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.

Bio-K+ dairy drinkable probiotics are made with skim milk powder and whey protein concentrate and do contain dairy. They are certified gluten-free but are not lactose-free. If you have lactose sensitivity, the fermentation process does reduce, but does not eliminate, lactose content. Those with a confirmed dairy allergy should consider the vegan drinkable probiotic line instead. If you are uncertain, consult a healthcare professional before use.

Bio-K+ dairy drinkable probiotics must be kept refrigerated at all times to maintain their bacterial count, which is guaranteed until the best before date. Once opened, keep the bottle properly closed and consume within 7 days. The product can be kept out of the fridge for up to 24 hours. After that, potency can no longer be guaranteed, and the taste will become more tart. Do not freeze.

Each 98 g bottle of Bio-K+ dairy drinkable probiotic contains 50 billion live and active bacteria from three exclusive strains. This count is guaranteed until the best-before date, provided the product is kept refrigerated. Unlike many probiotic products that declare their count at the time of manufacture, Bio-K+ guarantees bacterial potency at the time of consumption when properly refrigerated.
