Why does my Bio-Kult have dark specks? The live bacteria are naturally speckled in color, and this may be seen in a Bio-Kult capsule. If darker specks cannot be seen, it does not mean there is no probiotic bacteria in your capsule it just means there is not a gathering of bacteria in one area of the capsule. Dont probiotics need to be kept in the fridge? As with all Bio-Kult products, there is no need to refrigerate and they can be stored at room temperature. This is in thanks to our unique freeze-drying process. Wont the stomach acid kill all the bacteria off before they can start working?
