Yakult

We have more than a special relationship with guts in our house. Out of four, three sets of intestines are healthy, the other one exists, thanks to the affects of too many years smoking, in a drastically reduced form. In an effort to get us to keep hold of what we have and she now lacks, my sweet darling partner has suggested we all take steps to improve the general health of our bowels. To this end she has recommended, nay almost insisted, that we drink...stuff. Either pretty, white, sweet tasting er...stuff made by the French and flavoured with tasty berries and fruits of the field or little bottles of brown, sweet 'n' sour tasting milk product stuff, ...  Read the complete review

I'm quite good at eating healthy food due to being diabetic, and really do try to eat yogurts regularly but somehow fail. When I worked full time PC (pre-children) I used to take a packed lunch (made by my own fair hands) and this included a yogurt which I always ate and enjoyed. However, since reducing my working hours down to nil I find I just can't eat a yogurt at home for some reason...so I have recently been buying these little bottles of miracle juice known as Yakult. So what are they?~ Okay, here's the technical bit: Yakult contains a bacteria called Lactobacillus Casei. Bacteria? Yes, but this is Good bacteria what your body needs to make your ...  Read the complete review

Yakult a probiotic drink that comes originally from Japan and consists of fermented milk containing the well advertised lactobacillus. When is branded as they healthy bacteria that keep you guts healthy. The bottles come in packs of one a day bottles that are about 2 inches in height and only really consist of one mouthful a little like taking a shot when drinking them.

The flavour is not really ...  Read the complete review

I am not a breakfast person. The smell of anything cooked before 11am makes me heave, which is bad news when you live with a guy that thinks it’s fine to make fish curries at 7 am. In order to have something to get me going before I stagger bleary eyed out of the house each morning I’m forever trying breakfast replacement products, you know the sort of thing, cereal bars, various kinds of yougurty stuff and little bottles of live bacteria. A week or so ago, I was picking up a few bits in the corner shop and was looking for some Actimal, as I’d been favouring this for a while and had finished off my last bottle that morning. I scanned the shelves, high and low ...  Read the complete review

I'm a sickly child, and since getting chronic fatigue syndrome about 7 years ago I've tried and tested all the health regimes and products and alternative medicines. Although I wouldn't exactly describe Yakult as a medicine, it's certainly publicised as a miracle cure for IBS and a range of other internal complaints. You would think, indeed, that it would be worth the rather extortionate amout of cash you have to part with to get seven little bottles of the stuff. Unfortunately, I've never experienced any effect from these, good or bad. Which is a shame, because the whole premise is so promising and exciting - drink this little bottle and you will feel ...  Read the complete review
