Do you know that Yakult is good for your gut health and immune system?

In 1930 Dr. Minoru Shirota, a Japanese scientist from the faculty of medicine in Kyoto University, was the first in the world to isolate and culture a probiotic strain which reached the intestines alive in large numbers and imparted health benefits to the host. He used this strain to make Yakult, a fermented milk drink, so as to reach the benefits of the strain to people at large.

Dr. MINORU SHIROTA

Microbiologist and Founder (1899-1982)

Dr. Minoru Shirota was born in 1899 in Japan when people suffered from infectious diseases. He believed that “Prevention is better than cure” and “A healthy intestine leads to a long life”. After long years’ research in the laboratory, he isolated LcS , in 1930, from more than 300 lactic acid bacteria.

LcS helps improve the functioning of the digestive system and helps build immunity. In 1935, he developed the probiotic fermented milk drink “Yakult” with LcS and started to market it in Japan. Now more than 40 million people around the globe enjoy drinking it everyday.

The flagship product Yakult launched in India in 2008 that contains over 6.5 billion beneficial live bacteria Lactobacillus casei strain Shirota (LcS) which have proven health benefits. It helps improve digestion and helps build Immunity. It has been scientifically proven to be safe and effective.
