Anlene Hi Calcium Low Fat Yogurt – Mixed Berries

959 days ago

Yes, I know, Anlene is the same company that manufactures the ancient lady’s milk formula. Ya, the one especially made for the bone which old ladies tend to break when they fall or walk or something. Well, they are supposed to be the expert in bone nutrition, so whatever they say, we should pay attention, even when we are not at that age. In no time, you might find yourself in the same shoes as those old ladies needing hip replacement or something. And who says you can’t take care of your bones when you are young? In fact, taking care of your bones is important now because they will help when you get old. So please, sit back and enjoy reading this little review and don’t worry about being laughed at when you buy Anlene stuff. Those people don’t know what is good for them.

For those who are in the dark, other than just milk formulas and milk drinks, Anlene do have a line of yogurt, especially made from the same milk in their other milk products. So, this will mean that whatever health benefits they do to their milk, the effects will also be felt if you consume their yogurt. Well, that is what I hope anyway. But the truth is, if their milk is good for you, then the yogurt made from those milk will definitely be even better for you, especially when it comes to calcium adsorption.

Here we have the Anlene yogurt. Comes in a 2-pack which is kind of weird. Don’t be fooled by our picture, it is still rather small and consuming two of the tubs is barely enough to provide you with the health benefits yogurt confers. That is just 240ml of yogurt! And for so little a yogurt, it is still rather expensive. If I remember correctly, I bought this from Shop N Save for S$2.20.

Check it out – Hi Calcium Low Fat Yogurt! They have a formula for strong bones. Yes, it is some sort of Nano-calcium which is more than 100x smaller than the regular calcium. Cool. Oh, I forgot to mention, this is the mixed berries flavour.  In my opinion, the mixed berries flavour in this yogurt is just a bit weak. Yes, you will find bits and pieces of the fruits in the yogurt, but that’s about it. I think a little more flavour will do this yogurt justice.

The nutrition table for this yogurt.

Okay, the ingredients are water, milk solids, sugar, mixed berries, minerals like tri-calcium phosphate, nano-calcium carbonate and magnesium phosphate, vitamin  D3, live cultures like s.thermophilus and l.bularicus. It also contains permitted stabilizers, flavourings and colouring. Too bad, they don’t have other live cultures like l.acidophilus, just the basic yogurt cultures. I think it could even be better if it included other types of live cultures (probiotics) since we know that those are good for our digestive systems.

Made in Malaysia.

The weird thing is that the wordings on the yogurt tubs themselves are all in Bahasa Melayu. I guess this way, they solve all the problems with selling in Malaysia and in Singapore. Just use an English cover for those sold in Singapore and a Malay cover for those sold in Malaysia. Save quite a lot of money when it comes to packaging as well.
