| 3. What makes DanActive work? A key ingredient in DanActive is our exclusive
L. casei Immunitas™ culture. Evidence from many studies demonstrate
that daily consumption of DanActive with L. casei Immunitas™
helps strengthen your body's defenses.
|
| 4. Why is L. casei Immunitas™ unique? There are many L. casei culture strains,
some already present in human intestinal flora. First identified in
1919, L. casei strains are used in a number of dairy products
worldwide. The L. casei Immunitas™ culture in DanActive is a
proprietary strain that can only be found in Dannon's DanActive.
L. casei Immunitas™ is the "fanciful" trademarked name for the L. casei culture that is only found in DanActive.
This strain was selected by Danone Vitapole, Danone's international research
center. The L. casei Immunitas™ culture was chosen for its probiotic
characteristics and its beneficial effect. Multiple clinical studies
have proven that DanActive with L. casei Immunitas™ can help
strengthen your body's defenses.
|
| 5. How often should you drink DanActive? To enjoy its benefits, Dannon recommends drinking
one bottle of DanActive per day. Drinking DanActive each morning is

of DanActive throughout the day.
|

consult their physician before using DanActive. However, people who
have difficulty digesting lactose may tolerate products that contain
live and active cultures, such as DanActive. The cultures begin breaking
down the lactose while the product ferments and also while being digested.
Because of this dairy products with live and active cultures may be
tolerated.
