Culturelle®: The Better Alternative to Yogurt

If you’re looking to add probiotics to your healthy lifestyle, yogurt might not be all you think it is. That’s because with yogurt there aren’t any guarantees of what strains you’re getting or how many live cultures will be there when you eat it. Here are some things to consider about yogurt.

What’s in there and will it do anything for me?

Regular yogurt is often pasteurized, which means it has been heat treated for longer product shelf life. Pasteurized yogurt has no bacteria at all inside, good or bad. Even in yogurts that claim live and active cultures, they may die off before you get a chance to consume it. 

What else am I getting with yogurt?

Actually, you may be getting a lot of extra stuff you don’t want: sugar, fat and calories. Many probiotic-enriched yogurts actually recommend you eat three cups a day to meet the probiotic levels needed to feel any digestive health benefits. All of those pounds and calories can start to add up, and quickly!
