Back in the days when Prevention Magazine was the only one talking about health food, and diet books had not yet become instant best sellers, there were no Wild Oats or Whole Foods Markets.

Even before hippies had gathered in garages to order exotic whole grain flours and debate over how one should pronounce the word “tofu”--Dannon Yogurt professed to the world the advantages of consuming fermented milk products on national television.

The secret ingredient in yogurt is, of course, the live cultures that help maintain one’s natural digestive processes in balance. It’ the thing you should be eating every time you take an antibiotic, because while antibiotics take their toll on invading germs, they also create havoc on the helpful bacteria.

Activa is wonderful for restoring your body’s natural flora because not only does it come in six fabulous flavors, the live cultures make it past your stomach acids to where they are needed most. Pick up your favorite flavors at the grocery and take them up on their two week challenge, one a day for two weeks and feel the difference.

Of course, if you are one of those people who don’t want to eat your probiotics there are a variety of choices still available. Also try Now Acidophilus (Stabilized) Three Billion. You can keep it in your briefcase because it doesn’t require refrigeration. But again, with just a quick google we're sure you will find more than a dozen brands that you can keep in your bag.
