Probiotics and Refrigeration: Why do some probiotics require refrigeration and others do not?

...and Will My Order for Probiotics Survive Shipping?

This is an important question and the answer has to do with the stability of the probiotic. Probiotic Miracle™ and MiracleZyme Plus Probiotics™ do NOT require refrigeration. This is possible because the strains of bacteria contained in our products are stabilized and are made using a unique and proprietary manufacturing process.

If a probiotic needs to be refrigerated, that is a red flag that the strains may not be stabilized. Be sure to check with the manufacturer of the probiotics. Also, be sure that the probiotics you purchase are guaranteed at the time to expiration, not just at the time of manufacture.

Unstable probiotics need to be kept refrigerated because they start to die around 60 degrees. When the unstable probiotic comes in contact with the body, it will die because the body is well over a tolerable temperature for the unstable probiotics to live. That means that the probiotics do not survive passed the stomach acid and bile and are unable to make it to the intestines. The intestines is where probiotics need to travel in order to do their job.

Probiotics need to be able to pass through the stomach acid and bile to enable them to implant in the intestine where they multiply and benefit the user.

Stable probiotics are the right probiotics. A stable probiotic is a higher quality supplement. A stable probiotic should be fully effective even after shipping and when stored on your shelf. A stable probiotic should survive the stomach acid and bile to implant the intestines.

Our probiotics are clinically tested and guaranteed to survive shipping, and survive digestion and go to work on the intestine—crowding out bad bacteria and multiplying healthy flora hundred fold.
