Yes, you can take Smidge® Probiotics (Sensitive Probiotic powder and capsules, Infant Probiotic) with you as you travel. We do have some recommendations for keeping it potent and viable while you are away.
- try to keep it cold anytime possible- However, because the organisms are freeze-dried they can withstand a few weeks unrefrigerated.
- use a different container to put your travel doses in, this way if it gets wet or ruined you have not compromised the entire bottle- make sure it is clean and dry before adding the probiotic
- If adding your probiotic to a cooler we suggest putting it in a ziplock baggie or Tupperware container that is water-tight so it does not get wet as the ice melts in the cooler.
Remember that moisture getting into the bottle will pose the biggest threat to the viability of the bacteria, since moisture activates organisms and renders them inactive.
