Lactobacillus casei Shirota is scientifically proven to be the strongest strain among all types of probiotic normally contained in other brands of cultured milk drink. Yakult has the most and the strongest probiotic in a bottle, so why choose Vitagen? Besides, Yakult is totally free of preservative and stabilizer as well as artificial coloring, which explain the reason why Yakult has only one flavor.

Frozen yogurt?
Frozen yogurt got what health benefits?

Digestive Health
Frozen yogurt contains the digestive benefits of probiotics. The health website AskDrSears.com explains that the lactic acid bacteria used to produce yogurt includes Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaris. These bacteria enhance digestive function, reduce allergic reactions and may aid in lactose digestion in individuals with lactose intolerance. Yogurt also helps to decrease symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD.



Cardiovascular Health
Yogurt, including frozen varieties, also helps to maintain and improve heart and blood vessel health by helping to convert fiber to healthy fats that promote good cholesterol levels. This helps to increase levels of healthy cholesterol called high density lipids, or HDL and decrease levels of unhealthy low density lipids, or LDL. The health site "World's Healthiest Foods" notes that this effect can help to decrease the risk of cardiovascular diseases including high cholesterol, high blood pressure and atherosclerosis, or hardening and narrowing of the arteries.

Thanks very much JOKERCHEW your information is very helpful. You reminded me of a guy here who can help me by providing such useful info to me but he's long gone :(.

I just asked the maid to by for me and down 2 bottles hope Yakult can really help me.

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.

I never liked the taste of Vitagen. I remember one time Vitagen salespeople were rather aggressive, knocking on doors.

Yakult for me. Believe in Japanese L Casei Shirota. :cool:
