Doctor recommended, Akkermansia is the strain that launched 1,000 articles.

You might have heard of Akkermansia already, as it’s been featured in many publications. The production of Akkermansia is newsworthy because until recently, it was impossible to manufacture outside the body, and what it does inside the body is universally desirable:

  1. 1 Strengthens the gut lining
  2. 2 Supports a healthy weight
  3. 3 Keystone strain for gut health
  4. 4 Supports GLP-1 production

Hear how Akkermansia works, according to doctors.

Akkermansia makes up 1-5% of our gut bacteria, although many of us have less as we age or face metabolic health problems like high blood sugar or fat accumulating around the waist. And it plays a critical role in restoring gut health, which influences overall health.

Akkermansia is the link between the microbiome and metabolism.

Dr. Mark Hyman, MD
"When I was trying to recover from the greatest health crisis of my life, Akkermansia muciniphila played a pivotal role in healing my gut. It’s crucial for optimizing gut barrier function and immune response."
Dr. Steven Gundry, MD
"First identified in 2004, Akkermansia muciniphila—which literally translates to ‘mucus loving’—is a species of bacteria that helps to maintain our gut lining. And until now, it’s never been available."
Jana Davis, MS, RDN, CDCES
"Having the ability to replace Akkermansia and combining it with the right dietary factors has made an incredible difference in both my patients' metabolic and gut health."

Pendulum is the only source for supplemental Akkermansia.

Unlike some other probiotic strains, Akkermansia isn’t present in foods. The only way to increase Akkermansia is to take it directly and/or take daily Pendulum Glucose Control. Of course, once Akkermansia is present, a healthy balanced diet is recommended.

A manufacturing breakthrough from Pendulum.

Akkermansia lives in the gut. It’s an anaerobe, which means it cannot be exposed to oxygen. We had to find a way to manufacture it in an oxygen-free environment, and then at scale. We developed many patents in creating a way to freeze dry Akkermansia, so that the bacteria stayed alive and could be optimally delivered.

Made in the U.S., Akkermansia is exclusively manufactured and available at Pendulum. And it’s been in high demand since it was debuted last year. Join the Akkermansia club and always have a supply.
