Probiotic Drinks

Yes. Bio-K+ probiotic drinks are made with live, fermented bacteria and must be kept refrigerated at all times to maintain their bacterial count, which is guaranteed until the best-before date. They can remain out of the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; however, the bacterial count guarantee no longer applies after this period, and the texture and taste may change. Once opened, store in the fridge with the bottle properly closed and consume within 7 days.

Refrigerated probiotics, like Bio-K+ probiotic drinks, contain live fermented cultures that remain active in continuous cold storage, with their bacterial count guaranteed until the best before date when refrigerated as directed. Shelf-stable probiotics are typically freeze-dried and can be stored due to some technologies, but some sensitive strains may lose viability without cold storage. The most important factors when choosing any probiotic are whether the CFU count is guaranteed until expiry date, not just at time of the probiotics survival in the stomach, and whether the specific strains are supported by research.

A natural probiotic drink is a fermented beverage made with natural dairy or plant-based ingredients that delivers live and active probiotic bacteria. Bio-K+ natural probiotic drinks are produced through active fermentation, with the bacteria grown directly in a natural dairy or plant-based protein base, creating a live, active, and nutrient-rich fermented drink. Each bottle contains 50 billion live and active bacteria guaranteed until the best before date, contributing to intestinal flora health.
