Are you trying to be funny?


Went to doctor today said I have imbalance of bacteria in stomach meaning bad more than good. Gave me probiotic pills thought drinks will be more effective.

Good brother
one is Made-In-Malaysia, another Made-In-Singapore

However, the probiotics level in both are very low as a health supplement.

Claim to goodness – Cultured milk drink that is good for everybody, everyday.

Unique qualities – Each bottle of Yakult contained 30 Billion of Lactobacillus casei Shirota bacteria. This strain of bacteria has proven to be the strongest compared to other good bacteria and hence it can survive both stomach acid and bile before it reaches our gut.

Preservatives – Contains no preservatives, colorings, stabilizers or food conditioners.

Ingredients – Water, Sugar (Sucrose), Skimmed milk powder, Glucose, Calcium lactate, Permitted flavours, Niacin (Vitamin B3), Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D

Storage instruction – Keep refrigerated below 10 °C

Taste – Yakult tastes very sweet for most adults since each bottle contains 14.6gm of sugar. However, it carries a tinge of sourness which balances the sweetness. Yakult comes in 2 flavors – original Yakult Ace and Yakult Ace Light which is 50% less sugar.

Who will like it – People with sweet tooth will love this cultured drink. Its emphasis on good bacteria and lack of preservatives are appealing qualities to health conscious individuals.


VITAGEN

125ml
RM 4.50 for a pack of 5 bottles*

Vitagen
Claim to goodness – True cultured milk drink which contains both Probiotics and Prebiotics (for vitagen collagen only). Pr0biotics help maintain a healthy digestive system, while Prebiotics promote growth of good bacteria in gut.

Unique qualities – Made from real fruit juice and hence contains 50% less sugar.

Ingredients – Dietary fiber (Inuin & polydextrose), fructose, sucrose, milk solids, glucose, permitted stabilisers, permitted flavourings and lactobacillus cultures (probiotics)

Storage instruction – Keep refrigerated below 4°C

Taste – Lightly sweeten, almost like drinking fruit juice with milk added – each bottle of 125ml contains 10.6gm of sugar. It is available in 4 flavors – milk, grape, apple and orange.

Who will like it – People who prefers lightly sweeten beverage and with more flavors to choose from.

VERDICT: Both products are positioned differently from the type of bacteria, sweetness level and size– Vitagen being less sweet per every 100ml, and size of Yakult is 50% smaller per bottle.

Yakult is first produced by Japanese company.

Vitagen is first produced by Malaysian company.

Both contains Lactobacillus casei believed to help digestive system. However, the one inside Yakult is a strain of Lactobacillus casei created by the scientist Minoru Shirota, thus called Lactobacillus casei Shirota strain.
