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.
