The original probiotic drink was invented by a Japanese medical doctor called Dr. Minoru Shirota and was designed to take in the human-friendly bacterium that could reach the gut alive and impart tremendous health benefits.

Saddened by the death of children caused by infections due to inadequate hygiene and poverty in Japan in the early 1900s, he emphasized preventing diseases with the power of probiotics rather than curing diseases and infections after they occur.

He embodied his ideal by launching the SHIROTA strain as a food in the market so that as many people as possible could get the benefit of the probiotic bacterium while enjoying the delicious taste.

Through more than 90 years of research, the SHIROTA strain has been scientifically proven to help improve digestion and build immunity when consumed regularly.

Probiotics are essential as they increase the good bacteria in the gut and reduce the harmful disease-causing bacteria. By doing so, they ensure better digestion of food, proper absorption of nutrients, and stronger immunity to reduce the risk of infections.

A decrease in probiotic bacteria in the gut, coupled with a poor lifestyle, can lead to poor gut health and weak immunity, manifesting as fatigue, poor growth and development, malnutrition, and repeated infections. To keep the gut healthy, it is essential to introduce probiotics into the daily diet through scientifically validated probiotic products.
