So I was super forgetful tonight and left my probiotics out for about 4  hours in the kitchen , room temp . They are still white but have yellow specks here and there . I know they're not bad for me to take, but I'm paranoid they may not be potent anymore. 

How long does it take for these suckers to go bad? I am hoping they're fine, I just bought the bottle !!

Hi Pixie,
Don't worry they're fine I did the same thing but for 8 hours!  I asked Dr. B. and I called Natren and they both said that they were still OK.

Phew, awesome, thanks !!
Those bottles are pricey and I need that good flora ! :)
For anyone that searches this in the future, I also found that bottles can survive about two days unrefrigerated as long as the room temp is below around 75 degrees ...I always keep mine in the fridge though unless I'm forgetful like last night ,*shakes head *
Color is key, white =good
Tan= not potent anymore
