Our team of pioneering scientists was the first to discover and isolate Akkermansia muciniphila,  the groundbreaking strain naturally occurring in the gut. Early studies revealed a clear pattern: individuals with stronger metabolic markers consistently had higher levels of Akkermansia.

This bacterium plays a key role in maintaining the gut barrier, supporting the mucus layer, and preserving the integrity of the gut lining. By strengthening the gut barrier, Akkermansia contributes to metabolic resilience.*

Our continued scientific investigation led to another important discovery: pasteurized Akkermansia MucT®, which exhibits enhanced metabolic efficacy compared to live forms. A mild heat treatment preserves the structural integrity of Akkermansia’s main functional components, like the protein Amuc_1100. Located on the bacterium's surface, Amuc_1100 interacts with intestinal receptors to strengthen the gut barrier, trigger anti-inflammatory responses, and improve metabolic outcomes.* By protecting these key components, our proprietary pasteurization process unlocks the full potential of Akkermansia’s benefits.

Pasteurized Akkermansia MucT® is the only form of Akkermansia muciniphila approved for use as a dietary supplement and certified by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), one of the most stringent regulatory reviews globally.

This process includes a comprehensive safety assessment, detailed ingredient characterization, and evaluation of manufacturing controls.

Production is also conducted under GMP standards, with strict oversight to ensure lot-to-lot consistency, protein preservation, and shelf-life stability.
