Akkermansia Probiotic
In 2004 — the same year that smartphones came out —Akkermansia muciniphila was discovered. Today, similar to how Smartphones have changed how we communicate — 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 directly interacts with the gut lining and helps regulate the mucus lining of the gut, which helps maintain your gut lining*.
Pendulum Akkermansia holds a patented strain of Akkermansia muciniphila; it serves as one of the unique strains discovered through high-resolution DNA sequencing, unavailable anywhere else.
In healthy people, Akkermansia accounts for up to 4% of your intestinal bacteria. The most direct way to increase Akkermansia levels in your gut is by taking either Pendulum Akkermansia.

How does Akkermansia support your health?
Your gut microbiome is an ecosystem that is home to tens of trillions of bacteria—some good 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 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. The more mucin that Akkermansia eats, the more it encourages epithelial cells to make additional mucin. This additional “mucin making” is what strengthens your intestinal wall*, which is critical for your health.
Akkermansia Probiotic Benefits can include:
a) maintaining and repairing gut lining* and
b) stimulating GLP-1*, a hormone produced by the gut, which helps maintain a healthy balance between insulin and glucose levels.

So why is Akkermansia so hard to find?
Akkermansia is hard to find because it is an anaerobic strain that needs to be grown in an oxygen-free environment (like your gut). This makes Akkermansia unique, as most probiotics on shelves can tolerate oxygen.
How do we keep our Akkermansia alive? Our enteric capsule is acid-resistant, meaning it is tough enough to get through the very acidic stomach, through the small intestines, and into the large intestines where it can do its job.
What’s so special about Akkermansia’s capsule?
Akkermansia's enteric coated capsule is acid-resistant, meaning it is tough enough to get through the very acidic stomach, through the small intestines, and into the large intestines where it can do its job.
Who can take Akkermansia?
Studies have shown that Akkermansia is well tolerated and generally supports gut, skin and immune health.
Akkermansia is in 3,000+ science publications
Akkermansia has been gaining traction within the scientific and medical communities as more discoveries are made regarding the benefits of this novel strain. With studies highliting improved metabolic health during a dietary intervention in obesity, it’s key gatekeeper role with the intestinal mucosa & anti-inflammatory properties to name a few.
