product, we do require refrigeration once the item is received. However, we do not ship any products in cooled packaging. We have found that the delivery time is not long enough to damage the quality or potency. We hope this information is helpful. Take care. Swanson Health Products

That I can not tell you for sure. It depends on the date on the bottle. However, I have found that once it is open,it should be refrigerated
