Please tell me why your anecdotal opinion backed up with no provided evidence counts for anything?
If I could see your totally lean, Tarzan-esque physique, I might be persuaded. If I had known you for decades, then I might be persuaded. But, as a random internet user, your opinion counts for nothing compared to my evidence.
In the UK we have a health service that needs to provide a service to the people at a minimal cost to the taxpayer. It is not like America where the goal is to maximise revenue for shareholders. Therefore, anything that is science and comes out of the NHS is going to make sense.
Let me present to you this study, where they tried to improve matters for people with diseased kidneys, by giving them that disgusting potion you believe in. How did the potion compare with the placebo? Read for yourself:
Probiotics are thought to help restore the natural balance of bacteria in your gut when it's been disrupted by an illness or treatment.
Notice the phrase 'thought to help'. This is not the same as 'helps'. I hope this helps.
What you have with this L Shirota nonsense, is something some Japanese bloke picked out of his arse many decades ago. Since then they have had regular run-ins with advertising standards in the UK, with their health claims always ruled as utter bullshit. However, in 2013, when the Yakult marketing people begged to have their claim that their probiotic magic bacteria make it through the acid bath that is the stomach, the ASA let them have that one, but they still had to drop their stupid adverts for their stupid product.
As for that stupid product, it is made from skimmed milk powder and sugar in an industrial unit somewhere in the Netherlands for distribution across Europe. It is just plastic waste the world doesn't need and a not-even-placebo product that arguably is worse for you than water. I mean, what are you getting with your microplastics?
My suggestion is that you ditch the snake oil and go for 'an apple a day keeps the doctor away'. Try that and you will get all kinds of antioxidants, vitamins and fibre that does have solid research behind it, rather than marketing claims by some stupid Japanese yoghurt company. Apart from anything else, aren't Japanese people lactose intolerant, making the Yakult snake oil pretty toxic in the Japanese home market? Yet you want to believe them?

To quote the NHS on probiotics:
Probiotics are thought to help restore the natural balance of bacteria in your gut when it's been disrupted by an illness or treatment.
