Questions & Answers

activia????
has any one tried activia yogurt and what does it do and does it work?????

it helps with your digestion.....and yes, it works...:)..try it......



When is the best time to eat activia yogurt?
Activia yogurt is suppose to help you digest. I eat it a lot. Is there a best time to eat it so it helps digest your food? Like right after dinner. I think it might be best to eat i after dinner because it is your biggest meal and so activia can help digest it. That's just what i think.....

Anytime of day or night. it is up to your personal liking.



When should I eat a cup of Activia yogurt, and how many cups a day?
Does it really matter when you eat a cup of activia yogurt? Should i eat it before or after a meal, or in between? and how many cups should i eat a day? if i eat more than one cup a day, will it damage my digestive system or something? i bought the pack that has 24 cups, 4 ounces each.

This is why the "experts" say beware of food that gives health claims. That said, I will remind you that this is a FOOD - not a medicine. All yogurt has active live cultures in it. Activia just figured out a new way to market it. At any rate - here is the answer from the Danone site which basically says - one to three servings a day and you probably won't do any damage to yourself: Studies on intestinal transit time have shown the "effectiveness of Activia®" when one portion was eaten daily. These same studies have also demonstrated that the dosage influenced the results, with greater efficacy when up to three portions a day were consumed. In addition, Bifidobacterium (animalis) lactis does not stay in the colon and is eliminated in the stools along with other bacteria. The positive effects of taking Activia® on a regular basis will cease after a few weeks once you stop eating it. We therefore recommend consuming at least one portion of Activia® each day to renew the good bacteria in the digestive system. Studies show that these beneficial effects will start appearing after eating Activia® for 12 days. (Source: Meance S, et al. Recent advance in the use of functional foods: Effect of the commercial fermented milk with Bifidobacteriumanimalis strain DN-173 010 and yoghurt strains on gut transit time in the elderly. Microb Ecol Health Dis, 2003. 15: 15-22) We have no specific information on over-consumption of Activia® because fermented milks are regular consumption food. However, throughout our clinical studies, certain subjects had to ingest three portions per day for 15 days, and we noted no particular complaints - even from elderly people who were not used to ingesting such quantities of yogurt. All over-consumption can alter the dietary routine, so it is important to ingest foods from all necessary groups every day. Counter-indication: Allergies to milk. Thanks for letting me vent - I really do hope I answered your question, though!
