“Yakult”
Is Yakult safe to drink everyday?
Most people believe that the answer is a big YES! Yakult can be enjoyed at any time of the day. We can certainly drink Yakult regularly every day so that Probiotics are always present in our intestines. In the Philippines, I can sometimes buy Yakult in big malls or in any convenience stores. Many people in my country are addicted to this drink. I sometimes don’t understand why it is always sold out in major markets around my city. As I try to explore the reason behind its popularity in my country, Yakult is known for its powerful dose of live cultures that are useful to improve digestion and also it is indeed beneficial in boosting our immune system and skin health. People nowadays are pretty conscious about their health due to the pandemic. That leads us to think that Yakult is also essential in our daily lives.
Originally, Yakult is a Japanese sweetened probiotic milk beverage fermented with the bacteria strain Lactobacillus paracasei Shirota. It is sold by Yakult Honsha, based in Tokyo. Surprisingly, the Philippines is Yakult’s fourth-largest overseas market after China, Indonesia, and Mexico. Since the beginning of the pandemic, the demand for this product has skyrocketed.
During my childhood days, this video was Yakult’s phenomenal advertisement. As far as I have remembered, the Television Commercial Air Date: From February 2008 to June 2011, it really gave me nostalgia when I saw this video again.
“Okay, ka ba tiyan?”
ヤクルトは毎日飲んでも大丈夫なのか？
ほとんどのひとは、大丈夫だと信じているでしょう。ヤクルトはいつだって飲むことに喜ばれています。プロバイオティクスが胃腸に良い働きをするために毎日ヤクルトを飲むことはいいこととされています。
わたしの場合、大きなモールやコンビニに立ち寄ったときのよく買います。フィリピン人はヤクルト好きの人が多いです。そして、いつも思おうことがあります、「何で私の家のまわりのショップではいつも売り切れなんだろう..」って。
ヤクルトの人気の隠された理由を調べたところ、消化の吸収を助けたり、免疫システムや肌の健康を維持するのに役立つそうです。最近では、パンデミックの影響もあり健康についての意識が高まっています。その意識が、わたしたちがヤクルトを飲もうとする理由に繋がっているのでしょう。
ヤクルトは日本の東京に本拠点があり、実はフィリピンは中国、インドネシア、メキシコについで４番目に大きい市場です。パンデミックが始まって以来、この需要は急拡大しています。
