Heat Exposure & Product Quality

We understand that some products, like vitamins and supplements, can be sensitive to high temperatures. This article explains what to do if you believe your item was damaged by heat during shipping.

Understanding Heat Sensitivity

Some products are sensitive to environmental conditions because their active ingredients can be affected by extreme exposure to heat, light, or humidity.

  • Affected Products: This most often applies to items like vitamins, probiotics, and other nutritional supplements.
  • What Happens: When exposed to excessive heat, these products can begin to degrade. This means they can lose their effectiveness and potency, providing lower levels of the intended vitamins or nutrients.
  • Temperature Threshold: This degradation process can begin when products are exposed to temperatures above 120℉ (48.88℃). While we take precautions, extreme weather during transit can sometimes impact an order.
