Enhanced with Clarinol® CLA from Lipid Nutrition, it has all the benefits of yogurt, plus the distinctive health benefits of CLA, which include reducing body fat and increasing lean muscle.

Say Cheese, Quickly
A new yeast extract enhancer for Cheddar cheese is said to develop the flavor of a six-month aging in only six weeks. Savoury Systems says the flavor enhancement qualities of their bakers’ yeast extract helps develop immediate flavor improvement. The high protein (68%) and amino acid content promotes the growth of lactic acid bacteria to further develop flavor in approximately six weeks, under normal conditions. The overall cost reduction is one half of the normal six months of aging, the company claims. Savoury Systems International Inc., 888-534-6621, www.savourysystems.com
