Sorry we do not ship with any ice packs. They do not need any refrigeration for short time during shipping. When opened for use or when kept in inventory they should be kept under refrigeration. Thank you House of Nutrition

They don't need to be refrigerated, they live at room temp best, the fridge slows them down and puts them into a static zone. Bag it up with lots of ziplock packaging, put it in your checked baggage, may look weird and be hard to describe to security...haha.

I know they are kept refrigerated in health food stores and some vendors ship them in a cool wrap. I honestly don't know about mass shipments via commercial trucks. I have purchased mine without the chill pack and refrigerate them after I get the shipment. I suspect they would be more potent if always kept refrigerated but I still have been very happy with the product and it seems to work for me.

ive had them shipped in colder weather....they will put in a heat pack and these are overnighted I believe... if your going to be home to receive it from the carrier id say they should be fine ..but I wouldn't leave them out in a mail box all day till you get home from work..

They do not need to be refrigerated unless you open an individual pouch and don't use the entire thing. They are great and super convenient and my boys love them!

Dear H, We send them with an ice pack. We expect that the ice pack will melt, it does keep the item from experiencing temperature extremes. We ship priority and do not ship on Fridays. Lisa C Nutritional Institute

They come in a foilpack which protects from light and moisture, it is zip lock. I am not certain they need refrigeration, most dried foodstuffs do not, but I would not let them get too hot.

I presume it is refrigerated prior to shipping as it is recommended to refrigerate upon receiving to keep it fresh. Each bottle came packaged in small bubble pop envelopes but not in cold packs. I don't think it is critical for short term but over longer periods. I ordered about a half dozen of them at once and refrigerated what wasn't being used.

This was not delivered refrigerated but I do keep it/them refrigerated once I've open the seal to the bottle...

In all the times that I have purchased them, they have always been a pale yellow color. If they are brown, I would check the date on the package and contact the seller. They should be refrigerated after purchase.

Hello, Thank you for contacting Swanson Health Products! We are happy to help! We do not ship products refrigerated. However, please be assured that when a manufacturer formulates a product, they are aware that the product will not be able to be refrigerated 100% of the time.

We ship the products to our customers, exactly how we receive them. Please also be assured that this product is stored at our Swanson facility under refrigeration 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!

My son loves them so much that he budgeted them in the fridge for over a month and they were still awesome. They keep really well as long as you refrigerate. We put them in a zip-lock bag and refrigerated. Good luck!

It does recommend that they either be refrigerated or I believe kept at 70 degrees or below. I don't have a bottle with me while I am writing this.

We don't refrigerate ours. They are on a high shelf in our pantry, dark and cool. Not that it matters.

I ordered mine last year, they were fine when they arrived. Undamaged. I don't remember how they were packaged but they were fine when they arrived.

As long as they are sealed they do not have to be refrigerated. Once you open the bottle, and break the seal then put the bottle in the refrigerator.
