Activia Probiotic Yoghurt | Improve Your Gut Health | Activia

Activia® is one of the first new generation of yoghurts with a probiotic culture.

This yoghurt contains an exclusive bifidobacteria called Bifidus ActiRegularis™. Bifidus ActiRegularis™ is our unique probiotic bacteria that has undergone clinical studies¹ and is scientifically proven for its ability to survive in the digestive system. It's also a delicious way to help your digestive system function well. Additionally, Activia® contains no added sugar and no artificial sweeteners.

To get the creamy texture and delicious taste of our Activia®, we’ve been perfecting our natural fermentation process since 1989. The perfect balance of temperature and our slow fermentation process keep our yoghurt cultures alive growing billions of probiotics.

Yes. Activia® is a yoghurt because it is fermented, not only by Bifidus ActiRegularis™, but also other cultures including two that are used traditionally in yoghurt: Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus.

Activia® is available at all major retailers and can be found in the yoghurt aisle of Woolworths, Coles and IGA.

We are crafting our Activia® locally in the Kiewa Valley, Victoria, with all our milk sourced from Aussie cows.

Bifidus ActiRegularis™ comes from fermented milk and was specially selected for its ability to grow and survive in Activia®. Bifidus ActiRegularis™ is a probiotic culture that has been the subject of clinical studies and is supported by 17 scientific studies¹, and proven to survive through your stomach to your large intestine alive.

Studies¹ show that Bifidus ActiRegularis™ can survive in the intestine for up to 10 days following the last ingestion and that it does, in fact, populate the digestive tract. This delay simply represents the time it takes to eliminate Bifidus ActiRegularis™. That is why only a regular daily intake of Activia® guarantees its effectiveness on digestive comfort* such as bloated feeling.
