Hello Kristina, No, we do not ship with cold packs. However, the manufacturers are aware that products are not going to be refrigerated 100% of the time, especially with companies having to ship the products, and the bacteria exceed the label claims at the time of manufacture to ensure that the bacterial are still viable and as quoted on the label up until their expiration date. We hope this information is helpful!Best in Health, Jessi V.

Our local hospital analysed a selection of probiotics selected from local stores. Amazingly 2 of them had absolutely no living probiotics in them and ALL of the rest of them had extremely small %'s of probiotics: instead of 16Billion, only 70 million! None of the companies had anywhere ne4ar the advertised potency.

Hello, Thank you for contacting Swanson Health Products! We are happy to help! Probiotics are not shipped refrigerated. However, please be assured that when a manufacturer formulates a probiotic, they are aware that the product will not be able to be refrigerated 100% of the time. The manufacturer knows that products will not be shipped refrigerated, therefore there is a very decent amount of time allowed so that a product can be shipped and still exceed its potency. Please also be assured that this product is stored at our Swanson facility in a temperature-controlled environment at all times. As long as your product is sealed and not in direct sunlight, its potency and integrity will not be compromised. We hope this information is helpful! If there is anything we can do to further assist you, please let us know. Our quality, value and customer service have made Swanson Health Products a trusted source of nutritional supplements since 1969. To help us build this privileged relationship with you, we welcome your comments and suggestions, as it is our pleasure to serve you at any time. Sincerely, Jessi V.

Unfortunately, Swanson Health Products does not ship any product with a cold pack. We have found that the delivery time is not long enough to damage the quality or potency of Probiotics. -Swanson Health Products

they absolutely do not pack w/ice. not only that, but i had a quality assurance issue. my bottle contained an empty capsule & a crimped half of another capsule. the company said it was no big deal. i paid for the quantity on the container but received less. i'm dissatisfied w/this company. i have switched to garden of life RAW probiotics. they contain much higher amounts of bacteria but they are also NOT shipped on ice. good luck.

No! Mine was packed with a tiny "cold pack" the was inadequate to maintain the proper temperature.

It is out in a box without anything to keep it cool or insulate it. Do not purchase this from here. You'll get dead probiotics.

The probiotics need to be in the refrigerator, and so are typically sent with a cold pack, but digestive enzymes aren't usually as sensitive to heat. In my experience, they should be fine while being shipped to you. Hope this helps!

In most cases, the cold packs will not stay frozen or remain cold during the full time in transit. Even if the cold packs are completely thawed and the product is no longer cold, the probiotics have excellent stability during the short time that they are exposed to ambient temperatures. The cold packs do their job of keeping the probiotics cool during the majority of the time in shipment. Thus, the chance of prolonged exposure to high temperatures that might affect potency is avoided. THDV Staff

Probably not. Most places don't send it in a cooler. It needs to be kept cool. If the shipper is Kirkman, they will send with ice pack but add quite a bit to the cost for this. Even so, many times the ice pack is no longer cool when received, especially during hot weather.

I just received my probiotics from Amazon on 4/13/15. I live in Florida. There was NO ice pack in the shipping.

Not that I've noticed, but these probiotics should be refrigerated immediately upon being received!

Yes. But care should be taken to order in cooler months. Mine had a cold pack and styrofoam peanuts.

No, this is the purest & best one I found/trust for my girls. If the ingredients aren't listed on amazon, check it out on vitacost.com. They list ingredients & honestly if order it from vitacost over amazon. Amazon doesn't cold pack it, vitacost does. Probiotics need to stay cold or they loose thier potency & live cultures. It's same price & free shipping if you order $49 worth of stuff, so bulk up if need & buy 2-3 at a time;) good luck

Mine didn't arrive in cold packs. I doubt this has changed unless it states so expressly in the description.

Jessica, We ship this item with a free cold pack, I am not sure about Amazon or other sellers if they do.
