DanActive: Yogurt drink with probiotics

by Sarah J. Gim, Posted Apr 29th 2006 @ 3:14PM

Thanks you all for your recent comments on your experiences with Activia, the new yogurt product from Dannon. The yogurt contains a proprietary probiotic bacteria, Bifidus Regularis, which is supposed to help keep people "regular."

Probiotics are getting a lot of attention these days for their health benefits. Dannon has been doing a lot of research into probiotics and their benefits, and are introducing another new yogurt product along the same vein as Activia. DanActive, which is a drink, contains the L. Casei Defensis bacteria, which is supposed to help with human beings' immunity.

I haven't tried the product yet, but if I see it in the markets, I'll be sure to pick one up to give it a taste test.

Delicious. Addictive. Can't start my day without one. The vanilla flavor is gross, though. Big problem is only Whole Foods sells it (so far).
