Not really. Freezing kills them. All the "name brands" I have gotten say to NOT FREEZE and to shake every couple of days to keep them alive.

Freezing will rupture and kill the cells.

Just put them in the refrigerator, and shake the bottle every few days, at least.

Was it home grown, or what type is it?
