“Defenders of Health” –who? Yakult Ladies, that’s who! A befitting title to recognize their zealousness in bringing a time-tested health-enhancing product to the homes of as many Filipino families as they can reach.
On the occasion of Yakult Dealers’ 46 years in the service of the Filipino people, Yakult is honoring its indefatigable horde of ladies who brave both the rain and the heat of the sun as it adopts “YAKULT LADIES: Defenders of Health” as its 46th National Dealers Convention theme. These ladies have been marching on most of the streets of the urban and rural areas of the Philippines-Luzon Visayas, and Mindanao-to bring a product that will help families enjoy a healthy life.
YAKULT Ladies are known for their perseverance to reach as many households as possible with their offer of a reliable supply of an internationally-recognized health- enhancing product to help protect as many families as possible from certain diseases. The product that they bring has been around in the Philippines since 1978 but it has been circulating in several countries after it was successfully launched in Japan in the year 1935 by Yakult Honsha Co. Ltd. of Japan with Dr. Minoru Shirota at the helm.
These Yakult Ladies in previous years needed to zealously explain the health-benefits of Yakult to people encountered on the streets or to families who opened the door of their homes to them. In more recent years, there has been less and less explaining needed as Yakult, over the stretch of time that it had been around, has gained popularity as a trusted probiotic for human health protection. Indeed, the people must have experienced and proven how Yakult had been a handy part of their daily lives in preserving their best wealth: HEALTH. Yakult Ladies had been bringing this time-tested product right at their doorsteps. So, with less effort now that Yakult is already widely recognized for its health value as a trusted probiotic, these ladies are able to fulfill their role as “Defenders of Health.”
Yakult, now a time-tested probiotic, is used worldwide after it emerged from a reputable laboratory in Japan 94 years ago. Yakult contains a beneficial bacteria strain, “Lacticaseibacillus paracasei strain Shirota (LcS)” named after Dr. Shirota. It now has a long track record as a pioneering preventive medicine which has more than proven the great health advantage of the use of probiotics worldwide, with prominent operations in countries in Asia, South America, North America, Europe, as well as Australia and New Zealand.
