Do you know that the foundation of a strong body lies in a good digestive
system? The gut, which primarily carries out functions like digestion, nutrient
absorption, and waste excretion, can affect our overall health and wellbeing.
Factors
such as poor dietary habits, stress, unhealthy lifestyles, medication, and
aging can disrupt our gut function. This can result in imbalanced gut bacteria,
where too much harmful or bad bacteria starts to grow.
If left untreated, this
may lead to digestive issues including diarrhoea, constipation, change in bowel
habits, and more. Hence,
protecting and keeping our gut environment in its best possible condition is
essential in ensuring that our body’s defence system is working properly.
Mouse mommy was enjoying drinking Fernleaf Cultured Milk Drink Probiotic+ for my daily digestive health. Taste good
with its original flavour.
Bringing New Zealand dairy goodness to Malaysian families
every day since 1982, Fernleaf, a Fonterra brand, introduces an affordable and
enjoyable way to help replenish good bacteria for the gut! Fernleaf Cultured
Milk Drink Probiotic+ is the only cultured milk drink in Malaysia that contains
a combination of three (3) scientifically researched probiotics, namely Lactobacillus
rhamnosus HN001 (DR20), Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis
(BB-12), and Lactobacillus acidophilus LA-5.
Taken as part of a daily balanced diet, combined with an active
lifestyle, the three scientifically researched probiotics helps to maintain good
gut function. Achieving good gut function helps to support the body’s defence
system.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), probiotics are live microorganisms
that bring health benefits to the host when consumed in adequate amounts. Also
known as “good bacteria”, probiotics help to inhibit the growth of bad bacteria
to ward off negative health-related effects caused by them,
while replenishing the good bacteria within, thereby enhancing the body’s defence
system. For that reason, maintaining balanced gut bacteria should be practiced
every day to support good health and wellbeing.
Ms Liew Yen Lee, Assistant Nutrition Manager of Fonterra Brands
(Malaysia) Sdn Bhd, explained the importance of incorporating probiotics
into one’s daily diet: “70% of our bodies’ immunity lies in our gut, which is
constantly exposed to external ‘enemies’ like bacteria, viruses, and other
foreign substances. Therefore, having a good gut environment is extremely
important to support a strong body defence system, which needs to be ready to
ward off any troublemakers that can affect the body or cause unwanted
infections.”
“When we get sick, bad bacteria takes the opportunity to multiply and
thrive in our bodies. Regular consumption of probiotics helps to improve gut
function, keeping the good bacteria in our gut at a healthy level, so that the
body can re-establish its natural equilibrium and keep the body defence system
working normally,”
continued Liew.
In order to deliver gut benefits to Malaysian consumers, Fonterra’s Research
and Development (R&D) team worked closely with established probiotic
experts from Chr. Hansen to develop Fernleaf Cultured Milk Drink Probiotic+. Puan Megawati Suzari, New Product
Development (NPD), Scientific & Regulatory Affairs Director, Fonterra
Brands (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. elaborated “The benefits of the three probiotic strains used in this
cultured milk drink are backed by science, and have been rigorously researched
in many scientific studies, making it suitable across all ages. As a family
brand, Fonterra aims to support all adults’ and childrens’ gut function. When
your gut is working well, it not only helps maintain good body defence system,
but also encourages regular bowel movement, effective digestion, and nutrient
absorption.”
“That’s why Fernleaf Cultured Milk Drink Probiotic+, with three types of
probiotics offers a convenient and affordable way to help replenish good
bacteria in the gut. With the increase in disease emergence, the most recent
being COVID-19, supporting our body defence system has never been more
important. Though we have stepped into an endemic phase and COVID-19 is no
longer life-threatening thanks to the advancement in medical technology, we
hope that Malaysians will continue to watch their health, as good health helps
all of us enjoy a better quality of life,” said Megawati.
Fernleaf Cultured Milk Drink Probiotic+
is now available at 99 Speed Mart and AEON in West Malaysia.
