Question 1

What is the differnce between 50 and 100 billio?.  What do these  numbers really mean?

Accepted Answer

Stress, dietary indiscretions, really anything that causes inflammation kills good gut bacteria. it also has a life cycle in your gut and as it proliferates it also sloughs the old.So you need a high number of bacteria. Heavy duty probiotics  such as 'vsl' brand have an insanely high number of bacteria. twice the amount than in colon care.That one is for use by people with ulcerative colitis and severe IBD.So yes these numbers are very meaningful.but also the types of bacteria chosen for colon care are synergistic or symbiotic. Many people have a good base of good bacteria residing and some people can't seem to develop a good thriving base  of gut flora and have to replenish constantly. I am that person. I wasnt nursed as a child and was delivered cesarian. So my gut flors  was nil. I appreciated the kind of bacteria present in this product and the high number of them.

Question 2

If we requested, can an ice pack to be shipped with our purchace, could you fufill that request?

Accepted Answer

How are they guaranteeing that this product is being shipped at 71° or lower in spring thru early fall months if they're not shipping with dry ice nor in a refrigerated truck???? Truck trailers easily reach over 100° as well as the docks and warehouses that packages are stored in during the transit process! VITACOST DOES SHIP THIS PRODUCT TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED with dry ice or cold pack, read the 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ reviews for this product on their website! Furthermore, they're offering 20% discount on it with following code "SAVEONVITS" or 15% off if you sign up for text msgs alerts.... Don't get me wrong, I am a.m. Amazon prime member and have been for many years but when it comes to these type of products that need to be shipped with climate/temperature control environment then I recommend doing your homework and asking the sellers questions as many people did for this product.... It's senseless to take this product if it wasn't temperature controlled during shipment process as the extreme heat will kill off the good bacteria, the main reason for taking this product!

Question 3

Why isn't this product stored and shipped properly???

Accepted Answer

EXACTLY, MY QUESTION AS WELL. Buyers beware, read the following info provided by this seller: Product Description: "What we promise on the label is what you get – 50 billion live probiotic cultures in a convenient once-daily capsule. Temperature-controlled cold storage and delivery ensure that your probiotics Arrive Alive! " and also says in Features And Details sections: "ARRIVE ALIVE GUARANTEE: Controlled temperatures from manufacturing to delivery ensure that your probiotics Arrive Alive and Stay Alive through expiration. Best if refrigerated." How are they going to say "Temperature-controlled cold storage AND delivery" if they're not shipping with dry ice or not delivering in refrigerated truck for the entire shipping period???

Question 4
