Hello,

Can someone please tell me where I can buy "Probiotic yoghurt" in Bern?
I read it in one magize, this is special kind of yoghurt which have more benefits over the normal yoghurt.

Thanks
Rose.

Migros or Co-op have brands similar to Actimel... whether they actually do anything beneficial over and above normal low fat yoghurt to justify 3x the price is somewhat debateable imo.

All yogurts should technically have probiotics in them, it's what makes them yogurt and not any other variety of dairy product with the same consistency (ie. quark). Yogurt has a 'smallish' quantity of probiotics, so depending on what you are expecting the results to be, you may actually need to take a probiotic supplement. (The amount of probiotics in yogurt can vary, depending on the initial quantity used, how long it was given to populate and how the yogurt was transported...did it get to hot, or too cold, etc.)

Richdog, you are right about the health benefits, it is not certain. I just want to try and see if it works.

Thanks

You can also buy probiotics in a drink form (Yakult) or take it in the form of a tablet. The tablet form I have found to be the best, but whether it is helpful or not the jury is still out

Can anyone recommend a good brand of probiotic yogurt here in Switzerland? There seem to be so many different types but I was told not all of them work as a probiotic.

You can actually make (probiotic) yoghurt easily yourself, places like manor sell the kit, though it's not necessary.

Thanks I heard about that but yet to try it!

AnAustralian, I have been looking for Yakult, but neither my local Migros or Coop seem to stock it so assumed it was not available here. Would be great if you could let me know where you have seen it. Thanks
