With Activ-Vial protected packaging our probiotics are stable at room temperature of 25°, they do not need refrigeration. When 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 Activ-Vial packaged probiotics can travel for approximately a maximum of 14 days above 25°C but below 37°C before viability is effected. High temperatures can kill probiotics, and exposure to temperatures above 46°C can increase the rate of loss rapidly. To 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 expiration date. The ideal storage temperature for probiotics is below 25°C. No need for refrigeration and do not freeze.
