Widely popular in Japan, Yakult's Y1000 expands its range in Singapore to support better gut health
SINGAPORE, Oct. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Yakult Singapore, well-loved for its premium probiotic cultured drinks, has introduced Y1000, its most concentrated probiotic drink to date. Containing over 100 billion live probiotics per bottle, Y1000 expands Yakult's probiotic range in Singapore to support a healthy gut.
Alongside Yakult Ace Light® and Yakult Gold®, Y1000 reinforces the brand's long-standing commitment to science-backed innovation, helping Singaporeans of all ages enjoy healthier lifestyles. Y1000 has also received international recognition, winning the Food Category Gold Award at the DIME Trend Awards and the X Trend Award in 2022, underscoring the product's popularity among Japanese consumers.
First introduced in Japan, Y1000 is part of the Yakult 1000 series[1], which has been selling 3 million bottles a day in Japan. The health benefits of Y1000 build on 90 years of extensive probiotic research and contain Yakult's unique Lacticaseibacillus paracasei strain Shirota™ (LcS), a probiotic strain specially cultivated to survive digestion and reach the intestines alive. There, it supports the growth of beneficial bacteria, reduces harmful bacteria, aids in digestion, and helps maintain a healthy digestive system.
Keeping a balanced and healthy gut is essential for overall wellbeing and vitality. It not only supports proper nutrient absorption and the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin, which influence our energy and mood, but also boosts the body's natural defences to better handle stress, irregular sleep, and busy days. Good gut health can also reduce the risk of conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), which affects one in five Singaporeans.
"Singaporeans have trusted Yakult since 1979. This year, as the nation celebrates SG60 and the Yakult brand marks 90 years of heritage, we are proud to continue this journey with the launch of Y1000 in Singapore - our most concentrated probiotic drink yet. Imported directly from Japan. It offers Singaporeans more ways to enjoy Yakult daily, with the same science and quality they trust," said Sunami Masaaki, Managing Director, Yakult Singapore.
With the introduction of Y1000, Yakult now offers Singaporeans an expanded range of probiotic choices:
- Yakult Ace Light®: A lighter version of Yakult with 30 billion LcS per bottle, 30% fewer calories, and sweetened with Stevia. With zero calories, it is ideal for those who prefer a lighter taste and more probiotic support for their digestive system.
- Yakult Gold®: Formulated with less sugar and fortified with vitamin D, it contains 10 billion LcS per bottle and was awarded the Healthier Choice Symbol.
- Y1000: Containing over 100 billion LcS per bottle, it is Yakult's most concentrated probiotic drink to date.
From 1 October 2025, Y1000 will be available individually in selected FairPrice supermarkets and Japanese supermarkets such as Isetan Scotts and MEIDI-YA at Millenia Walk and Great World City, at S$3.50 per bottle.

YAKULT SINGAPORE LAUNCHES Y1000: ITS MOST CONCENTRATED PROBIOTIC DRINK
DUBAI, UAE, Jan. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Mantle, the high-performance distribution and liquidity layer bridging traditional finance (TradFi), real-world assets (RWAs) and on-chain liquidity, today announced the integration of Infinex, a comprehensive cross-chain DeFi aggregation platform featuring a passkey-first wallet, unified portfolio management, and integrated trading capabilities.
The deployment of Infinex on Mantle significantly enhances access to Mantle-based assets and decentralized applications, offering users a streamlined, intuitive interface to discover liquidity, manage portfolios, and execute DeFi strategies seamlessly across multiple blockchain networks.
By expanding its presence on Infinex's marketplace, Mantle continues to advance its mission of making decentralized finance (DeFi) more accessible, efficient, and scalable, further empowering developers, traders, and liquidity providers with frictionless access to a growing on-chain ecosystem.
Why This Integration Matters
Infinex aggregates liquidity from multiple protocols and simplifies advanced DeFi actions, including swaps, bridging, and yield opportunities all into a single, unified experience. This removes the need for users to navigate fragmented interfaces, making it easier to engage with Mantle-native assets and applications.
The integration strengthens Mantle's on-chain reach and interoperability, supporting broader ecosystem adoption as users increasingly seek seamless, cross-protocol access to DeFi services.
A Unified Trading Experience on Mantle
As Mantle continues to develop its modular Layer-2 ecosystem designed to unlock capital efficiency and institutional-grade utility for DeFi while making real-world finance flow seamlessly, integrations like Infinex delivers immediate, real-world value to users and partners alike.
Through Infinex, users can now discover, access, and deploy Mantle-native assets alongside a wide range of DeFi capabilities, including:
- Seamless Swaps: Executing token exchanges with optimized routing for the best available prices and minimal slippage.
- Integrated Bridging: Facilitating cross-chain asset transfers directly within the platform, removing the need for users to navigate separate, often confusing, bridging interfaces.
- Optimized Yield Opportunities: Presenting and automating access to various yield-generating strategies, including staking, lending, and liquidity provision, all from a single dashboard.
This unified experience lowers barriers to participation while enhancing liquidity flow and user engagement across Mantle's growing DeFi landscape.
Strategic Importance for Mantle's Ecosystem
The Infinex integration expands Mantle's visibility beyond its native ecosystem and facilitates deeper, more efficient liquidity flows across chains. As Mantle continues to attract a diverse range of DeFi builders, from decentralized exchanges and autonomous yield tools to AI-powered interfaces and RWA platforms, broader access through cross-chain aggregators plays a key role in driving on-chain activity, volume, and user adoption.
This milestone supports Mantle's long-term strategy to build a robust, accessible, and high-performance ecosystem that serves both sophisticated DeFi users and the next wave of mainstream participants.

Mantle positions itself as the premier distribution layer and gateway for institutions and TradFi to connect with on-chain liquidity and access real-world assets, powering how real-world finance flows.
