DanActive Light Probiotic Dairy Drink

DanActiveHave you seen this in the supermarket? It's right where they keep the yogurt. Look again, because these bottles are so small, containing only 3 fluid ounces, that you might have missed them the first time around. The pack comes with 4 of these small bottles for $1.93. The 'price for the amount you get ratio' seems to be off for this one. For 2 bucks I could have bought a gallon of Arizona Diet Green Tea.

So how does this taste? I had the strawberry flavor and it has a a slight yogurt taste, with a wee bit of tartness to it, which I really liked. The consistency is more liquid than those yogurt smoothies that's been popping up lately, more like that of milk, which is the first ingredient.

"What's this probiotic stuff all about" you ask. Well, the drink contiains the culture (bacteria) "L. casei Defensis", which is supposed to promote the growth of the good bacteria in your gut, which will in turn help eliminate some of the bad bacteria, and improve your overall digestive and immune system.

Each 90 calories, 1.5 grams of total fat, 1 gram of saturated fat (2% and 5% of the recommended daily amount respectively), 3 grams of protein and 17 grams of carbohydrates which includes 5 grams of sugar and 3 grams fiber. There is also 10% of the recommeded daily amount for calcium.

Many yogurts have probiotics for less money, so I can't see myself buying this regularly.

I live in 90712 area..Where can I find DanActive? Tried it in Fort Worth..It's awesome..Thanks

The Nurtitional facts you listed above are incorrect. One bottle of DanActive has 90 calories, total fats 1.5 g, 5 mg cholesterol, 45 mg sodium, 134 mg potassium and a total carb of 17 g, which is all surar 17 g.

Thanks for letting us know Cynthia.

I was having really bad stomach aches. On advice of my gastroenterologist, I began drinking DanActive daily. Within 2 weeks, all cramps and aches were gone. Only problem is that the distribution is VERY limited. I have only found it in Publix stores in Atlanta, GA. Can never find it while traveling.

there is a new probiotic product called attune that comes in the form of chocolate bars! mmm! you can buy them online for now.

how do I get a coupn for danactive?

I LOVE THE PRODUCT! BUT I HAVE A BONE TO PICK WITH YOU... WITH ALL OF THE PROBLEMS WITH PLASTIC ETC. NOT BEING RECYLED ETC. AND CLUTTERING UP OUR WORLD - WHY NOT PUT THIS DRINK OUT IN A QUART (OR AT LEAST A PINT SIZE) CONTAINER - SO THERE WILL BE LESS MILLIONS OF BOTTLES FILLING UP OUR LANDFILLS? HOW LAZY ARE WE, THAT WE CAN'T POUR OUT 3 OUNCES INTO A GLASS AND DRINK IT - INSTEAD OF THROWING OUT 7 CONTAINERS A WEEK FOR EACH PERSON THAT IS DRINKING IT? HOW MANY DO YOU THINK ACTUALLY GET RECYLED?? PLEASE THINK ABOUT THAT. LIKE I SAID - LOVE THE PRODUCT/BUT HATE THE PACKAGING CONCEPT FOR THE SAKE OF OUR ENVIRONMENT.

Man these are delicious. too bad they cost so much lol.

THIS PRODUCT IS LACTOSE FREE.

I tried Dan active for the first time last night. I happened to notice it while I was in the grocery store, and figured I would try it. It was surprisingly very tasty, and I wished there was more in one serving! I have heard that it sometimes causes diarrhea, but at this point I’m good. Has anyone else had any problems?
