Danactive Yogurt Drinks

Here I am with another product trial from BzzAgent. This time it was DanActive yogurt drinks. I will say that I'm very skeptical of this whole probiotics craze. I mean, yogurt has always had bacteria and we always knew it was good for us. I'm not sure that it's even better because it has a name.

So here is the scoop from the makers: "Not all probiotics confer the same benefits — while some promote to improve digestive transit, others can help strengthen your natural defenses, DanActive® is the only probiotic drink with L. casei Defensis® and the only one proven to help strengthen your natural defenses as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle." So there you are, not all bacteria are created equal . .

So since it was free, I tried it. The only flavour I could find was strawberry, which is not my favourite unless it is an actual ripe strawberry. I thought it tasted OK for strawberry and was wondering why it came in a tiny bottle, well "turns out studies have shown that the 10 billion beneficial bacteria in each bottle of DanActive® is the amount needed to help strengthen your natural defenses— that’s why it comes in such a perfectly-sized, effective 93mL bottle." So mystery solved. And I did end up taking the bottles to work and drinking them for a pick me up snack. I would really like to try the cranberry flavour. Again, I have coupons and a scratch card for a "win yogurt for a year" contest - if anyone wants one, I have a few left.
