Yakult Danone India Pvt Ltd, a leading global probiotic brand, has announced the launch of Yakult Light Mango Flavour, an exciting new addition to their product lineup. This new variant retains the unique probiotic, Lactobacillus casei Shirota (SHIROTA strain), offering the same health benefits as the original Yakult.

The launch event featured Bollywood actress Sanya Malhotra, Takashi Ariyoshi, Minister and Deputy Chief of Mission of the Embassy of Japan in India, Eiji Amano, Managing Director of Yakult Danone India Pvt Ltd, and Dr. Neerja Hajela, Head of Science and Regulatory Affairs.

Yakult Light Mango Flavour, like its predecessor, contains 650 crores of SHIROTA strain probiotics. This probiotic, developed by Japanese medical doctor Dr. Minoru Shirota in the early 1900s, was designed to combat infections caused by poor hygiene and poverty. Dr. Shirota's pioneering work aimed at preventing diseases through probiotics, rather than treating them post-infection.

With over 90 years of research, the SHIROTA strain has been scientifically proven to enhance digestion and boost immunity. The introduction of Yakult Light Mango Flavour aims to bring the health benefits of probiotics to more people in India, combining a beloved national fruit flavor with proven probiotic benefits.
