Akkermansia muciniphila is a beneficial gut bacterium that's making headlines for its role in promoting health.
Found in the human gut microbiome, Akkermansia has been associated with a wide range of health benefits, from supporting a healthy weight to enhancing metabolic health and even boosting immune function.
This bacterium thrives on the mucus lining of the gut, helping to maintain a healthy intestinal barrier and prevent harmful substances from entering the bloodstream.
Studies suggest that a higher abundance of Akkermansia can be linked to lower rates of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and inflammation.
Promoting the growth of Akkermansia in the gut can be achieved through diet, particularly by consuming foods rich in polyphenols, such as berries, nuts, and green tea, as well as fiber-rich foods.
