^^^^VERY important. They are going to spoil almost immediately in your gym bag. The are that fragile. Think of it this way: What would happen to fish if you left it in your gym bag? I'm not saying it's the same thing just that the outcome is very rancid
. They would be worthless and a little poisonous...I know that a lot of people are probably taking spoiled stuff all the time. They're wasting their money at best.
Maybe if you could remember to take them with breakfast and/or later on at some point.
