Advantages: No doubt these have valueto some people

Disadvantages: Not much effect for me

I had seen a lot of TV advertising for Actimel so when I saw it in Tesco in packs of eight little bottles, buy one, get one free, I decided to try it.

I frequently get a bloated feeling after eating and my digestive system can be a little sensitive at the best of times so I decided that if I tried this for sixteen days (enough bottles in the two packs) I would soon know if it worked for me.

I really did not fancy the strawberry or pineapple flavours that were on the shelf, so I opted for the original flavour. These drinks come in little plastic bottles with foil pull off tops and they should be kept in the fridge. The taste was just like drinking a thing kind of drinking yogurt and it was certainly not unpleasant.

The idea behind these is that the natural probiotics in this product, which are live microorganisms, help the immune system to cope with whatever come along and fight off infection, while encourage the stomach to absorb nutrients more readily.

All this sounded good I must admit and this was a pleasant product to test. I did think that I felt physically healthier after the first week of taking these but I think that it might just have been a psychological thing on my part.

After the sixteen days I ran out of them of course and just never thought about buying any more. I have to deduce from that that they made little difference to my general sense of well being because if there had been a big change I would have noticed.

There are pleasant to drink and while I do not dispute that they have some value health wise, I really do not think that they made that much difference to me.

Would I buy them again? Well, I might or might not. I am certainly in a hurry to go and find them in Tesco.

Summary: Tasye okay but no startling health benefits
