Akkermansia is classed as a probiotic, and is not something that can be found in food. It makes up an important part of a healthy gut. It regulates mucus production in the gut, which may improve the lining of the gut and result in overall improved health. Its benefits also go beyond the gut, including helping to support better blood sugar control and reduce insulin resistance. It may also be beneficial for those who are obese and struggle with their weight.
