Even if the cold packs are completely thawed and the product is no longer cold, the probiotics have excellent stability during the short time they are exposed to ambient temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold packs in polyfoam eskies, wool-lined insulation or foil bags do their job of keeping the probiotics cool during shipping. Thus, the chance of prolonged exposure to high temperatures that might affect potency is minimised\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill my 'cold' probiotics still be 'alive' after shipping?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen refrigerated probiotics reach room temperature or above, there will be up to a 2% loss of colony forming units (CFU) for each 24-hour period the probiotic is above 25°C but below 37°C. Deterioration occurs mostly above 25°C, so 'cold' probiotics can travel for approximately a maximum of 14 days below 37°C before viability is affected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh temperatures can kill probiotics, and exposure to temperatures above 46°C can increase the rate of loss rapidly. We try not to ship on days above 35°C however the temperature at the destination may be very different from our Sydney pick-n' pack centre so we do ship with an ice brick\/gel pack in a woolpack insulated container to protect the probiotics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo ensure probiotic viability, we add ample additional bacteria overage into the formula to account for loss during transportation, so that our probiotics meet our colony-forming unit claim on the label up to the expiration date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the best storage temperature?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ideal storage temperature for probiotics is 8°C or below (do not freeze).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHave Spectrumceuticals refrigerated probiotics been tested for potency?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll Spectrumceuticals probiotics are tested upon receiving raw ingredients and on completion of blending to verify full potency. They are then kept under refrigeration\u003cbr\u003ein our warehouse until ready for shipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach probiotic formula undergoes a full stability program via a third-party laboratory every two years or every second to third production batch.

A few capsules of probiotics can be removed from the refrigerated bottle and put into a smaller air-tight container like a Webster pack if travelling. Alternatively, if travelling for extended periods, try Spectrumceuticals ProBioFlora fridge free microencapsulated probiotics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are some household tips for handling and storing cold ‘live’ probiotics?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProbiotic products contain live cultures of friendly bacteria and require appropriate\u003cbr\u003ehandling to maintain their maximum activity during storage.

Thus, refrigeration is recommended during storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpectrumceuticals probiotic formulations are relatively stable at normal room temperatures for short periods when handled according to the following conditions:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRefrigerate probiotics upon receipt.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore probiotic bottles in the refrigerator and keep the cap tightly closed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvoid handling capsules and putting them back in the bottle.

Deterioration occurs mostly above 25°C, so 'cold' probiotics can travel for approximately a maximum of 14 days below 37°C before viability is affected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh temperatures can kill probiotics, and exposure to temperatures above 46°C can increase the rate of loss rapidly. We try not to ship on days above 35°C however the temperature at the destination may be very different from our Sydney pick-n' pack centre so we do ship with an ice brick\/gel pack in a woolpack insulated container to protect the probiotics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo ensure probiotic viability, we add ample additional bacteria overage into the formula to account for loss during transportation, so that our probiotics meet our colony-forming unit claim on the label up to the expiration date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the best storage temperature?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ideal storage temperature for probiotics is 8°C or below (do not freeze).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHave Spectrumceuticals refrigerated probiotics been tested for potency?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll Spectrumceuticals probiotics are tested upon receiving raw ingredients and on completion of blending to verify full potency.

A few capsules of probiotics can be removed from the refrigerated bottle and put into a smaller air-tight container like a Webster pack if travelling. Alternatively, if travelling for extended periods, try Spectrumceuticals ProBioFlora fridge free microencapsulated probiotics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are some household tips for handling and storing cold ‘live’ probiotics?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProbiotic products contain live cultures of friendly bacteria and require appropriate\u003cbr\u003ehandling to maintain their maximum activity during storage.
