Hot Temperatures and Focus Vitamins: Storage Tips for Clinics
As temperatures climb, it’s important to remind your team and patients that heat can compromise supplement quality. High temperatures can cause vitamins to melt, stick together, or lose potency, potentially affecting compliance and outcomes.
Best Practices for Summer Shipments
To ensure your patients receive their supplements in optimal condition, remind them (and your staff, if you stock products in-clinic) to avoid leaving vitamins in hot environments like mailboxes, delivery trucks, or parked cars.
Track Every Shipment
For every Focus Vitamins order, whether placed online or by phone, a tracking number is emailed once the order ships. We encourage you to share this information with patients and advise them to monitor delivery progress—especially in warmer months. If someone else is retrieving the mail, sharing the tracking number can help avoid delays.
Use USPS Package Intercept®
Because Focus Vitamins are shipped via USPS—and not all delivery trucks are climate controlled—we recommend considering USPS Package Intercept®. This service allows your patients (or your clinic) to request that packages be held at the Post Office rather than delivered to a hot location. Learn more here →
