About Lactobacillus plantarum OLL2712 ("MI-2")

It has been reported that MI-2 lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have the function of reducing abdominal fat (total abdominal fat) as well as HbA1c (glycated hemoglobin) in overweight people. This section explains the mechanism by which MI-2 LAB reduces abdominal fat and acts on HbA1c - an important indicator used in blood sugar regulation.
