The Science Behind Akkermansia

Where your transformation begins—starting in the gut.

At Akkermy, we believe real change starts from within. That’s why we crafted our signature probiotic around Akkermansia muciniphila—a next-generation gut strain with powerful benefits for metabolism, digestion, and healthy weight.

Backed by over 1,000 published studies, Akkermansia isn’t just another wellness trend. It’s a daily ritual rooted in science, designed to help you reconnect with your body and feel your best from the inside out.

What Makes It “Next-Gen”?

Advanced Gut Support

Most probiotics focus on digestion. Next-gen probiotics, like Akkermansia muciniphila, do more.

These strains are studied not just for general wellness, but for their deeper role in gut integrity, immune balance, and appetite regulation. They’re researched for therapeutic potential—and real results.

That’s why we call them next-gen. Because they go beyond what probiotics used to be.

Meet Akkermansia muciniphila

Nature’s mucus-loving gut guardian.

Akkermansia naturally lives in the lining of a healthy gut, where it helps maintain your intestinal barrier and supports the balance of your entire microbiome.

While most bacteria feed on fiber, Akkermansia consumes mucin, strengthening the gut lining and producing helpful byproducts that nourish other beneficial microbes. This makes it a keystone species for overall gut resilience.

A Lifestyle Match

Akkermansia flourishes in the presence of good habits—like movement, plant-rich meals, and time-restricted eating. It doesn’t need starch or sugar to thrive, so it adapts beautifully to fasting or lower-calorie diets.

It’s even been linked to GLP-1 activation—the same hunger-regulating hormone targeted by medications like Ozempic® and Wegovy®. But Akkermansia helps your body do it naturally.

The Research Is Clear

I'm in week three and I definitely can tell there's been a positive change in my digestive system. I wasn't expecting the GLP-1 booting to be so significant for me!!!! My cravings for sweets has almost completely disappeared. I no longer have 3-4 pieces of bite size chocolates at bedtime. I also do not snack during the day because I have no desire to. I also have no strong cravings for the chips, crackers or popcorn. I also have no cravings for cookies!!! I purchased 3 at the bakery yesterday and had no desire to devour them. I ate ½ a cookie and I was totally satisfied and then wondered why I even needed to eat it!

I’m so glad I finally bit the bullet and tried Akkermansia muciniphila! I’d been hearing about it from friends and online forums for ages, and I was curious to see if it’d make a difference for me. From what I’ve learned, AM is a beneficial bacteria that’s supposed to be living in the mucus layer of our intestines, but some of us might have lower levels due to various health issues. It can help with everything from blood sugar control to fat metabolism, energy, and even mood. Akkermy has delayed release capsules which protect the bacteria from stomach acid so they can actually make it to the intestines. For a 2 month supply, I think the price is definitely reasonable and I highly recommend everyone give it a shot!

I have taken the contents of one bottle. So that is a 2 month supply. I have lost 8 pounds which doesn’t seem like much but I have not really been dieting. I do intermittent fasting but I have always had to diet to lose weight while fasting. I have been eating what I want and still lost 8 pounds. It is the best way to lose anyway. I would like to lose another 20. If it takes me 6 months I will be ecstatic!

After reading and learning about Akkermansia and how it helps promote good gut health, I had to take a flier on it. I wanted to make 2024 the year I focus on me, especially the gut which is often overlooked. Despite being a bit hesitant at first, I have been taking it for a few weeks now, and have ready noticed some positive changes in my digestion and overall gut health. Also, I like how it is tasteless and is easy to incorporate into my daily routine. And the price for a 2 month supply while adding in Bacillus coagulans, is also a great bang for your buck. I highly recommend Akkermy to anyone looking to improve their gut health!

Extraordinary probiotic This is an extraodinary, fantastic probiotic blend that WORKS!!! I purchased a 3-month supply from Pendulum, which is double the price of Akkermy, and when I tested my microbiome I was still at ZERO Akkermansia Mucinifilia . After using Akkermy I re-tested and I have abundant Akkermansia. I highly and whole-heartedley recommend this product.

I've used other more expensive brands in an effort to re-populate my gut with Akkermansia, but I had no results. I mean after taking Pendulum brand for many months,I retested my microbiome and I was still at ZERO. With this product I've had spectacular results! In just 2 months my microbiome reached the "abundant " level of Akkermansia with 7.8%. I highly recommend Akkermy! Purchase it without hesitation, take it and eat your Zucchini and enjoy an improved, healthier microbiome!!💝💝💝

As a mom, I’m constantly thinking about what I’m putting in my body—especially now that my energy is divided in a million directions. I don’t have time to try products that are filled with junk or don’t deliver real benefits. That’s why I’m so grateful I found Akkermy. The first thing I noticed was the ingredient list—simple, clean, and backed by science. No weird additives, no fillers I have to Google. It’s just what I need to support my gut and metabolism, especially after having kids and dealing with years of off-and-on digestion issues. It took a couple of weeks, but I started to feel the difference: less bloating, fewer sugar cravings, and a sense of balance I hadn’t felt in a long time. I’m not just doing this for myself—I want to show my kids what it looks like to take care of your body in a thoughtful, long-term way. Akkermy makes that feel doable.

I’ve been taking Akkermy for a bit now, and I can really tell a difference. My digestion feels better, and I’m not as hungry after meals, which has been great for portion control. I also love that it’s packed with vitamins and doesn’t have any weird ingredients. It’s simple, clean, and just works. Definitely worth a try if you’re looking to boost your gut health!

I don’t usually write reviews, but this product seriously deserves one. I’d been hearing a lot about Akkermansia and how it can help with gut health and weight management, so I decided to try Akkermy. I’m honestly blown away. Within a couple of weeks, I noticed less bloating, more regular digestion, and something I didn’t expect: my sugar cravings started to fade. I used to reach for a snack every evening, but now I just… don’t feel the urge. The ingredients are super clean, and I love that they include Bacillus coagulans too — it’s not just a trendy probiotic, it actually feels like it’s working. I’ve also felt more steady energy throughout the day, and I swear my mood has improved too (I wasn’t expecting that either). Highly recommend if you’re looking for something real that goes beyond the basic probiotic. Akkermy is now part of my daily routine and I’m not looking back.
