Heat Sensitive Shipping Policy
Designs for Health has certain items that are sensitive to higher temperatures/higher humidity levels and may require shipping in a cool environment depending on your location and time of year. For example, we recommend probiotics ship year-round in a cool environment. All PaleoBars™ and softgels should ship cold from May 1st through September. We recognize that in most cases you can logically make that decision on your own, but recommend that if the temperature is above 75 degrees, regardless of US location, you may ask to ship these items in a cool environment with cooler bag and cold paks. These items are subject to special shipping procedures due to their sensitive nature. We have these procedures to ensure our customers continue to receive products in good condition. Designs for Health recommends that Heat Sensitive Products ship out in a cooler bag and be received by customers within 48 hours of order fulfillment. Any products damaged in transit may be returned provided Designs for Health is notified within 24 hours of the time and date that the customer received their order.
Heat Sensitive products ordered after 5:00 PM EST Thursday or before 5:00 PM EST on Friday will be shipped out Monday. Customers may elect to have their order ship in its entirety on Monday or choose to split their order and have only their heat sensitive products ship on Monday. If the customer elects to split their order Designs for Health’s regular shipping policies will apply with the exception that the value of the combined orders will determine the shipping charge on the "regular" order.
If a customer chooses not to have Heat Sensitive Products shipped in a cooler bag the customer must take responsibility for these items and agree that we will not accept a return of the heat sensitive item(s) and a "Refused Cooler Bag" note will be entered on the order.
For any questions regarding our Heat Sensitive Policy, please contact Customer Service at 1.800.847.8302.

Our reformulated Probiotic Synergy™ uses the most advanced patented delivery and shelf stability technology available to ensure maximum potency and viability. This is achieved using the latest techniques designed to protect fragile probiotic organisms from harsh stomach acid and deliver the highest number of live organisms to the intestinal tract.
With probiotics, it’s all about survival. Probiotic organisms must survive three critical barriers to be of benefit to the consumer - the manufacturing process, time on the shelf, and most importantly, survive transit through the acidic environment of the stomach. Our new Probiotic Synergy™ is formulated to handle all of the above, presented in moisture-resistant BIO-tract Probiospheres® that enhance stability and the ultimate delivery of probiotic organisms to the intestinal tract.
Regular consumption of probiotics may improve immune response and mucin production, as well as alleviate symptoms associated with diarrhea, constipation, dysbiosis, bacterial infections, and yeast overgrowth. Probiotics should also be considered during or after use of antibiotics.
This translates to better results - through increased levels of protected bacteria optimally released throughout the entire digestive tract.
