A Truly Healthy Yogurt: The Facts About Activia
Health Facts
Activia is more than a delicious, healthy yogurt. Each Activia all natural yogurt product contains an exclusive probiotic culture called Bifidus Regularis, which helps naturally regulate the digestive system, promoting healthy digestion and wellness. Activia products are available in a wide variety of flavors and recipes, from low sugar yogurt snacks to high fiber yogurts and healthy laban drinks. Whether you purchase Activia in individual cups or in family-size tubs, you can enjoy a delicious healthy yogurt while helping your body regulate digestion.
What exactly is a probiotic?
The word probiotic comes from the latin “pro,” meaning “for, or in favor of,” and “bio,” meaning “life.” In physiological terms, a probiotic is a harmless bacterium that helps the body function properly, or a substance that encourages the growth of these naturally healthy bacteria. When consumed in sufficient amounts, probiotics provide a health benefit beyond basic nutrition. These live microorganisms can help protect the body from harmful bacteria, and aid in crucial physiological processes including digestion. Activia is a probiotic yogurt because it contains large quantities of the Bifidus Regularis probiotic culture.
Each serving of Activia all natural laban or yogurt contains billions of active Bifidus Regularis cultures, which survive transit though the digestive system. Known to the scientific community as Bifidobacterium lactis DN-173 010, Bifidus Regularis has been clinically shown to survive passage through the digestive system in sufficient quantities to have a beneficial effect on digestion. Unlike many other live cultures advertised in other low sugar laban and yogurt products, Bifidus Regularis remains stable throughout Activia’s shelf life, and has been shown to successfully pass through the digestive system and arrive into the large intestine as a live culture. Activia is able to have its beneficial effect in the large intestine because Bifidus Regularis remains alive in sufficient quantities throughout the digestive tract.
Activia’s researchers selected Bifidus Regularis for inclusion in all of the brand’s healthy yogurt products because the Bifidobacterium has uniquely beneficial properties when ingested in sufficient amounts. When enjoyed as part of a balanced diet and active lifestyle, Activia with Bifidus Regularis helps regulate the digestive system and promotes overall wellbeing. Activia is also a good source of many nutrients such as Calcium, Riboflavin, and Vitamin D. Activia Fiber is also a good source of fiber. |
