Refrigerated Probiotics for Stability

Do Probiotics need to be Refrigerated?

Probiotics are live bacteria cells that can – and do – die off naturally over time, especially in warm or humid conditions.

Refrigeration, however, can reduce cell death for maximum, sustained probiotic potency.

That’s why Florajen Probiotics maintains a Cold Chain Commitment™.
From the time our probiotics are manufactured, until the time they are placed in your hands, our probiotics are refrigerated for freshness, ensuring that the billions of live cells we put in each capsule are still there, alive, and ready to get to work.

Many off-the-shelf, unrefrigerated probiotics fall far short in providing the number of live cells experts say are necessary to help the natural “good” bacteria in your body do their jobs. Florajen is a non-prescription probiotic brand that maintains continuous refrigeration. But, it’s still easy to find – just ask your pharmacist or shop now.

Refrigerate After Purchase

Refrigeration is recommended whenever possible to maintain full potency of Florajen products.

But, because each Florajen capsule is generously loaded with billions of cultures, Florajen Probiotics can be stored at room temperature for up to two weeks and still maintain effectiveness.
