“ and not to try to keep even the shelf-stable ones above room temperature.” - hate to ask, but night brain kicked in - could I trouble you to give me an alternative way of phrasing this? I keep parsing it as “don’t even bother trying to keep probiotics warm”
No night brain, just a good splice on my part after editing that sentence down :). stavros has a great rewrite already, but an even more succinct one for just the particular snippet could be:
"even shelf-stable probiotics should not be kept above room temperature".
"room temperature" has a whole lot of variation without even thinking about the extremes of population location. :(
They gave it as a defined term with a pdf copy of https://www.goodrx.com/drugs/medication-basics/which-is-the-... describing the ranges - I just neglected to include all of that detail in my comment :). Another example of why it's great to discuss with your doctor instead of advice from forum comments! Googling around, apparently these values are standardized for pharmacology in the US by the USP, other areas may have other standards.
Hope that helps!

The last step in the receipt of my first beer batch stated: "now store it at a warm place around 21ºC".
No way I could find a place this cold during Rio de Janeiro summer.
"Even the ones that can be kept outside a fridge shouldn't be kept above room temperature".
