Activia also is getting a glow-up of its own: sleek new and modern packaging across its portfolio, the launch of Activia Proactive, and revamped recipes with simpler ingredients and 25% less sugar across its Activia Probiotic Low Fat yogurt cups line.
A thick and creamy yogurt with billions of live and active probiotics, Activia Proactive Resbacteria in one’s gut. There are 0g of added sugar and no artificial sweeteners, the company says.
A good source of calcium and vitamin D to support strong bones, Activia Proactive is available in 4-count multipacks in four flavors: Vanilla, Strawberry, Mixed Berry and Peach Mango. The multipacks are available at retailers nationwide for a suggested retail price 4.69.

With #GutHealth and #GutTok collecting more than 6 billion views on TikTok, gut health has gone viral. Yet a recent Danone study found that half of Americans are unaware that the gut microbiome can impact gut health, and even more are unaware of how it may impact overall wellness — including immunity, mood, and sleep. Research has also shown 63% of Americans are looking for science-backed information as it relates to gut health.
“We’ve seen an organic glow-up among Gen Z and millennials in particular, who are embracing a healthier mind-and-body approach to wellness,” said Derek Neeley, vice president of marketing for gut health at Danone North America. “As a premier probiotic yogurt brand that has been dedicated to educating and supporting consumers for more than two decades, we’re energized by the growing awareness of gut health as a foundation for overall wellness.
“This momentum presents a unique opportunity to reintroduce Activia — cutting through the noise and helping people feel confident amid the trending conversation around gut health, while also connecting with a new generation discovering our brand for the first time.”
Dr. Shah added: “Wellness should feel empowering — not overwhelming. So many aspects of our overall health — energy, mood, digestion, even immunity — begin in the gut. That’s why I’m excited to partner with Activia to bring a fresh, modern approach to gut health — one that’syo rooted in science, grounded in real-life habits, and designed to spotlight the importance of inner health, not just outer glow.”
