Many buyers have contacted us expressing concerns about shipping fully ozonated olive oil non-refrigerated. It seems that several manufacturers of ozonated oil products do not ship in the summer months, supposedly due to increased temperatures and possible spoilage of the product. In response to these questions we state that since ozonated olive oil has a very long shelf life even at room temperature, and we use temperatures of over 30C in the manufacturing process, a few days of shipping will not deteriorate the product. We take all precautions to ensure the potency of the product. It is shipped packaged in a frozen state and the most cost effective and speedy method of shipment is implemented. Your order may arrive liquified, but refrigeration will restore its gel-like consistency.
We feel the same way about our liquid ozonated olive oil. The product is ozonated to within a few hours of full ozonation and contains high therapeutic value. Therefore we feel that shipping this product in summer will not degrade its value in any significant way.
The only product we do not recommend shipping in the summer is our Organic Lightly Ozonated Olive Oil. It has much fewer ozonides and is therefore much less stable and prone to deterioration than our other ozonated oils. We do not consider winter shipping of this product a problem since the product is ozonated longer than recommended by Dr Clark and the product only degrades rapidly with high heat. It is shipped frozen and the least expensive but cost effective method of shipping is implemented.
We will discontinue shipping of organic lightly ozonated olive oil on May 31st and resume shipping orders in September.
