Introducing Activia EXPERT: Canada's most advanced yoghurt for gut health

Published: 15-Aug-2025

Backed by 35 years of global research, this new product line features an exclusive blend of prebiotics and probiotics to help support digestive health

Activia, the pioneer in gut health and the number-one doctor-recommended probiotic food and beverage brand in Canada, proudly unveils Activia EXPERT—its most advanced yoghurt yet.

Backed by Activia's over 35 years of global research in gut health, this new product line is the first of its kind in Canada, combining an exclusive blend of probiotics with prebiotics.

Developed for health-conscious consumers seeking elevated gut health support, Activia EXPERT offers an updated nutritious profile tailored to meet the needs of modern lifestyles.

Like the original Activa, EXPERT contains more than one billion probiotics to support gut health.

Plus, each serving of EXPERT provides prebiotics, along with 6 g of protein and 35% less sugar.

Powered by an enhanced formulation, it's the ideal choice for those looking to elevate their digestive health routine.

True to Activia's commitment to Canadian quality, the EXPERT range is proudly made at Danone's Boucherville, Quebec facility using 100% Canadian milk.

A recent study conducted by Activia reveals that more than half of Canadians want to improve their digestive health but don't know where to begin, whereas 93% consider gut health in their food choices.

Yet in a landscape dominated by social media-driven health content, a Canadian Medical Association study found that 62% of Canadians have been misled by health information on social media platforms.

"Data shows that more than half of Canadians experience symptoms of poor gut health every month ... and that there are several factors that affect one's gut health."

"Our daily habits, especially nutrition and diet, can make a real difference," says Janna Boloten, MHM, RD, a registered dietitian and Director of Nutrition and Scientific Affairs at Danone Canada.

"Many Canadians are looking for trusted, effective and practical guidance that they can use in their daily lives. The amount of information available to consumers is overwhelming, so it's essential to look to credible sources and to consult a registered dietitian for personalised nutrition advice for gut health."


"Activia has been the undisputed global leader in gut health for the past three decades, so the launch of Activia EXPERT reflects the brand's unwavering commitment to keeping science at the forefront through research and innovation."


"With its exclusive probiotic and prebiotic formulation, Activia EXPERT offers a simple and tasty way to support digestive health as part of your routine."

"This is a complement to our core range, and a next-level option for those who are looking for added support for their gut health," says Geneviève Bolduc, Head of the Yoghurt Category at Danone Canada.
