Why It Works
Benefits
This yakult probiotic supplement delivers dual-strain support through Yakult's proven cultivation technology.
Supports Comprehensive Gut Health
This supplement delivers two distinct probiotic strains that work in different parts of your digestive system. Lactobacillus casei Shirota primarily supports the small intestine, while Bifidobacterium breve BY targets the large intestine. This dual-action approach provides gut health probiotic coverage across your entire intestinal system.
Strain-specific dual actionDelivers Live Bacteria to Intestines
Through Yakult's proprietary strengthened cultivation technology, both probiotic strains are fortified to survive harsh stomach acid and bile. Unlike regular bacteria that are typically killed during digestion, these strengthened strains reach your intestines alive to deliver their probiotic supplement benefits effectively.
Yakult cultivation technologyConvenient No-Refrigeration Format
Unlike traditional probiotic drinks and yogurts that require cold storage, this lactobacillus probiotic supplement comes in portable aluminum stick sachets. Each sachet contains just 4kcal with reduced sugar content, making it easy to maintain your daily probiotic routine anywhere without refrigeration.

Probiotic Strain Research
LACTOBACILLUS CASEI SHIROTA
Yakult's signature probiotic strain, named after Dr. Minoru Shirota who founded Yakult. This strain has been the focus of Yakult's research for decades and is the same bacterium used in Yakult probiotic drinks consumed by millions worldwide. Through strengthened cultivation, it survives digestive acids to reach the small intestine alive.

The probiotic strain used in Yakult's Milmil products. Like L. casei Shirota, it undergoes strengthened cultivation to survive the harsh digestive environment. B. breve BY primarily works in the large intestine, complementing the small intestine activity of L. casei Shirota for comprehensive intestinal coverage.
