Doctor, Is it necessary to refrigerate probiotic supplements? I purchased a probiotic supplement which claims that refrigerator is not required for their product, But here in our region the temperature is above 50'C, I heard that probiotics can't survive in hot temperature, In this case can I refrigerate? If I get refrigerate the probiotic supplements, Due to cool temperature there may be a chance of humidity accumulating with in the capsules? If this happens the humidity can damage the capsule and its content's, Doctor really I am getting confused regarding this issue, The supplement which I purchased is really costly, please I request you to provide solution,

You need not to store in refrigerator just keep in dark cool places within the room at normal room temprature. And it is not routinely required to consume it as food supliment. You can consume curd lassi and fiber rich diet instead.
