Why Akkermansia Outshines Other Probiotics

​Seven weeks ago, I made the switch to Akkermansia as my probiotic. I’ll admit, I was hesitant to stop taking the one I’d been using for years, worried it might negatively impact my gut health. However, I’m thrilled to say that the change has made a noticeable improvement, and I only wish I had discovered it sooner—especially when my digestion was a constant struggle.
In addition to the positive changes, Akkermansia is also more affordable than traditional probiotics, making it a great option for both my health and my wallet.

WHAT IS AKKERMANSIA:
Akkermansia muciniphilia is a type of bacteria that lives in the mucus layer of the gut, especially the colon. It is one of the most common and abundant bacteria in the human gut microbiome. It can break down mucin, a sugary protein that forms the mucus layer. Akkermansia is considered a "friendly" bacterium that can help manage cholesterol levels and benefit greatly in overall health. 

 AMAZING FACTS & BENEFITS OF AKKERMANSIA: 

• A promising next-generation probiotic due to its natural presence in the gut mucosa, ability to degrade mucus, and its capacity to improve the intestinal barrier function. (heal up Leaky Gut)  
• Many people are low in Akkermansia or have no detectable levels at all!
• It lives in the intestinal mucus layer an is a unique microbe as it uses the mucin (a major component of mucus) as the sole source of carbon and nitrogen for energy. 
• It turns mucin into something incredibly beneficial for gut health- short-chain fatty acids, such as butyrate, which can be used as food by other friendly bacteria in the body.  
• These short-chain fatty acids regulate appetite, increase insulin sensitivity, decrease inflammation in the gut and improve gut barrier integrity.  (prevents leaky gut/inflammation) 
• It's been inversely associated with obesity, diabetes, inflammation and metabolic disorders.

WHAT AKKERMANSIA DOES:

• Most importantly, it improves gut barrier integrity but tightening the junctions.  Meaning, it heals the gut by healing Leaky Gut. 
• Increases butyrate (feeds good bacteria)
• Enhancement of metabolic health (weight loss).
• Reduces inflammation.  Inflammation comes from Leaky Gut.
• Improves glucose tolerance
• Reduces endotoxemia (endotoxins/bad bacteria in the blood that leads to systemic inflammation).
• Modulation of the immune system. 
• Modulation of the Endocannabinoid System. (cell-signaling system that helps regulate your body functions, including sleep and mood, appetite, among others). 
• Anticancer immunotherapy such as anti-PD-1.
