The products are reported to have a milder flavor profile when compared to other fermented dairy products available, and are made with a blend of bacteria cultures, vitamin D, calcium, protein and fiber to give them a nutritional edge. The products are also lactose-free to make them applicable for consumers who are lactose intolerant. The range includes three 500ml [gut health milk drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biomel-love-your-gut-protein-drinks) in Original, Raspberry and Blueberry flavors, while the 450-gram gut health yogurts come in Original, Strawberry and Blueberry flavors.
