Yakult makes its way to Colorado, New Mexico

TORRANCE, Calif. A probiotic drink is making its way to the Colorado and New Mexico markets.

Yakult, a citrusy shot-sized beverage aimed to help maintain a healthy digestive system, now is available in such grocery chains as Walmart, Safeway, Albertsons and more.

"In Colorado and New Mexico we will continue to educate customers about probiotics and the importance of a healthy lifestyle, while sampling Yakult at in-store demos and community events," said Masaaki Sunami, Yakult VP marketing and sales. "We believe that once people try our product they will understand the benefits for themselves."
