Allergen Information
Nutritional Summary
The product's primary strength is its high concentration of beneficial probiotics, which supports gut health. It is also fat-free, cholesterol-free, and very low in sodium. However, the grading is lowered to 'AVERAGE' due to the very high added sugar content (9.5g per 65ml serving), which accounts for a significant portion of the recommended daily intake for sugar in a very small volume.

The health claims regarding digestion and immunity are supported by scientific evidence for the specific probiotic strain used (Lactobacillus casei Shirota).
