Strained yogurt with about twice the protein of regular yogurt, plus calcium and live cultures — a versatile base for meals and snacks.
Greek yogurt pairs high protein for muscle maintenance with calcium for bone support — two priorities as estrogen declines after menopause. Choosing an unsweetened version keeps added sugar down while the protein aids fullness. Look for "live and active cultures" if you want the probiotics. It supports a bone- and protein-adequate diet; it isn't a treatment for osteoporosis or gut conditions.
Food supports overall health — it doesn't treat or cure any condition. Talk to your clinician about symptoms, supplements, or a diagnosis.
It's higher in protein because it's strained, which helps with fullness and muscle maintenance. Regular yogurt is still nutritious and often a bit higher in calcium per serving.
