In addition to other replies, also note that this capsule is not enteric coated, thus most of the organisms will be killed in your GI tract (gut).

Here is a link that NOW Foods sent me when I emailed them about their potency levels and refrigeration. Hope it helps!http://www.nowfoods.com/Quality/Quality-Notes/088797.htm

It says on the bottle it does, but I contacted the company and they said that during shipping they dont use ice packs. You need to refrigerate once opened to maintain potency of the probiotic. They said its guaranteed at least 25 billion. It dosent make since to me though, wouldnt it be logical to ship with an ice pack and then guarantee higher than 25 billion. Its almost like false advertising if they state 50 billion on the bottle, yet guarantee 25 billion, thats half lost. Just ship with an ice pack already...just my two cents.

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?

I never refrigerated it. It would say on the container if it needed to be refrigerated. I never noticed anything.

I don't think it needs refrigeration. It seems to be made of something that's like a thin marzipan.

no, I don't refrigerate at all. It's best at room temperature. I have to place in hot water for a few minutes each time I use it because of the thick consistency.

You do not have to refrigerate. I just used a kit that I bought months ago, and it is great.

No it does not need to be refrigerated. If you notice, in grocery stores, they don't refrigerate them.

Yes, once it is opened i believe it must be kept cold. It does not need refrigeration while still sealed though.

To my knowledge it does not need to be refrigerated and is not shipped cold. I do not refrigerate mine, but I also keep my house below 75 degrees.

It doesn't need to be refrigerated. Keep it like you do any other supplements - probably best in a dark cabinet.

No, it does not require refrigeration prior to opening. However, it tastes the best when consumed cold! If I'm short on space, I will only put a few in my fridge at a time. Hope this helps! :)
