UltraFlora Healthy Weight with Akkermansia

Research HighlightsUltraFlora Healthy Weight with Akkermansia (Formerly Akkermansia muciniphila) is a keystone species inhabiting hostintestinal mucus layer and contributes to the maintenance ofa healthy gut barrier.A lower abundance of Akkermansia muciniphila is associatedwith poor metabolic health, whereas a higher abundance islinked to better metabolic health.Its membrane protein Amuc_1100 can help maintain hostgut barrier integrity, support immune homeostasis, andimprove metabolic functions via TLR2 signaling. Amuc_1100remains active after pasteurization.A human clinical trial demonstrated that pasteurizedAkkermansia muciniphila is more effective than the livebacterium in improving metabolic health-related parameters.A unique, mucin-loving keystone speciesThe gut mucus layer forms a natural defense barrier, and its integrityis vital for maintaining the intestinal health of the host.1 Akkermansiamuciniphila, unlike many of the known probiotic species, is a uniquecommensal microbe in
