The bacteria making up our intestinal flora play a vital role in the digestive system and without them, our digestive system would not function correctly. Factors such as diet, stress, ageing and antibiotics may upset its balance. Many foods can help to improve the balance of bacteria in our digestive system.
Probiotics are foods that contain live beneficial bacteria that helps to improve the overall balance of bacteria in the digestive system. The majority of probiotic bacteria used in food production are lactic acid bacteria such as species of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria. Yakult contains Lactobacillus casei Shirota strain, a strain found only in our product. Foods containing beneficial bacteria have been available for a long time overseas. However, probiotics are a new concept to Australians.
Probiotics are found in a number of different sources including fermented milk drinks (such as Yakult), yoghurts, capsules and powders. They are available at supermarkets and health food stores throughout the country.
There are approximately 6.5 billion bacteria in each bottle of Yakult on the day of production. Provided the product is stored correctly, this number is consistent throughout the product shelf life. That means that Yakult contains sufficient bacteria which are proven to reach the intestines alive.
