About the brand ❤️
Yakult is a Japanese probiotic milk beverage developed in 1935 by microbiologist Dr. Minoru Shirota, who cultivated a beneficial strain of Lacticaseibacillus casei Shirota to support gut health. The drink is produced and marketed by Yakult Honsha Co., Ltd., a Tokyo-based company that has grown into a global leader in probiotic and functional foods. With simple ingredients and a distinctive small bottle, Yakult became popular in Japan and expanded internationally through factories, distribution networks, and its iconic “Yakult ladies,” who deliver the drink door-to-door in many countries. Today, Yakult products are sold in more than 40 countries, reaching millions of consumers daily and forming part of a broader portfolio that includes beverages, health products, and related research initiatives. The company actively promotes scientific research into probiotics and maintains a presence in markets across Asia, the Americas, Europe, and Oceania, reflecting its long history of innovation and global expansion.
