Yakult, the world's leading probiotic beverage, originated in Japan in 1935 and is now available in 40 countries globally. At Yakult, our mission is to promote health and happiness by harnessing the power of probiotics, particularly the L. paracasei strain Shirota, found in our iconic small bottles. Each bottle contains around 8 billion live and active good bacteria that can help maintain digestive balance and overall wellness when consumed daily.

Our commitment to science and research drives us to continually explore the vast potential of probiotics for human health. Yakult collaborates with medical professionals and researchers worldwide to pioneer new applications for probiotics, leading to significant medical breakthroughs such as the development of the Campto Injection for colon cancer.

Dr. Minoru Shirota's vision of a healthy intestinal tract for longevity inspired the creation of Yakult, making probiotics accessible to all. Join us in our journey to spread the message of proactive healthcare and the benefits of probiotics, one bottle at a time.
