Michael (verified owner) –
Arrived double bubble wrapped with one small Nordic Ice pack inside the inner wrapping that was room temp when I got it. I understand that the description states:
“Please note that even with express shipping, we cannot guarantee that Mutaflor will arrive cool. However, no harm is done to the product if left at room temperature for about 5 days. After prolonged exposure to heat, the product will lose some of its potency, but will not be harmful in any way. Typically probiotics lose about 10% of their potency per month at room temperature.”

The boxes I got expire approximately 7 months from when I got them (assuming the date format is German), not sure if that’s a problem for anyone buying in bulk, but I’d imagine most people aren’t buying for that far out.

Alex –
I found out about this product and bought 2 boxes and took as directed. I was hoping for relief for Ulcerative Colitis although I’m not getting complete results similar to those who have posted success with this product. It says 8 weeks but then I see people on it for over a year, so I will consider buying more and staying on a longer course. I did feel a little improvement and I think the strain /science and the historical use is excellent so maybe a longer dose for me. Its definitely worth trying at least 2-3 boxes is my suggestion because you take 6 per day at the beginning. Feel Good was excellent with shipping and freezer pack and I’m glad they offer this – seems to be THE only place to find this product!
