Soy milk yogurt, which has recently been in the spotlight as a health food, has been raised as a possibility of catching colds early.
Japanese food company Poka Sapporo claimed in an experiment report released on the 8th that people who usually consume soy milk yogurt have relatively milder symptoms and faster healing times when they catch a cold.
The Poka Sapporo research team published a research report in 2021 showing that fermented soy milk improves various immune indicators in people.

The Poka Sapporo research team came to this conclusion in an experiment involving 34 healthy adult men and women aged 22 to 59 years. The research team divided the subjects into two groups, A and B, and had only group A eat 100g of soy milk yogurt per day for four consecutive weeks.
Afterwards, the research team collected blood and saliva from all groups A and B and looked at changes in immune indicators. As a result, the group that ate duyo yogurt showed notable activation of NK cells (Natural Killer cells). NK cells are white blood cells that fight not only viruses but also cancer cells. They select and kill bad cells that have infiltrated the human body and are considered an indicator of the immune system.
An official from the research team said, “The effectiveness of soy milk yogurt in preventing colds has been confirmed in several experiments in the past,” and “When group A subjects caught a cold, they were at the same level as group B in all cold symptoms, such as general fatigue, fever, runny nose, stuffy nose, sneezing, and sore throat.” “There was a clear difference,” he explained.

In a 2021 research report, the Poka Sapporo research team claimed that fermented soy milk, such as soy milk yogurt, affects various immune indicators. Much attention was paid to their claims that soy milk yogurt alleviates cold symptoms and shortens the time to complete recovery.
A person in charge of the experiment said, “Soy milk yogurt is not a miracle drug that can dramatically change the condition of a person with a cold,” but added, “As the experiment confirmed its effectiveness to a certain extent, it may be a good idea to develop the habit of eating soy milk yogurt in preparation for the season when colds are prevalent.” “I don’t know,” he said.
