How to Keep Probiotics Alive

Freshliance BlueTag T10 Bluetooth temperature data logger and BlueTag TH20 temperature and humidity data logger could help to record and monitor environment and get rid of the risk.

Properly manufacturing, transporting and storing probiotic supplement maximizes its shelf life and provides consumer with the most health benefits. 

Probiotics are beneficial bacteria found in your gut and as supplements. They’re known for fighting inflammation and supporting your overall digestive health. Since they’re living microorganisms, they are generally sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity. Once the probiotics are manufactured, transported, and stored without the appropriate temperature controls, they’ll lose their potency and die. Therefore, during transport and storage, the temperature and moisture content of the products are major factors to be considered. 

The USP (United States Pharmacopoeia) published the revised 2017 (659) Packaging and Storage Requirements for dietary supplements as well as pharmaceuticals and others. The probiotic industry and consumers may use this information as a guideline for the storage of probiotic supplements.
