Allergen Information
Nutritional Summary
The product receives an AVERAGE rating. While it provides a significant dose of beneficial probiotics (Lactobacillus casei Shirota strain) and is fat-free, its health score is significantly lowered by the high sugar content. A single 65ml serving contains 10.5g of sugar, with 9.5g being added sugar, which accounts for 19% of the FSSAI recommended daily allowance. This makes it a high-sugar product despite its digestive health benefits.

The claims 'Helps Improve Digestion' and 'Helps Build Immunity' are supported by the presence of the probiotic strain Lactobacillus casei Shirota, which has been studied for these benefits. The 'Fat-Free' claim is accurate as per the nutritional information (<0.1g fat). The claims are generally substantiated by the product's core ingredient and are not misleading.
