Health and Fitness:

Protein:

Biofarm yoghurt is a quality source of protein. Your muscles and immune system are made up mostly of protein. As our yoghurt is made wholly with pasteurised milk , the protein in our yoghurt contains all the essential amino acids of milk that are required by the body for optimum growth. For this reason, more of the protein can be used for protein anabolism (metabolism), and there’s less chance the protein in the yoghurt will be converted to fat and stored.

Calcium:

Out of all the minerals in our body, calcium is present in the largest quantity – a little over a kilo’s worth. Our bones and our teeth make up nearly the entire amount; a tiny remainder is in our tissues and blood. Calcium works with another mineral, phosphorus, in building and maintaining our bones and teeth.

Every day, about a third of the calcium leaves our bones and has to be renewed through the calcium we absorb from calcium rich food (or supplements).

Vitamin D is essential to the absorption of calcium by the body. Vitamin D is supplied to us by the ultraviolet rays of the sun, and is also present in cream, or milk fat.

Biofarm wholemilk yoghurts are a readily available source of calcium thanks to the presence of both Vitamin D and phosphorus.

Probiotic and additive free:

Probiotic cultures transform the lactose in the milk to lactic acid creating a naturally fermented

Yoghurt which is more easily digested. The live bacteria colonise the body and assist with general health and wellbeing.

Biofarm yoghurt contains no added milk powder/solids (high in lactose) and is therefore a low allergy food.

There is no added sugar in any of Biofarm’s natural yoghurts. Bush Honey and Honey Dew offer a naturally sweet flavour in both wholemilk and low fat varieties.

Biofarm Yoghurt the perfect energy food for:

Weight loss (low fat varieties)
Muscle building, growth and repair (wholemilk varieties)
Breast feeding mothers
Growth and repair of bones (esp. For children, the elderly..and everyone inbetween!)
