TORONTO, ONTARIO, Jun 19, 2006 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- The literal meaning of "Probiotics" comes from the Greek meaning "For Life" Probiotics are living bacteria cultures, which when consumed in sufficient quantities, have beneficial effects on health. While many yogurts contain live cultures, they may not have the strength to survive the digestive process and therefore, may not provide the same health benefits as adding Probiotic cultures. YOGEN FRUZ, by adding Probiotic cultures to its frozen yogurt, helps to maintain optimal levels of good bacteria in your digestive system.

According to the company, the regular cultures being used are Lactobacillus bulgaricus & Streptococcus thermophilus, and the Probiotic Culture is patent-protected L. paracasei subsp paracasei F19, a very robust organism that has been shown to survive the journey through the stomach and thrive in the gut.

Some of the benefits of Probiotic cultures are that it reduces the risk of colon cancer, assists in lowering cholesterol, helps manage lactose intolerance, improves immune system, prevents infections and reduces inflammation, helps improve mineral absorption and helps maintain a healthy digestive system.
