Good health starts in your gut!

Show your tastebuds and your gut some love with this protein yogurt containing prebiotics and probiotics!

Good gut health depends on many kinds of bacteria living and thriving in your gut(1).

These bacteria may be tiny, but they play a big role in our digestive and overall health. They can help to strengthen our immune system, help to absorb nutrients, produce serotonin (the happy hormone), maintain gut health and improve regularity(2-4).

Love your guts and the good bugs that live there…

When you eat, the bacteria in your gut eat. To ensure these bacteria (the good bugs) flourish, feed them with prebiotics and fibre, and they’ll look after you!

Having probiotics can help as well, by adding to the population of good bugs in your gut.

Probiotics Are Not
Just Any Bugs…

Probiotic

Not to be confused with yogurt cultures (the bacteria used to create yogurt from milk); probiotics are specific strains of good bacteria that provide a health benefit when consumed in adequate amounts(5).

Probiotics work in different ways; the health benefits depend on the strain.

One of the most well researched strains is B.lactis (BB-12®), which supports gut health by keeping you regular(5).

What are
prebiotics?

Probiotic

Prebiotics are non-digestible food ingredients that your good bugs eat(6).

Galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) are prebiotics that have been shown to increase the number of good bugs (Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus spp) in your gut and therefore support your gut health(7).

And There’s More…
