Storage and delivery
This is a live-culture product, so correct storage and fast delivery both matter. We keep it refrigerated at our temperature-controlled facility in Chorley, Lancashire and dispatch orders on a tracked next-day service via Royal Mail 24 or DPD, so most orders reach you quickly. Per the manufacturer's storage leaflet the capsules stay stable at room temperature up to 25°C for up to one week, so a fast tracked transit keeps them well within that window. We do not dispatch on Fridays, so your order never sits in a depot over the weekend. Refrigerate at +2°C to +8°C when it arrives. See our cold-chain delivery information.
Choosing the right format
The 112 billion capsule is the everyday format. If you want a higher count per serving or a non-capsule option, these may suit better:
- CDS22-formula 450 billion sachets (12-pack) — same eight NCIMB strains, higher count per serving, powder format
- CDS22-formula Infant Drops — for babies and young children
- All CDS22-formula products — full range

Deposit codes identify specific strains against a public register, which makes them a more reliable check than a product name or a count on the front of a box.

What is the difference between the 112 billion capsules and the 450 billion sachets?
