Abstract: Patients with slight digestive disorders benefit from daily consumption of the functional yogurt Activia (R), which contains the specific probiotic strain Bifidobacterium animalis DN-173 010. This was confirmed by a practice observation initiated by Danone GmbH Germany. In the course of this surveillance 4.600 patients consumed one serving (a 115 g) of Activia (R) daily during a test period of 14 days. The effect of Activia (R) consumption was evaluated by the patients via a self-assessed questionnaire. 73.4% of the patients confirmed that their digestive complaints improved slightly to clearly due to the consumption of Activia (R). In general digestive complaints occurred perceptively less during the 2-week consumption of Activial (number of patients professing to have no complaints increased from 2.2% to 45.0%). Moreover 17.1% of the participating patients reported an increase in defecation frequency. These results confirm previous results from numerous clinical trials, which have shown that Activial significantly shortens the intestinal transit time, thus assisting natural digestive regulation.
