Frequently Asked Questions About Akkermansia
Akkermansia muciniphila is a type of bacteria naturally residing in our intestines, which loves the intestinal mucus layer and settles there. Scientific studies show that this bacterium is found at higher levels in healthy, lean, and insulin-sensitive individuals; while it significantly decreases in conditions such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. Therefore, Akkermansia has begun to be defined a...

What Happens in Our Body in the Absence of Akkermansia Muciniphila?
In the last decade, the science of microbiota has evolved from a simple concept of "intestinal health" to the center of human physiology. One of the key players in this revolution is a bacterium known in the scientific world as the "Next-Generation Probiotic" called Akkermansia muciniphila. Unlike standard probiotics (such as Lactobacillus found in yogurt or kefir), Akkermansia is a delicate ba...
