why do they have to be refrigerated?

The cold temperature retards the aging and oxidation processes, thus making the seeds viable for a longer period of time.

Because their shelf life will last longer which is 30 years as oppose to the fridgewhich is 15 years.

They do not require refrigeration, it says so right on the label. I keep mine in a gallon sized ziploc.

You are supposed to keep them in the refrigerator to maximize their shelf life.

I keep mine refrigerated and have had no problem keeping them for several months.

They have to be chilled from the manufacturer as well. Chilled at the door means nothing if they have been stored in 90 degree heat for a month in a warehouse. Got to a local distributor.

I refrigerate mine when it's very hot so that I can better cool off but when the temperature outside is less than 70 degrees, I keep them on my counter.

Yes, you should keep them refrigerated once you get them as clearly stated in the instructions in the package. I guess it's OK not refrigerating them for a short period of time. I have bought Kefir starter from a different manufacturer in Japan and they were sold unrefrigerated at a supermarket.

Technically no, it does not need to be refrigerated, BUT if you refrigerate any probiotic it will last longer, and be more potent, when you take them.

No, these probiotics do not require refrigeration, but they were recommended to me by my doctor and they are even more potent and effective than some probiotics that I've taken in the past that do require refrigeration. These are well worth the money in my opinion. When it's in my budget these are by far my top choice!

They are freeze dried so refrigeration is not required. I ordered mine at Christmas last year and they are still fine.

They have a very long shelf life, even after they have been opened. My bottle has an expiry date of 04.2015 and I purchased them back in 2013.I don't even know if they need to be refrigerated.

I don't know, I always keep my refrigerated, I first purchase at a vitamin store & the store recommend that it be kept in the refrigerated, so I keep doing it.

I would say it depends on what your plans are. If it's going to be hot, I'd freeze them, if it's not, refrigerating them would be sufficient.

We store at room temperature. Depends on how often you use them. We use 1/day and they are always fresh due to the packaging and no need to refrigerate.
