Refrigeration

Do I need to refrigerate BōKU products after I open it?

We don’t recommend it! Boku products are stable when in dry powder. Refrigerators tend to hold moisture & the inside of a refrigerator can vary wildly depending on: how often its opened & closed & where you live. Once mixed with liquid & re-hydrated, the enzymes in the food reactivate putting it back into a raw state. We recommend drinking it quickly or keeping it chilled in order to maintain maximum nutritional value. One trick we learned from our customers is load a dry shaker with the powders in the am & at some point in day add your favorite liquid & you have an amazing treat in the go!

 

We specifically choose the probiotic L. Sporogenes to include in certain Boku products because it is very stable at room temperature. It is one of the few probiotics that come in the form of spores. This means that it is totally inactive until it is taken into the body. When L. Sporogenes reaches the ideal growing environment of the small intestine, the spores activate and start to reproduce. They then form colonies and give all the benefits of these “good” bacteria.
