Have you ever heard of "Yakult"? It is a probiotic drink which contains Lactobacillus case strain Shirota, a good bacteria that helps our gastrointestinal flora.
In a recent study, it has been proven that daily consumption of "Yakult" helps in maintaining upper respiratory tract health. The study was spearheaded by Professor Michael GLeeson of Loughborough University in the United Kingdom. “This study has resulted in important data that are further evidence of immune benefits associated with drinking Yakult," he said.
However, this study was sponsored by Yakult Honsha Co., Ltd, the manufacturer of Yakult so there might be biased in there.
