Yakult Australia

Yakult is proudly Australian made, from the finest ingredients. Yakult Australia Pty. Ltd. commenced production on 22 January 1994. Australia was the first English speaking country chosen to launch Yakult due to its close proximity to Asia. Another reason was Australia’s increasing interest in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Yakult is a fermented milk drink that contains a very high concentration of a unique, beneficial bacterium called Lactobacillus casei Shirota strain. The Shirota strain was named in honour of our founder, Dr.Shirota and is exclusive to Yakult. It is pronounced as follows: Lack-toe-bass-ill-us case-e-i Shirota strain.

Each one of us has around 100 trillion bacteria in our intestines. Some of these are beneficial and some are potentially harmful. To work efficiently our digestive system needs a healthy balance where the number of beneficial bacteria outnumber those that are potentially harmful.

The unique beneficial bacteria in Yakult are strong enough to survive the journey through the gastric juices to reach the small intestine alive, where they help maintain an ideal balance of beneficial bacteria. Each 65ml bottle contains 6.5 billion of these highly acid resistant bacteria, which are exclusive to Yakult.
