Lactococcus lactis NCDO 2118
Lactococcus lactis NCDO 2118 is a research-stage strain notable for its capacity to produce gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neuroactive compound, and for its characterization in genomic studies. Animal studies have examined this strain in colitis models, blood pressure regulation in hypertensive rats, and alcohol preference behavior, in relation to its GABA production. All available evidence is in vitro or animal-based; no human clinical trials have been published for this strain. These are research topics, not findings; the papers do not establish that this strain treats or prevents any condition.
