No matter how many probiotic foods you eat, you’ll never be able to get enough of the healthy bacteria in your gut. Most probiotic supplements, however, do require refrigeration, which can make them difficult to travel with. Fortunately, there are many effective brands that don’t need to be refrigerated-even when they have not been opened yet! Here are 5 probiotic brands that don’t need to be stored in your fridge.

1. Threelac (Our Recommendation)

This candida management probiotic was developed by Dr. Harry Miller in the 1990s and is made with three strains of beneficial probiotics – FOS (fructooligosaccharides), lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium lactis biovar.

These particular probiotics come in sachets that don’t require refrigeration. They have good shelf life and are a highly effective product that can be purchased online.

Adding a natural source of prebiotics such as FOS (fructooligosaccharides) which is also included in ThreeLac also promotes good health. Prebiotics are food sources for probiotics, thus promoting healthy gut flora. 

In addition, ThreeLac contains no artificial ingredients or preservatives and is free from dairy products and gluten. 

This makes it a safe product with minimal side effects when compared to other conventional Candida management treatments.

2. Renew Life Ultimate Flora Critical Care

If you want to travel with a probiotic that doesn’t need to be refrigerated, Renew Life’s Ultimate Flora Critical Care Capsules are an excellent choice. These vegetarian capsules contain 15 billion CFUs in a delayed-release delivery system, making them ideal for those who have trouble swallowing pills or digesting food while on the go. 

Not only do they survive your stomach acids and make it to your colon intact, but they also contain prebiotics, which helps support digestive health by encouraging good bacteria growth. 

Ultimate Flora Critical Care Capsules can be taken every day if needed; just remember that each capsule contains 500 mg of sodium. So take them with care and check to see if your body responds well! You should not use these if you’re currently taking antibiotics. 

Otherwise, these will be perfect for your next trip. (They even come in special single-serving blister packs!) And because they’re vegetarian, there’s no need to worry about getting extra animal products like gelatin when you open up a capsule-but do watch out for any unwanted additives like artificial sweeteners or coloring agents. 

A few people report that these cause nausea when taken with milk products like yogurt or cottage cheese. No one has reported any problems taking them without milk products at all though! 

Overall, we think Renew Life makes some of the best probiotics available today and we love their Ultimate Flora line specifically because it is designed specifically with travelers in mind.

3. Garden of Life Primal Defense Ultra Capsules

Garden of Life’s Primal Defense Ultra Capsules don’t need to be refrigerated. They have a super-long shelf life of 18 months and are designed to survive warm temperatures as well as high and low humidity. 

That makes them a great choice if you want to stock up on probiotics that you can take on a long trip or leave in your bag without worrying about your pills getting overheated in your purse or backpack. 

You just need to keep them away from moisture, heat, light, and air-so they aren’t ideal for traveling with. 

However, they do make an excellent option if you plan on taking probiotics every day year-round or can split them up between family members so everyone has access to their own probiotics. 

As far as taste goes, these capsules are gluten-free and vegetarian. They come in small (50 billion CFUs), medium (100 billion CFUs), and large (150 billion CFUs) sizes-but we recommend sticking with the medium size since it’s pretty difficult to swallow multiple capsules at once. 

These probiotics also contain prebiotic fiber and digestive enzymes to help support healthy digestion. 

If you find yourself struggling with gas, bloating, constipation, or diarrhea after eating certain foods, then these could be a good pick for you. 

Plus, unlike some other brands out there today, Garden of Life offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee so if you’re not happy with your purchase for any reason at all then feel free to contact customer service and request a refund within 30 days of purchase. 

We love companies that stand behind their products like that!

4. Arrow Formulas Jarro-Dophilus EPS with Bifidobacterium Infantis

Jarrow Formulas Jarrow-Dophilus EPS with Bifidobacterium Infantis is a shelf-stable probiotic that contains a blend of eight different strains of beneficial bacteria. Each capsule also contains FOS and inulin, which act as prebiotics to help nourish your beneficial bacteria. 

Unlike many other probiotics on our list, Jarrow Formulas Jarro-Dophilus EPS requires refrigeration-meaning it won’t need to be kept in your carry-on while traveling. This product is also allergy-friendly, gluten-free, non-GMO, and certified vegetarian by both NSF International and USDA Organic. 

Just remember to bring an ice pack!

5. Enzymatic Therapy Megadophilus

Although Enzymatic Therapy Megadophilus is not specifically a travel probiotic, it does have many qualities that make it a great probiotic for those looking to go on the go. 

It can be stored at room temperature, which means that even if you don’t have access to a refrigerator when traveling, it will not go bad. 

This is especially useful during hot summers or long road trips! It also contains 5 billion CFUs (colony forming units) per capsule at the time of manufacture, meaning that you won’t need to supplement with additional probiotics every few days.

Final Thoughts

When it comes to probiotics, many people tend to store them in their refrigerators. However, they don’t need to be stored there, and there are a number of benefits that can come from traveling with them or storing them at room temperature. 

While it’s always best to follow your specific brand’s recommendations regarding refrigeration, room temperature storage will do just fine most of the time. 

You can even store probiotics outside of your home in a cooler if you know you won’t have access to cold storage while traveling. No matter where you store them, keeping a daily dose of probiotics handy is an easy way to improve your health without much effort at all!
