Now that everyone has a background on OIKOS, what we are going to be discussing today about OIKOS yogurt. Mainly how OIKOS helps your GI Tract!
Lactose in OIKOS
One question that I know you all are wondering is: does Oikos Greek yogurt contain lactose? Well the answer is yes! But it is still better than having milk because the fermenting agents in the yogurt digest a part of the lactose. Since Oikos yogurt is drained, it has less lactose than regular yogurt. Due to the thickness of the yogurt, it travels down the GI tract more slowly, which helps with the digestion of the lactose.
Probiotics in OIKOS
Also, OIKOS yogurt contains probiotics, which help promote a healthy gut. The GI tract contains different types of bacteria to aid in digesting food both good and bad. Luckily, eating OIKOS Greek yogurt helps promote good bacteria in your GI tract. The more good bacteria is in the GI Tract, the healthier the GI tract is. If this is the case, a healthy balance of friendly bacteria can help fight digestive issues such as diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome or some other intestinal diseases.
Protein in OIKOS
OIKOS yogurt also contains protein which is one of the main nutrients that provides energy. Also transfers oxygen across cell membranes. Your body uses protein to build bones, muscles, cartilage, skin, hair and blood.
These are some of the ways the OIKOS greek yogurt can affect the body positively! Whether its with digestion (GI Tract) or with protein!
