YOGURT - A SUPERFOOD

Yogurt is a highly nutritious food choice because it's a good source of calcium and protein, and it's rich in vitamins and minerals that are necessary for good health. Plus, with Stonyfield Farm, you get the added health benefits of our exclusive blend of six live active cultures.

Calcium - Vital for strong bones, helpful for weight loss!

Calcium is essential for building and maintaining strong bones, and also serves important nerve, muscle, and blood clotting functions. If you don't consume enough calcium, your body adjusts to make up for the shortage, often by taking it from your bones. So when you're in your 30's and older, your bone mass can actually decrease. This is why you have to get calcium daily. Dairy foods, like yogurt, possess the most concentrated sources of calcium in a diet, and are better absorbed than most sources of calcium. Each 6 oz. serving of Stonyfield Farm yogurt provides 25-35% of your daily calcium requirement! As an added bonus, studies show that three servings of dairy a day in a reduced-calorie diet naturally provide the calcium and protein needed to support weight loss.

Protein - an important nutrient.

Protein makes up your body's muscle, blood and plasma. It's also the key to your immune system. Six ounces of Stonyfield Farm yogurt provides 6 grams of protein a significant portion of your daily nutritional needs!

Live Active Cultures - the proactive approach to good health

Studies have shown that the exclusive blend of live active cultures found in Stonyfield Farm yogurt benefit health in a variety of ways:

  • Enhance digestion
  • Improve nutrient absorption
  • Boost the immune system
  • Inhibit the growth and activity of disease-producing organisms

 

Besides L. bulgaricus and S. thermophilus (required to be called "yogurt"), Stonyfield Farm adds four more live active cultures. We proudly offer the premium probiotic L. Rhamnosus in our yogurts.
