Yakult's unique Lactobacillus casei strain Shirota (friendly bacteria) have been proven to reach the intestines alive in sufficient numbers, helping to top up levels of essential bacteria. Yakult's bacteria support the work of 'good' bacteria and help to discourage the growth of harmful bacteria. Good bacteria in the body help build a strong immune system, protecting against diseases. Yakult can be enjoyed by everyone, young or old, as part of a healthy balanced diet everyday.
