Science and gut health has always been at the heart of the Yakult company since the microbiologist Dr Shirota became the first in the world to successfully select and cultivate a strain of lactic acid bacteria, known as Lacticaseibacillus paracasei Shirota, back in 1935. Today, Yakult’s commitment to science endures, as we support and fund independent medical and scientific research worldwide.
