Cooled delivery

Some products are sensitive to high temperatures so it makes sense to store and also transported them refrigerated. These include at least:

• Probiotics and
• Omega 3 or fish oils

We offer you partially cooled product delivery to your home. We will add frozen ice-pack gel to the product and wrap it in a thick, thermo-insulating foil. In this way, they will remain cold up to 24 hours, and even later protected from extreme ambient temperatures.

Make sure your supplements are maximum effective and healthy.

Why should omega 3 oil be refrigerated?

Omega 3 or fish oils contain poly-unsaturated fatty acids (those that are actually healthy), which also exposes them to a risk of rancidity.

Poli unsaturated fatty acids have several single bonds that are easily oxidized as they are much less stable than double bonding. Exposure to oxygen, high temperature and UV radiation can destroy (oxidize) such fatty acids while Omega 3 loses its healthy properties.

In the case of fish oils, make sure that you always buy “out of the fridge” and, if possible, check how it was previously stored and transported. Make sure the oil is in the dark bottles, which reduces the risk of UV radiation.

After using immediately close the bottle and put it back in the refrigerator.

Capsules are a bit more resistant to external influences because they do not come in contact with oxygen but it is nevertheless reasonable to store them in the refrigerator.

Why should probiotics be chilled?

Probiotics are living organisms (bacteria) that are effective only until they die. High temperature and strong changes in the pH of the environment and sunlight can destroy them. Dead bacteria will not help you in any way.

Therefore, the “power” of probiotics is also measured in the number of living organisms it contains. Low temperature and absence of light will prolong the lifespan of probiotics and their effectiveness.

When buying probiotics pay attention to what kind of packaging they come and if possible check how they were stored. Good probiotics have the quantity of organisms indicated at the best before date. If you see probiotics that have a quantity indicated at the time of production do not buy them as you can never know how many live bacteria is actually in them.

Shelf stable probiotics indicate products that can be kept at room temperature. These are probiotics that more easily tolerate high temperatures but you should still be storing them refrigerated to maintain stronger efficiency and prolong their lifespan.

Of course a day or two at normal room temperature will not destroy neither fish oil nor probiotics.
