Yakult, Pro Biotic Health Drink


Yakult (ヤクルト, Yakuruto?) is a Japanese probiotic milk-like product made by fermenting a mixture of skimmed milk with a special strain of the bacteria Lactobacillus casei Shirota. Yakult Honsha Co., Ltd. (株式会社ヤクルト本社, Kabushiki-gaisha Yakuruto Honsha?) (TYO: 2267) It was created by Minoru Shirota who graduated from the Medical School of Kyoto University in 1930. In 1935, he started manufacturing and selling Yakult. Official claims state that the name is derived from jahurto, an older form of jogurto, the Esperanto word for "yogurt".

The best and one of the healthiest things you should drink. I recommend this to everyone. Sadly for some countries, buying this drink gets pretty expensive. Imagine paying 7 dollars for a drink of this. That's what the Brits are paying for just for Yakult. Thank God we have our own plant here our country.

Benefits: Ideally the digestive system should contain greater amounts of friendly, beneficial bacteria in order to outnumber those that are potentially harmful. Yakult helps keep the balance between the beneficial and potentially harmful bacteria living in the digestive system.

Factors that can alter this delicate balance are:
• What we eat and drink
• A busy lifestyle
• Stress
• Traveling
• Antibiotics
• The ageing process

Yakult and yogurt are both cultured dairy products made from milk fermented with live bacteria. Yakult is unique because it is made using Lactobacillus casei Shirota strain, not the strains of bacteria used in yogurts. This strain of beneficial bacteria is unique to Yakult. Yakult has been produced for the sole purpose of maintaining a balance of beneficial bacteria in the digestive system. Yogurt is not a substitute for Yakult and vice versa. They complement each other as part of a well-balanced diet.

Yakult is inexpensive when compared to the cost of soft drinks, juices, flavored milks, cappuccinos or alcoholic drinks. So try the drink and gift your body a healthy digestive system.
