Do I need to refrigerate DS-01®?Updated 3 months ago

The short answer is no. No refrigeration necessary.

It’s a question we receive often, since many probiotics are sold in the refrigerated section at grocery stores and retailers. However, contrary to perishable food products, refrigeration doesn’t mean "freshness" or superiority. In fact, if a probiotic does not survive at ambient temperature outside of the refrigerator, it can reflect weak stability of the product, low viable organism count, or inadequate overages in formulation.

If your home is consistently warmer than 79° F for extended periods, consider refrigerating in an oxygen tight container to avoid exposure to moisture.
