Composition and useful properties of Activia
According to manufacturers, the feature of Activia fermented milk products is the presence of Bifidus Regularis or Bifidus Actiregularis bifidobacteria. They have a useful probiotic property and are well tolerated by humans, as they are close to the natural cultures found in his stomach. Such bifidocultures for a long time retain their activity in the Activia products, thanks to carefully balanced components. Unlike other bacteria, they do not die in the acidic environment of the stomach and safely enter the intestines.
Thus, the products of Activia, with regular consumption, normalize the natural intestinal microflora, cleansing it of harmful bacteria and putrefactive microorganisms. This, in turn, leads to an improvement in the digestive processes in the body and eliminates various problems with the gastrointestinal tract. In addition, the normal intestinal microflora has a positive effect on the state of immunity, and therefore on health in general.
In addition to the beneficial bifodobacteria, Activia also contains other nutrients: B vitamins, iron and calcium. Various additives are added to Activia that make the products of this brand more palatable: gelatin of animal origin, corn starch, apple cider vinegar, pieces of fresh fruit, cereals, various flavorings and flavor enhancers.
Activia also has sugar and fructose in yoghurts and curds, so this product should not be abused, especially for those whose body cannot tolerate these substances.
