Activia Review

What You Should Know

Activia is a yogurt made and marketed by Dannon. The yogurt claims to help regulate the digestive system within two weeks if eaten on a regular basis. The product can be found at various grocery and health food stores in the dairy section with all the other yogurt products. Prices will vary on location, though should still be under $5 per pack that contains 6 servings.

List of Ingredients

Activia only states its yogurt contains milk-derived ingredients, sugar, and Bifidus Regularis.

Product Features

Bifidus Regularis is an active culture that works to cleanse the intestinal tract and decrease intestinal transit time, thereby regulating the digestive system. Activia is the only yogurt product claiming to contain this live culture. While it may assist with digestive issues, any weight loss expereinced will be a side effect, as this is not meant specifically for weight loss. Dannon has made claims that they have scientific research to back their claims, though it appears that this research is the original study done on the culture. Some say this research was conducted by Dannon itself, and cannot be verified by a third party. There are some people who complain of intestinal issues and cramping when using the Activia product.

Advantages

  • Activia contains vitamins and minerals which are good for a balanced diet.
  • Activia can be purchased at many grocery stores throughout the United States.

Disadvantages

  • Bifidus Regularis is not proven to help aid digestion, and further studies are recommended to confirm if it does have any benefits.
  • Consumers state it actually causes intestinal discomfort and diarrhea.
  • Not ideal for diabetics because it contains excessive sugar.

Conclusion

The bottom line is that the Activia product is not really what all the advertising seems to make it. There are several side effects reported in other areas, though none of these are mentioned on the Dannon website. While this may help to balance a diet and regulate the digestive system, this should not be a primarily weight loss tool, and should be included as part of a balanced diet with plenty of exercise.

Top Choice for 2009: Avesil

Avesil is clearly the most promising weight control formula we know of on the market. After looking at hundreds of different purported weight loss supplements, Avesil was the most rigorously researched one that we could find. The foundation behind the Avesil formula was an original scientific research study that incorporated an incredible 284 previously published peer-reviewed clinical studies, many conducted in university research labs. All of the product claims made about Avesil are substantiated by this large volume of research.

Unlike many fad weight loss ingredients (hoodia, acai berry, etc.) which are at best supported by folklore and at worst by pop culture, Avesil is totally rooted in disciplined scientific study. In fact, two research trials conducted on human subjects, later published in highly respected scientific journals, concluded that the primary ingredients in Avesil resulted in an average weight loss of more than 3 times that of a healthy diet and exercise alone.

Customers will notice that the claims made about Avesil are quite reasonable and not the least far-fetched. Simply put, Avesil is a safe, healthy way to promote a significant increase in weight loss when taken in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise. In today's market there is a shamefully high number of consumers who have been deceived by outrageous "no work" promises, manufactured customer testimonials and bogus before/after pictures used by so many marketers of weight loss supplements. Avesil promises to deliver healthy, reasonable, and significant weight loss benefits - all offered through the process of a risk-free trial, leaving customers with very little to lose (other than weight).
