Akkermansia muciniphila Supplements

Did you know that there's a tiny organism living in your gut that actually eats mucus?

Sounds gross, right?

But the Akkermansia muciniphila is actually pretty important for maintaining a healthy gut.

Not only does it contribute to healthy mucus production, but it also supports a thicker gut lining which is critical to prevent leaky gut and inflammation.

And here's the cool part: when it eats mucus, it turns it into short-chain fatty acids that fuel other important cells and bacteria in your gut (which can be involved with mucus creation from "goblet cells" in the intestinal lining!).

So next time you feel a little grossed out about mucus-eating bacteria, remember that they're actually doing some pretty important work!

Discover more details and research behind Akkermansia muciniphila - and how to support it directly as well as indirectly with specific prebiotic and polyphenol components in diet and supplements
