Benefits

• Supports the gut lining.* Akkermansia muciniphila lives in the mucus layer of the intestine and supports a healthy gut barrier.*
• Supports a balanced gut and everyday digestive comfort.*
• Fits a healthy diet and lifestyle routine.*
• Shelf-stable and vegetarian. No refrigeration, no gelatin.

How it works

Akkermansia muciniphila makes its home in the mucus layer that lines the gut, where it supports normal mucus turnover and a healthy gut barrier.* Until recently the strain was very hard to grow and package, which is why most probiotics do not contain it. Ours is a live, microencapsulated strain measured in AFU (active fluorescent units), a count of active cells that suits this strain better than the traditional CFU.

About the formula
Akkermansia muciniphila is a bacterial species found in the gut mucus layer. Researchers are studying its relationship with the gut barrier and metabolic health. Results depend on the strain, preparation, dose, and population studied; research on a different preparation should not be treated as proof of this product’s effects.
Who it's for

• People building a gut-health routine who want the strain most probiotics leave out

What does AFU mean?

AFU stands for active fluorescent units, a cell-count measurement used on this label. AFU and colony-forming units (CFU) use different measurement methods and should not be treated as interchangeable.

Is this a weight-loss or GLP-1 medicine?

No. This is a dietary supplement. It is not a replacement for prescription treatment, and the product has not been shown to produce the effects of a GLP-1 medicine.

How long should I expect to wait for results?

There is no established result timeline for this finished product. A study duration is not a promise of when an individual will notice a change. Discuss your goals with your healthcare professional.

Exploratory human trial

Akkermansia supplementation & metabolic markers

Depommier et al. · Nature Medicine · 2019

Study design
Adults with overweight or obesity and insulin resistance · live or pasteurized preparations · three months
What it found
The pilot study reported improvements in selected metabolic measures, particularly with the pasteurized preparation.

Randomized, placebo-controlled human trial

Live Akkermansia in adults with type 2 diabetes

Zhang et al. · Cell Metabolism · 2025

Study design
58 adults with overweight or obesity and type 2 diabetes · live Akkermansia muciniphila (strain AKK-WST01) or placebo daily, plus routine lifestyle guidance · 12 weeks
What it found
Body weight and HbA1c fell in both groups, with no significant difference between them. In people who started with low gut Akkermansia levels, the strain colonized well and the supplement group had significant reductions in body weight, fat mass, and HbA1c that were not seen with placebo. People who started with high levels showed no significant improvement.

Randomized, placebo-controlled human trial

Pasteurized Akkermansia & weight regain after a diet

Mount et al. · Nature Medicine · 2026

Study design
90 adults with overweight or obesity · 8-week low-calorie diet aiming for at least 8% weight loss, then 24 weeks of a healthy, unrestricted diet with daily pasteurized Akkermansia muciniphila (MucT) or placebo
What it found
The Akkermansia group regained less weight than the placebo group over the 24 weeks (about 1.2 kg vs 3.2 kg), the study’s main measure. Starting Akkermansia levels were linked to how much cardiometabolic markers responded. No serious side effects related to the supplement were reported.

Randomized, placebo-controlled human trial

Pasteurized Akkermansia & insulin sensitivity in metabolic syndrome

Suenaert et al. · Gut Microbes · 2026

Study design
142 adults with metabolic syndrome, with or without prediabetes, in Ireland and Germany · 30 billion cells of pasteurized Akkermansia muciniphila (MucT) or placebo daily · 4 months
What it found
The main measure, whole-body insulin sensitivity, did not differ from placebo. In exploratory analyses, liver insulin sensitivity improved at 3 months in people with prediabetes and in those aged 63 or older, and the rise in the gut hormone GLP-1 after a glucose test was larger than with placebo. People who started with low gut Akkermansia levels had better insulin sensitivity, a larger GLP-1 response, and less trunk fat than placebo.

Randomized, placebo-controlled human trial

Pasteurized Akkermansia & leg strength in older adults

Kang et al. · Nutrients · 2024

Study design
100 adults aged 60 and older · 10 billion cells of pasteurized Akkermansia muciniphila (strain HB05) or placebo daily · 12 weeks
What it found
The Akkermansia group improved more than placebo in peak torque of the left leg extensor muscles, a measure of leg strength, and had higher levels of follistatin, a protein that counteracts the muscle-limiting protein myostatin. No notable safety concerns were reported.
