GLP-1 agonist drugs are about 100 times stronger than probiotics that stimulate GLP-1, which is why the drugs have more side effects like nausea and muscle loss.

Studies show an association between higher levels of Akkermansia and individuals who live the longest in good health.

Shifts in the gut microbiome during pregnancy to absorb more calories can fail to revert, potentially making post-pregnancy weight loss difficult.

The combination of Akkermansia muciniphila, Clostridium butyricum, and Bifidobacterium infantus works synergistically to support the body's natural release of GLP-1.

Low levels of the gut bacteria Akkermansia are directly linked to low levels of the short-chain fatty acid butyrate, which is a fuel for gut cells.

Pendulum's probiotics are housed in an acid-resistant, delayed-release capsule to protect the anaerobic bacteria, so you should not break it open into a smoothie.

In a study, the Pendulum Glucose Control probiotic reduced glucose spikes by 33% even in patients who were already taking metformin.

You can specifically increase your levels of Akkermansia by consuming polyphenols, which is why Pendulum offers a polyphenol booster product.

Akkermansia helps maintain the gut lining by consuming degraded mucin and stimulating cells to produce fresh mucin, which can help with leaky gut.
