FASTING helps this “GOOD” Bacteria----Akkermansia muciniphila.
Pendulum Akkermansia-Pendulum

Discovered in 2004 and is 1 of the top 20 common microbial species that exists in the human gut microbiome. Makes up about 3-5% of the gut bacteria.

Lives in a layer of mucus that lines the gut. The mucus protects the intestinal epithelial cells as well as provides energy for other gut microbes what support the immune system.

Akkermansia muciniphila feeds on the gut mucus layer, generating short chain fatty acids (SCF) which stimulates the production of more mucus constantly replenishing with fresh mucus to maintain its function. It is a gram negative anaerobic bacteria.

Low Akkermansia muciniphila -weakens the gut barrier potentially allowing harmful toxins inside.

Benefit:
Atopy(allergies, asthma and eczema)
Autism, IBD, Crohn’s and UC
Obesity and T2D.
Improves blood sugar, gut inflammation, insulin sensitivity.

How to boost Akkermansia muciniphila
1. Intermittent fasting i.e. alternate-day fasting or time restricted fasting has been shown to increase AM and overall positive effect on gut microbiota.
People with higher levels of AM have better results with weight loss when doing calorie restriction.
Studies suggest that fasting may not only help increase Akkermansia levels in the gut but that higher levels may also enhance the benefits of fasting
2. Akkermansia-supplements
3. Cranberry extract-polypenol rich supplements can increase AM. Apple peel, other berries, rhubarb extract.
4. Green tea extract
5. Other probiotics and prebiotics.

I have been taking Akkarmansia from Pendulum all year. However I still have leaky gut because I've been eating vegetables and fruit containing pesticides. The pesticides cause leaky gut. So now I'm trying my best to eat produce without pesticides. This should give the Akkarmansia a chance to work now.
