Akkermansia muciniphila is a naturally occurring bacterium that lives in the mucus layer of your gut, where it helps support the gut barrier. Over the past decade, it has become one of the most researched microbes in gut and metabolic health. [Read the full guide to Akkermansia.]

The Metagenics form of Akkermansia is the clinically trialled next-generation postbiotic. The form of Akkermansia in this product is different: it is pasteurised (gently heat-treated), which makes it a postbiotic, meaning non-living cells that still support metabolic health. The pasteurised form is the one used in the published clinical research, and it is what sets this product apart from traditional live probiotics. [Learn how postbiotics differ from probiotics.]

Your gut is in constant conversation with the rest of your body. Cells lining the gut release natural messengers that help control blood sugar, signal when you're full, and support how you use energy from food.¹ A healthy gut lining also works as a protective barrier, keeping unwanted substances like foreign molecules where they belong. When that barrier weakens and your gut bacteria can fall out of balance, it can trigger inflammation.² Over time, this low-grade inflammation may affect how well your body handles blood sugar and fat, which is why gut health and metabolic health are so closely linked.³
