This low-fat mango yogurt drink is a functional food designed to support digestive wellness, primarily featuring the proprietary probiotic culture *Bifidus ActiRegularis* (Bifidobacterium lactis DN-173 010), which is studied for its ability to survive transit through the gastrointestinal tract and contribute to gut flora balance.
Nutritionally, it offers a moderate energy profile, typically delivering around 70 kilocalories per 100 grams, making it a suitable and convenient option for mindful consumption or a quick snack.
The macronutrient composition is characterized by a significant carbohydrate content, primarily driven by both naturally occurring lactose from the milk base and added sugars necessary for taste profile and preservation, alongside the natural fructose and glucose inherent in the mango puree. The total sugar content averages around 11.5 grams per 100g, necessitating awareness for individuals closely monitoring their daily sugar intake or glycemic load.
The protein contribution is respectable for a low-fat dairy beverage, providing approximately 3.5 grams per 100g. These proteins are high-quality whey and casein, offering all essential amino acids crucial for muscle repair, immune function, and promoting sustained satiety.
True to its 'low-fat' designation, the lipid profile is minimal, featuring less than 1 gram of total fat. The small fraction of fats present are mostly saturated fats inherent in the dairy component, but these quantities are negligible within a balanced diet.
From a micronutrient standpoint, this drink excels as a bioavailable source of Calcium (approximately 120 mg per 100g), an electrolyte and mineral vital for skeletal integrity, muscle contraction, and nerve signaling. It also provides essential B vitamins, particularly Riboflavin (B2) and Vitamin B12, which are integral cofactors in energy metabolism and red blood cell formation. Trace minerals like Phosphorus and Potassium further support cellular function and fluid balance.
The inclusion of mango not only provides a pleasant tropical flavor but also contributes beneficial trace components, including small amounts of Vitamin A precursors, notably beta-carotene, which adds mild antioxidant capacity to this convenient, gut-friendly beverage.
