Looked at a actimel (https://www.actimel.co.uk/faq_about https://www.actimel.co.uk/faq_about) and yakult (https://www.yakult.co.uk/ https://www.yakult.co.uk/) and was surprised by how little they attribute to the "good bacteria". Yakult promises that: is scientifically proven to reach the gut alive (!)
