My boyfriend and I have been trying out a product called DanActive by Danone. I think it’s called Actimel in other parts of the world. It’s supposed to “help strengthen your natural defenses” if you drink one every day. We tried it every day for 8 days. By the end of the 8 days my boyfriend loved it. He keeps asking if we can buy more.
DanActive contains something called L. casei Defensis which is a probiotic culture exclusive to DanActive. This is what is supposed to strengthen your body. If you want to learn more about what that is you can visit their website at danactive.com.
I wasn’t sure if I was going to like it when I first bought it. It is like a yogurt drink. It tastes just like yogurt but it’s thinner like juice. I’m not a big yogurt fan so my hopes weren’t too high. The first kind I tried was Pomegranate-Berry and it wasn’t too bad. The next day I had Blueberry which I was a little afraid to try because I don’t like Blueberries but I liked that one even more than the first one. Then we bought Cranberry Raspberry which was also good. I did feel good after drinking them individually. But at the end of the 8 days I didn’t feel like my immune system was stronger. It was probably coincidence, but on the 8th day of drinking them I caught myself a cold
. I must say that I enjoyed drinking it more than I like eating yogurt though. My boyfriend’s only complaint was that it was too small. He wanted to drink larger amounts but I personally think they are big enough.
The reason we decided to try out this product was because I’m a member of a website called BzzAgent. I was chosen for the DanActive campaign so they sent me a coupon to get a free 4-pack and other coupons for $1 off to give away to my friends. Unfortunately, by the time I got the package the stores were fazing out the 4-packs so I wasn’t able to get my free one. I also got some contest cards where you can go online and enter a number to win a free years supply of DanActive. If any of you are 18 or older and live in Canada let me know and I will give you a code to enter!



Ohhh man, I really hated yogurt but now I’m IN LOVE with it because I realized how much better mixing granola in it helps! =P I’ve never had DanActive but I’ve had Activia…I hope that isn’t the same company. I don’t think it is but I’m not sure. I think this is good for people who have irregular digestive systems but you have to be careful. =/ You can’t eat it like normal yogurt for random snacks…or at least, I can’t. It’ll make you go to the bathroom a lot!
Hehe, that’s cool. I love yogurt, hate yogurt drinks. I just can’t get into yogurt drinks… It makes me gag. Yogurt, on the other hand, is good! Hehe. I don’t know about those yogurts that’s supposed to help your immune system. I’ve never really tried that out to see. I like regular/organic yogurts though. Hehe. Sucks that you caught a cold though! Hope you’re feeling a better!
Ahh, buzzing!
I’m a member of a similar site called Buzzador through which I get to try out and review new products while telling people I know about them. It’s a cool concept. Right now I’m doing a campaign in which I get to rent movies for free.
Oooo send me a code!!
My friend LOOOVES DanActive… but I haven’t tried it yet. Sucks you didn’t get your free one though
I’d be a little pissed about that. haha
I’ve never heard of this before. I like yogurt so I would definitely give the blueberry one a try. I love blueberry yogurt.
I’m not a fan of yogurt as well. Except if you put fruit loops of Fruity Pebbles in it that makes the sour flavor turn into sweet. >.<
Oh, I’ve heard of Actimel. The commercial goes all the time around here now. I don’t believe all those promises about improving the immune system or “speeding” up a slow stomach. Great if the product actually works, but just empty talk otherwise.
Sounds like you’re getting addicted to it, eh? Those kinds of yoghurt is a great way to refresh yourself with.
Hm, it’s not the hosting part I’m dealing with; it’s the domain name. Bubble.nu provides fantastic hosting and I couldn’t ask for more. If only those top domain names came for free, ha-ha.
I’ve heard of DanActive, but have never tried it. Glad to hear it’s good, though. I like yogurt, so I can imagine that I would like the stuff. I’ll have to try it.
I like the new layout, a lot! It’s so clean and uses such pretty colors.
I hate yogurt too
But I love frozen yogurt haha. Weird, eh? Frozen yogurt tastes waaaaay more awesome than yogurt. My friend loves smoothie better though, have you ever tried it? And I love pomegranate
Wow you finally have WordPress on your site! Congrats!
It makes your site much neater now.
I hate trying to find something that works for you. I’ve been trying to find something like a meal replacement just for brekkie (I hate eating brekkie
).
