About Us

With long history in the probiotics bifidobacteria industry, Morinaga Milk possesses strong expertise in the research and development of probiotics bifidobacterial strains that promote human health. Morinaga Milk started research on Human-Residential Bifidobacteria (HRB) in the 1960s, inspired by the fact that bifidobacteria are the predominant bacteria residing in the intestines of breastfed infants. Ever since then, Morinaga Milk has been engaged in research on the safety, functional health benefits, and mechanisms of action of Human-Residential Bifidobacteria (HRB), to better understand their role in maintaining human health.
