Anyone know a good one to take while traveling?

I usually take theralac, but they need to be kept cold.

Thanks

Call them and ask how long it can be left out.

or go to www.theralac.com

**editing to add**

"Probiotics are living products that require refrigeration for optimum stability and shelf-life. Theralac is quite stable due to �TIP� or Totally Inert Packaging: Theralac capsules are packaged in double-sealed, amber glass bottles containing both moisture and oxygen absorption packets. They can be held at temperatures up to 75� F for up to one month (while traveling) but must be kept refrigerated beyond that to assure potency through the expiration date."

Vitacost sells probiotics that do not need refrigeration and they work really well.

The highest strength is called 15-35. It has 15 strains of healthy bacteria and 35 billion organisms per capsule.

The are around $25.00 for 100 capsules. I recently ordered a bottle and they had a deal going, buy one get the next half off...

Thing is, why would a 'good' probiotic require refrigeration?

After all, we want them to be happy and thrive inside our bodies, which are significantly warmer than the fridge.

Doesn't make sense to me.

I use kefir, and I ferment it on the counter. It ferments a lot quicker in the summer when it's warmer in the kitchen than it does in the winter.

Just don't understand this? [confused]

I think it just keeps its strength longer that way. Dunno.

AAhhhh! Slows their metabolization, so that when you take it, they're fresh and ready to reproduce. That makes sense!

Thanks. [Big Grin]

This is the best I've found so far. Been taking it for 6 wks and seeing results. (finally)

http://www.customprobiotics.com/custom-probiotics-adult-formula-cp-1.htm

"STORAGE / TEMPERATURE STABILITY Our probiotic supplements are temperature stable for 2-3 weeks without refrigeration. We have done 2 year temperature stability testing on our probiotics . We overdesign our probiotics so that the loss will not effect the potency indicated on the label.

One can travel with our probiotics for 2-3 weeks without refrigeration. It is best however to keep probiotics refrigerated for optimum potency. Below is our 2 year temperature stability study for your information."

$40 for 90 capsules of 50 billion each! [Smile]

I take Ortho Biotics by Ortho Molecular. I take 3-4 a day, depending on which round of antibiotics I am taking. I like that it has s. boulardii in it as well. Just make sure you are taking enough!

But you wouldn't want to travel with ONLY the Florastor.
