IT'S A DELICIOUS DRINKABLE JAPANESE YOGURT! :)🥤😋🤤
Yakult (ヤクルト, Yakuruto) is a sweetened probiotic milk beverage fermented with the bacteria strain Lactobacillus paracasei Shirota. It is sold by Yakult Honsha, based in Tokyo. It is distributed through convenience stores and supermarkets, in single-serving
containers of (depending on market) 65 millilitres (2.3 imp fl oz; 2.2 US fl oz) or 100 millilitres (3.5 imp fl oz; 3.4 US fl oz), often in single-row packs of five or seven.
Ingredients
Yakult ingredients are water, skimmed milk, glucose-fructose syrup, sucrose, and live Lactobacillus casei Shirota bacteria.In 2006, a panel appointed by the Netherlands Nutrition Centre to evaluate a marketing request by Yakult found there to be sufficient
evidence to justify claims that drinking at least one bottle of Yakult per day might help improve bowel movements for people who tend to be constipated, and might help maintain a healthy population of gut flora.
