Science Behind Akkermansia
What is Akkermansia
Willem M. de Vos.
The discovery of "Akkermansia muciniphila" stems from an in-depth study of the human gut microbe.
The strain was discovered by Professor "Willem M. de Vos.", a microbiologist at Wageningen University in the Netherlands, and his research team.
In 2004, the research team isolated Akkermansia muciniphila from the human gut for the first time and described its properties and functions in detail.After the discovery of the bacterium, scientists gradually realized its important role in gut health and began to study it extensively.
Through follow-up studies, it was found to play an important role in maintaining the integrity of the intestinal mucosa, regulating the immune system and improving metabolic function.
Our scientific research team focuses on the synergistic effect between the various ingredients in the formula, trying to create truly scientific and efficient products.
Our Akkermansia contains 1 billion AFU Akkermansia muciniphila Akk11 per capsule, which is 2-10 times more than many similar products on the market.
Additionally, there is a synergistic effect between 9 billion AFU Lactiplantibacillus plantarum Lp90 and Akk11.
In addition, two natural prebiotics were added: inulin and oligofructose.
How our product works on the Body
Improved Gut Health & Metabolic Health
Akkermansia muciniphila can break down the mucus layer (i.e. mucin) on the
inner wall of the intestine, helping to maintain an appropriate thickness of
mucus. This function is crucial for protecting the intestinal barrier, as
intestinal mucus can prevent harmful microorganisms and toxins from invading
the intestinal wall, reducing the risk of intestinal inflammation and
infection.
By
stimulating intestinal epithelial cells to secrete more mucus, this bacterium
can enhance intestinal barrier function, prevent "intestinal
leakage", and reduce the entry of pathogens and toxins into the
bloodstream.
Studies have found a close association between
Akkermansia muciniphila and glucose metabolism. It can promote the body's
sensitivity to insulin and help control blood sugar levels, especially for
patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity.
This bacterium helps reduce fat accumulation,
improve lipid metabolism, and may prevent or improve obesity and related
metabolic diseases by reducing intestinal inflammation and regulating metabolic
processes in adipose tissue.
