Question 1

how can you request item be sent with ice pack?

Accepted Answer

No refrigeration needed. 
To quote the company representative: “both technologies [enteric coating and delayed release] delay the release of probiotic bacteria until they reach the intestines to prevent stomach acid from killing them. The enteric-coated capsules require refrigeration, whereas the delayed-release technology bottled capsules do not.”

These are the latter, and do not require refrigeration.

Question 2

How is it stored before shipment?

Accepted Answer

If your question stems from wondering whether storage conditions affect efficacy, I can share what the company emailed me. TL;DR: the technology appears to protect quality despite temperature, at least that’s my interpretation.
From the company’s email response to me:
“The enteric-coated capsules [not what is available on Amazon] require refrigeration, whereas the delayed-release technology bottled capsules do not. They are both as effective. In both cases, the probiotic bacteria are released from the capsule in the intestines, thus conferring their benefits.

The main difference is the active ingredient that makes up these two technologies. DR-caps technology (used in the Daily Care capsules) uses a plant-based polymer to protect the probiotic bacteria, whereas the enteric coating (used in the refrigerated capsules) uses several ingredients, the main one being sodium alginate (seaweed extract), an algae-based polysaccharide.”

I hope this helps.
