What is Akkermansia?
In 2004 Akkermansia muciniphila was discovered. Today Akkermansia has changed how we approach gut health. Akkermansia is a unique and novel probiotic strain that is naturally found in your gastrointestinal tract. It helps support the mucus lining of the gut, which helps support your gut lining. Akkermansia accounts for up to 4% of your intestinal bacteria. The most direct way to support Akkermansia levels in your gut is by taking Akkermansia.
Your gut microbiome is an ecosystem that is home to tens of trillions of bacteria—some good, some commensal and some bad. Healthy adult gut microbiomes are both relatively stable and diverse. While a well-balanced gut microbiome supports a healthy body, the opposite is true for a poorly balanced gut microbiome. So what does any of this have to do with Akkermansia? The lining of your intestines is made up of epithelial cells (i.e. the cells that cover the surfaces of bodily organs). These epithelial cells are covered in a slimy mucus layer that is rich in a protein called “mucin.” Akkermansia…loves this mucin!
Akkermansia loves mucin so much, it uses it for energy. This additional “mucin making” is what supports a healthy intestinal wall, which is critical for your health. Benefits of Akkermansia include:
- Strengthens the gut lining
- Supports GLP-1 production, a hormone produced by the gut that helps support a healthy balance between insulin and glucose levels
- Supports a healthy weight
