Yakult is a fermented milk drink that contains a very high concentration of a unique, beneficial bacterium called Lactobacillus casei Shirota strain. This bacteria was named after Dr Shirota and is exclusive to Yakult. Each one of us has around 100 trillion bacteria in our intestines. Some of these are beneficial and some are potentially harmful to our health. To work efficiently our digestive system needs a healthy balance of beneficial and potentially harmful bacteria.
