Because the probiotics are live strands and therefore need to be in the refrigerator.

It can be refrigerated.. why not?? However, I don't find it important to do so and it is right in front of me in my bedroom so I don't miss it.

It's for product freshness. It is not required to be refrigerated. Were suppose to prove it goes bad and tests cannot prove it goes bad. However where starting to place expiration dates for the UK to help reduce confusion.

Actually, the manufacturer does NOT specifically recommend this. And frankly, THEY do not even ship it refrigerated when they ship it to the stores. That is a fact. It is "suggested", but their products say to "Store in a dry place at 73F (23C) or below. Best if refrigerated". Best, for NOT required. And keeping it refrigerated and then taking it back out would cause it to sweat and possible cause degradation of the capsules. So, you SHOULD store it in the refrigerator AFTER you get it home and keep it there. They have done stability studies and so long as you don't keep it on the car dashboard, you are fine.

I have used this product for over a year. It really helps. As for refrigeration, never have done that and just checked the bottle and there is no call for refrigeration.

I went on their website to ask this very same thing and found that this particular one does not require refrigeration. I always keep my supplements in the fridge anyways so that's where it went.

I do refrigerate mine, just because it says to!! However my mom does not, and hers is just fine!

Hi Teresa, You do not need to keep this refrigerated. We just recommend that you store it in a cool, dry place and away from heat. Thank you. Best, AJ

As it is a fridge, its either turn up the temperature or unplug it.I think it defeats the purpose of a fridge then......

Good question. I'm not sure if it has to be refrigerated, but I never did. I just kept it in a cool place out of sunlight and away from areas of increased heat. Maybe contacting the company would provide you with a more specific answer.

Hi MatthewThat is confusing about refrigeration. It should be kept in refrigeration while in inventory and especially after opening should be kept in refrigerator at all times. The short time during shipping and not be under refrigeration does not harm the product. There have been many tests on this subject by many companies and especially Renew Life well documented. I have been shipping these products for 20 years and we have never shipped with any type of refrigeration and there have not been any problems with products.Bobby House of Nutrition

If your home's temp goes above 90 degrees you might want to refrigerate it. Otherwise it'll just get soft when its warm

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 know there are products that maintain the temperature at a safe level, such as small filled pouches with dry ice. I think this is how most shippers will use when sending their products.
