Why is Visbiome shipped cold?Updated a year ago

Many of the leading products on the market claim to be “shelf stable.” However, the secret many probiotic companies don’t like to discuss is that most probiotic bacteria will die if exposed to excessive heat during transit.  In-transit temperature spikes are common with carriers like UPS, FedEx, and the US Post Office (varying greatly depending on the time of year and geography). The risk in taking probiotics shipped without in-transit temperature control is that you will have no idea how the heat may have impacted the viability of the bacteria during the shipping process. A given probiotic sitting on the shelf at a retail store may be stable in a climate-controlled store but without temperature control during shipping the product could be compromised and devoid of any therapeutic benefit.

For this reason, Visbiome is shipped and stored cold with coolers and temperature sensors to ensure you receive your probiotics within the proper conditions to maintain the full product viability.
