Just like other Yoplait yogurts, Yo-Plus has active cultures. But Yo-Plus gives you much more: our special blend
of fiber (3 grams per serving) and probiotics to help regulate your digestive health naturally. That's why one cup
of Yo-Plus every day is a great addition to your daily health routine. But with all the nourishment and delicious flavors you get from other Yoplait yogurt products, you'll want to keep them in your day, too.

Yo-Plus contains three different types of live and active cultures. S. thermophilus and L. bulgaricus are the same types of bacteria you usually find in yogurt. But Yo-Plus also provides the added benefit of the probiotic culture Bifidobacterium lactis Bb-12TM. Together, these three strains provide billions of live cultures throughout the shelf life of Yo-Plus.
