My best friend has hyperlipidemia. Today, I bought Yakult, and she also wants to drink it. Is it safe for people with hyperlipidemia to consume Yakult?

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Pan Yongyuan
Patients with hyperlipidemia may consume Yakult in moderation, as each 100 mL of Yakult contains only 0.15 g of fat—a relatively low fat content. Thus, patients may drink a small amount of Yakult, but daily intake should not exceed 100 mL. Yakult contains a high concentration of live lactic acid bacteria, which aids digestion and helps maintain intestinal health.
