Is TruFlora an appropriate probiotic to take when traveling and how long can it be stored without refrigeration?
Yes, TruFlora is a great probiotic to take when traveling. By inhabiting the intestinal contents, TruFloras probiotic strains can impede the growth of many types of undesirable bacteria that are present in contaminated food or water at the time they are ingested. Typically, travelers diarrhea is usually caused by regional E. coli strains to which locals are immune to but that cause diarrhea in visitors. Studies performed in Petri dishes confirm that TruFloras probiotic strains impede many E. coli strains as well as an extensive variety of other undesirable bacteria and yeast. Additionally, TruFlora contains probiotic strains that are quite stable at room temperatures (65-75 F) and can be stored at these temperatures for up to 4 months.
