About this deal
It's gaining traction for good reason as it's being touted as the next generation keystone strain for gut health. High levels of Akkermansia muciniphila (when akkermanisa is too high in stool results for example) may in fact indicate sub-optimal gut health as the above quote touches upon. Because the bacterium was discovered relatively recently, it’s likely that scientists just haven’t yet carried out the trials needed to produce a probiotic product fit for human use. A. muciniphila degrades intestinal mucin into mainly propionic and acetic acid, and lives in symbiosis with its host, marked by signalling to immune and metabolic pathways, priming trophic chains and likely providing competitive exclusion at the host–microbe interface.
Of note for this oral supplement, most practitioners will be familiar with the use of colonising forming units (CFUs) to denote the number of viable organisms that can multiply to form a colony in a prescribed dose. Full details of the production process, including operational parameters, can be found within section 2. The applicant concludes that there were no adverse effects observed across all measured parameters within the 12-week study.While Akkermansia muciniphila is not a traditional probiotic, incorporating foods that contain beneficial probiotic strains, such as yogurt, kefir, and fermented vegetables , may contribute to a balanced and healthy gut microbiome. Viability is checked once again after pasteurisation to validate effectiveness of the heat-treatment. Further information on the bioinformatic assessment of virulence factors and pathogenic potential of A. This is because Akkermansia consumes mucins and then turns them into certain types of short-chain fatty acids .
Polyphenols are powerful antioxidants that fight free radicals (chemical compounds that have been linked to multiple illnesses including diabetes, heart disease and cancer) in your body. The Committee is asked to advise on whether the available data provides an adequate basis for a risk assessment, and whether the novel food is safe and not nutritionally disadvantageous under the proposed use and use levels.Keystone bacteria like Akkermansia muciniphila, Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, and Bifidobacteria are very important for human health, but their populations can be easily diminished by antibiotics, stress, diet, glyphosate, and other environmental toxins. Eating enough fruit and vegetables seem to positively influence growth, whereas an unhealthy and high-fat diet leads to a reduction in the number of bacteria. muciniphila reduced the levels of the relevant blood markers for liver dysfunction and inflammation.
