"We also know that consumers are becoming increasingly interested in both gut health and foods that help support the immune system. Our new innovation, Activia+, comes at the perfect time as, now more than ever, people are turning to functional foods and products for the extra support of their gut and immune system."

The new innovation has 9 grams of sugar, 70 calories, and comes in three fan-favorite flavors: strawberry, peach and raspberry.
To bring to life the added benefits of the nutrients in Activia+ for immune system support, the brand launched a new creative campaign, titled "A+ Feels." The campaign, geared towards younger generations of consumers interested in proactive health and a continuation of the Activia "A to Z" campaign from July 2020, features catchy, rhythmic music with scenes of diverse women feeling full of life – from family and fitness to work and love.
