Gold Sponsor
Yakult began more than 80 years ago. Dr. Minoru Shirota, who was the founder of Yakult, pursed preventive medicine and succeeded in strengthening and culturing their representative strain “Lactobacillus casei strain Shirota”. He then released an inexpensive, good-tasting fermented milk drink “Yakult” in 1935 so that as many people as possible could benefit from this lactobacillus. Today 40 million bottles of its dairy products are daily consumed in 40 countries and regions across the world. Since its founding, as a pioneer in the field of Probiotics, Yakult has been expanding its operations to food and beverages, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical products that contribute to good health, and publishing many scientific evidences.
