Comparing Akkermansia supplements

Choosing an Akkermansia supplement? Start with the strain.

Not all Akkermansia is the same. Three things to check on any label: the strain, the form and the dose.

You’re comparing. Good.

You’ve opened ten tabs. Every jar says the same word in big letters, and the prices are all over the place.

Here’s the shortcut we’d give a friend: ignore the front of the jar. Turn it around. Three lines on the back tell you almost everything.

Turn the jar around

Three lines. Read them in order.

01

The strain

What to look for: a named, specific strain, not just “Akkermansia”.

Ours: Akkermansia muciniphila MucT®. From the scientists who discovered the original Akkermansia muciniphila MucT® strain.

02

The form

What to look for: pasteurized or live, and whether it needs the fridge.

Ours: pasteurized. Pasteurized Akkermansia MucT® is more efficient than live Akkermansia muciniphila for certain metabolic health parameters: insulin function*. High quality, shelf-stable product.

03

The dose

What to look for: the amount per daily serving, and whether it matches the research.

Ours: 30 billion TFU a day, the clinically validated dose of pasteurized Akkermansia MucT®.

We don’t make claims about other brands. Use these three questions on any label, including ours.

What is Akkermansia?

1–3%

Of the gut microbiome. Over 20 years of research on Akkermansia muciniphila.

Akkermansia muciniphila is a prominent resident at the intestinal mucus layer, representing between 1% and 3% of our intestinal microbes. A key gut microbe studied for its role in digestive and metabolic health*.

Made by the people who discovered it

From the lab to your morning.

Made by the company founded by the scientists who identified the strain.

Where this starts

We didn’t buy the science. We are the science.

It started at Wageningen University, when our scientists identified a previously unknown bacterium in the mucus layer of the human gut.

The name

They called it Akkermansia muciniphila. Muciniphila means “mucin-loving”, after the mucus layer where they found it.

The work

Professor Willem de Vos and Patrice Cani spent more than two decades studying Akkermansia.

The form

Akkermansia MucT® is a stable, pasteurized form of Akkermansia muciniphila, studied for its role in gut health.

Today

Two decades of research later, that discovery is a daily supplement.

From practice

Trusted by healthcare practitioners.

What practitioners tell us, in their own words, as published on shopmetabiotics.com.

After learning more about Akkermansia and the science behind it, our clinic decided to trial the product firsthand. We were really happy with the results and decided to bring Akkermansia into our practice for our patients.
Dr. M. B.California
I’ve been taking Akkermansia myself and have really liked my results. It’s a product I feel confident recommending to others and sharing with my patients.
NP, Clinic and Medical SpaIndiana
We’ve received really positive feedback from patients using Akkermansia. It’s been especially encouraging to see patients continue incorporating it into their routines month after month.

Fair questions

Three things you might be thinking. Straight answers.

“Isn’t every Akkermansia the same?”Read the label.

Strain, form and dose can all differ. Ours: Akkermansia muciniphila MucT®, pasteurized, 30 billion TFU a day, made by the company founded by the scientists who discovered it.

“Live must be better than pasteurized.”Not for insulin function.

Pasteurized Akkermansia MucT® is more efficient than live Akkermansia muciniphila for certain metabolic health parameters: insulin function*.

“More must be better.”Look for the research dose.

Look for the dose used in the research. Ours is 30 billion TFU a day, the clinically validated dose.

Questions, answered

Straight answers.

Is MucT® the same as the Akkermansia in other brands?

MucT® is a specific, named strain of Akkermansia muciniphila, from the scientists who discovered the original Akkermansia muciniphila MucT® strain. To compare any Akkermansia supplement, check the label for the strain name, the form (pasteurized or live) and the daily dose.

What does pasteurized mean?

Pasteurized means the bacteria are gently heat-processed, so they are no longer live. MucT® is specially manufactured to preserve its ability to communicate and convey signals to intestinal cells to support metabolic health outcomes*.

Postbiotic or probiotic: what’s the difference?

A probiotic contains live bacteria. Pasteurized Akkermansia MucT® is not live, which makes it a postbiotic: beneficial Akkermansia postbiotic for gut and metabolic health support*.

Does it need refrigeration?

No. High quality, shelf-stable product: store it in a cool, dry place.

Which product should I choose?

Metabolic Strength is Akkermansia MucT® on its own. Weight Manager adds green tea extract, EGCG, chromium and vitamins D and B2, and supports weight maintenance after weight loss*†. Both contain 30 billion TFU of pasteurized Akkermansia MucT® a day.

Two ways to decide

The strain, the form, the dose.

Path one

Keep comparing tabs

Without checking strain, form and dose.

Path two

Choose it from the people who discovered it

$1.17 a day on the 3-month plan ($105 every 3 months until you cancel), or $45 for one bottle. 90-day money-back guarantee.
