Will it go bad if you do not refrigerate? I would like to take with me when traveling. Will it lose benefits? Thanks

They have an excellent website that will answer all your questions. But as I understand it...it will not go bad if left unrefrigerated BUT it is best if you freeze the unused portion...leaving it out will not make it go bad...refrigeration is good of course...freezing it is best/ I take the powder to work with me...it is unrefrigerated for 12 plus hours and it is fine.

Don't need to refrigerate. Just be sure to check the "Use by.." date as it will go bad at some time down the road. The one drawback to this product is the shorter shelf life.

I don't think that means it has to be refrigerated. I just think it means that it is safe to consume. I don't remember seeing a refrigerate after opening label on the bottle when i got it. Hope that helps.

Formerly this product had a warning on the package that it is to be refrigerated. However. it looks like that warning has been taken off of the label with the same ingredients! A phone call to the manufacturer yielded a message that it wold be good to refrigerate. A competitor to Amazon ships this product in a cold pack even when the product is going a short distance (a hundred miles or so).

I don't think it causes any problems. I've been using it from Amazon for over 2 yrs. I refrigerate it once I receive it, but I don't know where it's been before that. I feel it would be the same case with the health food stores. They may refrigerate it, but who knows what goes on before it gets to them. This is from Barlean's site - "Either high heat (over 300 degrees F) or sustained heat over a very long period of time can degrade Omega-3 oils. The relatively short transit times and variable seasonal temperatures encountered during transit have been found to be insignificant when tested extensively. Even shipments arriving in summer heat waves can be assured as being potent and undamaged." I don't think it causes any problems. I've been using it from Amazon for over 2 yrs.

It does not have to be refrigerated after you open a bottle. I'm not sure about the expiration date because we use it in our coffee everyday so we go through all 3 bottles in a month and now have it on auto ship!! Yes, we are addicted, good thing it's 0 calories!!

If u want the best results, u will refrigerate. These r live cultures and the result is amazing. If your traveling for a short time, it,s ok, but as soon as u reach destination refrigerate. I take mine every day after breakfast, then I dont have to worry. There is a expiration date on every box. I just purchased again, so mine is 4/2016. If I purchase locally, they refrigerate, if I order from Amazon, they do not so I refrigerate immediately upon receipt.

It doesn't require refrigeration. I store it in my cupboard. I purchased it in November 2013. The expiration is July 2015. It is well and beautifully packaged. I have no complaints about this product.

The answer by Corgi below gives the contents in the Aloe "so that refrigeration is not required". In hot weather it may feel good to apply cold, so I think it can be refrigerated. But not required. Helpful to me because left out I tend to use it more often.

I got a box in early December, around the first week. The box is stamped March 2, 2015. I think that you get 3 months to consume the product. It does say that no refrigeration is needed. I have bought this product for a number of years without any problem. I hope that this helps.

According to the material I read, yes it does need refrigeration. However it also said it can go without refrigeration for up to 2 weeks if you are traveling. So I keep it in the refrigerator. When I travel I take out what I need for the trip & leave the rest at home.

It does not need refrigeration after receiving and using. I believe some of the manufacturers suggest putting it in a refrigerator. I do both ways. Effectiveness is the same to me.

The bottle suggests refrigeration once open but I store mine on a cool dry location and it works just fine. I know living in hotter and more humid climates more goods can be maintained through refrigeration... I guess you'll have to call the manufacturer. Sorry I'm not much help.

I never refrigerate mine and neither does my sister. I keep it on the counter so I remember to take it with my meals. It works great.

No this requires no refrigeration. I have been taking for 2 months with healthy results.
