Akkermansia muciniphila is a pioneer of next-generation probiotics and has been widely recognized for its key role in maintaining intestinal barrier integrity, regulating host metabolism and promoting immune balance.
Akkermansia muciniphila
Akkermansia muciniphila is a Gram-negative, anaerobic bacterium that inhabits the mucus layer of the human intestine.
This strain was first isolated in 2004 and belongs to the phylum Verrucomicrobia.
It plays a key role in regulating host metabolism and maintaining intestinal mucosal stability.

Health Benefits
Promote GLP-1 secretion
Improve intestinal barrier function
Strengthen tight junction proteins and promote intestinal mucus secretion.
Regulates inflammatory response
Reduce systemic and local intestinal inflammatory responses.
Improve lipid and blood sugar metabolism
Preclinical testing and clinical studies have shown that it can reduce liver fat accumulation and lower blood sugar.
Research Findings
Sterilization is also effective
Pasteurized Akkermansia strains have been shown to improve insulin sensitivity. (Depommier et al., Nat Med, 2019)
Negatively associated with obesity risk
The Akkermansia content in feces was significantly negatively correlated with obesity and type 2 diabetes. (Dao et al., 2016)
Helps liver fat metabolism and improves metabolic hepatitis
Oral administration of Akkermansia reduces liver fat accumulation and inflammation in a mouse model of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NASH). (Everard et al., 2013)
May help cancer immunotherapy success
This bacterium is a microbial biomarker for tumor immunotherapy response and is positively correlated with the treatment response of cancer patients. (Routy et al., 2018)

Initiating a breakthrough in probiotic innovation

Leeuwenhoek collaborated with the National Taiwan University Hospital to isolate Akkermansia muciniphila from the intestines of healthy Taiwanese people and established a local bacterial strain library, which has now become the world's largest bacterial strain database for this bacterium.
