Smidge® probiotics are freeze-dried, which means the live bacteria are in a state of “suspended animation.” This makes them stable at room temperature for up to two weeks, even during shipping, without compromising quality or potency.
Why Refrigeration Still Matters
Once your Smidge® probiotics arrive, it's best to pop them into the fridge. Refrigeration keeps them at their peak potency and helps prevent any unwanted moisture from creeping in. It’s not about keeping them “cold” like live-culture yogurt, but about extending shelf life and ensuring consistent, long-term stability.
How We Ship
We ship Smidge® probiotics Monday through Wednesday (for orders placed by 12 PM EST) via 2-day delivery to minimize transit time. This ensures your probiotics arrive in optimal condition. (We also offer overnight shipping for orders placed Monday through Thursday by 12 PM EST.)
Always keep the cap tightly closed and the moisture pack inside the bottle. And be sure to use a clean, dry Smidge® spoon for powdered probiotics.
