Our Story
We believe everyone deserves to enjoy happiness and wellbeing. And after 85 years, we’ve learnt that a little bit of knowledge about wellbeing goes a very long way.

We really do live and breathe science. Right now, hundreds of Yakult scientists are investigating how L. casei Shirota and the field of microbiology could be even more helpful to the world. Discover what our scientists are up to!
Our social commitment
It’s no small dream but we want to do all we can to make life that bit better for people and communities around the world! We’re proud to work with organisations today that align with the principles of our Japanese founder, the scientist Dr Shirota. Here are just a few!
How do we make Yakult?
Our mission is to help create a happier world through bacteria – one little bottle at a time. Since the first little bottle was made, our process has changed somewhat but our purpose has remained the same.
