Live Akkermansia Keystone Gut Strain
Strengthens & Supports Gut Lining
Reduces Gut Permeability & Leakiness

Akkermansia muciniphila is one of the most talked-about strains in gut health — a keystone species that lives in your intestinal mucus layer and helps keep the gut barrier strong. It's also hard to find in most probiotics. Pendulum Akkermansia 100 Pro delivers this live strain in a once-daily capsule to support the gut lining, barrier integrity, and metabolic health.

If you are immunocompromised or seriously ill, check with your provider before taking any live probiotic.
Akkermansia lives in and feeds on your gut's mucus layer — the protective barrier between your gut contents and your body. A robust Akkermansia population is associated with a stronger barrier and healthier metabolic markers. Because it is rare in standard probiotics and difficult to cultivate, supplementing the live strain directly is the practical way to support it.
Adults take one capsule daily with food. Refrigerate for optimal quality.
