Hal65 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 They look like this and come in larger sizes up to 1 L: I've read that it's fermented milk, but when I type that into Google I get something that looks like a watery yogurt. And not orange in color (white). I tried the taste of it, and it tastes much sweeter than regular milk. I was hoping that the lactose would be more processed, because that's what I read of fermented milk, but I had diarrhea afterwards, another sign that it's not fermented milk. So what is it? Is it more or less healthy than regular milk? In particular I'm looking for a good amount of protein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoneyboy Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I suspect you are referring to the Betagen products on sale in Thailand. http://www.betagen.co.th/web/products/?lang=en Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 (edited) I suspect you are referring to the Betagen products on sale in Thailand. http://www.betagen.co.th/web/products/?lang=en Yes, Betagen is the popular brand in Thailand found about everywhere. A small 85 ml bottle cost 10 Baht or so. Makes a price of 118 Baht/liter. (I don't know the prices for bigger bottles) For comparison: Yakult in Germany about 8 EUR/liter ~ 300 Baht/liter. The health effect of all that stuff is often disputed. I drink it for a change. I found some discussion about the number of bacteria in the stuff. My little Betagen bottle shows "9000 million" (in Thai). And the Thai website says it: it;s per bottle. Edited May 2, 2016 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
