What is the recommended daily intake of Activia®?
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.
