Akkermansia Plus

Akkermansia Plus is a gut-health supplement featuring pasteurized Akkermansia muciniphila MucT, a postbiotic, along with pomegranate extract. The formula is designed to provide targeted support for a healthy intestinal environment and gut barrier, which benefit metabolism and weight management.*

We test every ingredient in Akkermansia Plus for identity, purity, and potency to ensure every ingredient and finished product meets our strict quality standards at the time of manufacture and up to the product’s expiration date. This includes checking for contaminants like heavy metals, pesticides, and harmful microbes. When a product carries an NSF Certified for Sport® mark, it signifies that the product has been tested for compliance with label claims and to ensure the absence of nearly 300 substances banned by major athletic organizations.

Akkermansia muciniphila is a naturally occurring bacterium found in the human gastrointestinal tract. It resides primarily in the mucus layer of the intestine and has become an important focus of microbiome research because of its relationship with intestinal and metabolic health.*

Unlike a traditional probiotic that contains live microorganisms, the patented MucT ingredient in Akkermansia Plus has been pasteurized, meaning the bacterial cells have been heat-treated and are no longer alive. These non-living microorganisms and their cellular components can still interact with the body, which is why they are referred to as a postbiotic.

Pomegranate is naturally rich in polyphenols, plant compounds recognized for their antioxidant activity. Pomegranate polyphenols and their metabolites are also of interest for their interactions with the gut microbiome. Pairing pomegranate extract with pasteurized Akkermansia muciniphila provides complementary, microbiome-focused support.*

The benefits of a microbiome-focused supplement don’t necessarily depend on the microorganism remaining alive. Pasteurized Akkermansia muciniphila MucT provides bacterial components that can interact with the intestinal environment without requiring a live organism to survive manufacturing, storage, and passage through the digestive tract.

Akkermansia Plus provides a different approach to microbiome support than a traditional probiotic because it supplies a pasteurized postbiotic rather than live microorganisms. Whether to combine it with probiotics, prebiotics, or other supplements depends on an individual’s needs. Individuals taking medications or managing a health condition should consult their health-care practitioner before beginning a new supplement regimen.

Everyone’s body is different, and therefore, the timeframe can vary depending on your individual health, lifestyle, and type of supplements you’re taking. Supplements work gradually to support long-term health.
