Yakult is a pro-biotic drink from Japan. The Japanese physician and microbiologist, Dr. Minoru Shirota, who was convinced that a natural method of boosting intestinal health and protecting people from disease must exist, and set out to find it.
Miracle Findings
Dr. Minoru research led him to a strain of good bacteria, which is today called the Lactobacillus. It was used to produce an appetizing cultured milk drink and the first bottle of Yakult hit the shelves in Japan in 1935. Today, Yakult is consumed daily by twenty six million people in thirty countries.
Supplementing our diet with Yakult stops the growth of harmful bacteria, protects us from infection, helps digestion and absorption of food, produces vitamins and stimulates the immune system.
Yakult is beneficial for everyone – from three month old babies to the elderly. The natural intestinal flora of babies below the age of three months are not yet matured, so this drink is not suitable for them. Yakult’s consumers are those who are concerned about their health and discerning about quality.

The Science of Pro-Biotic
Pro-Biotic are live, good bacteria, which when consumed in sufficiently high numbers can improve the balance of our intestinal flora. There are more than four hundred types of microorganisms in the intestine. Some of these bacteria are good for your health, many are harmless, and others are downright bad.
To stay healthy, we need a balance where the good bacteria outnumber the harmful bacteria. Stress, an unbalanced diet, medications, inflections and the aging process can all upset our intestinal balance, exposing us to problems like constipation, diarrhea and a weak immune system. Long-term, we could more prone cancer.
To help our intestinal health, the bacteria have to withstand our stomach acid and bile and reach our intestines alive. Most Bacteria in food are neutralized in our stomachs. Yakult founder’s years of research pinpointed the Dr. Minoru strain as one of the strongest strains of lactobacillus, with a very high survival rate in the stomach.
Once it reaches the intestines, it multiples and produces lactic acid, which reduces the growth of harmful bacteria and promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria.

Nice article. I just got some of this stuff last week and it’s delicious. Not sure if it’s making me any healthier yet, seeing as I’ve only had it twice so far, but if it’s supposed to be all that good for me… I’ll keep drinking it! Tastes great, so why not?

Thanks for the informative article.
By the way, my son really like Yakult and drink it take 5x a day. Is there any bad effects if you take to much like 5x a day?

Ummm… Well,… Im not a expert or anything but i think its bad cuz I think 1 a day is quite sufficient and anything good would become bad if you drink it excessively.

It’s good to see articles about natural health. My only disagreement is that babies under 1 year old should not be given yogurt because the healthy bacteria is destructive before that age. Is this product different from yogurt?

LcS was originally isolated from human feces at Yakult Central Institute for Microbiological Research (Tokyo, Japan). LcS cells were cultured for 24 h at 37°C in MRS medium (Difco Laboratories, Detroit, Mich.)

This Yakult not look like original japanese Yakult
By package(bottle) all characters except alphabets, are KANJI,
but not belongs to us, Japanese. I think they are from either China or Taiwan.
