Codeage Akkermansia Muciniphila Probiotic Supplement - 3-Month Supply of Akkermansia & Chicory Inulin - Daily Synbiotic Probiotic Chicory Root - 100 Million AFUs - Gluten-Free - 90 Capsules

Akkermansia is now widely recommended for improved gut health and it can be hard to discern which brands are quality. I've tried several and found Codeage to be very high quality and reliable. As a capsule, it is easy to take and the amount of probiotic ingredients in each one is comparable to other popular name brands. The value is quite good for this bottle. Recommend!

It works great if you have a problem with bowel movements.

This is the exact same thing as the "brand" name item that costs 3 times as much. The quality is good, and I have had no side affects. I have been using it now for a couple of months and plan to continue using it.

This is a live culture. Research suggests that it is very beneficial. However, there is an adjustment period where you may experience mild discomfort and a slight rash at the beginning. Although some recommend taking the inactivated version, I have chosen the live culture for two reasons: 1) The point is to have a better functioning gut microbiome, which involves establishing active cultures that support each other. 2) Taking the inactivated one makes you a long term client ($$$), without necessarily getting the full benefit.

So far so good, stomach is better and not bloated anymore

This is one of the better probiotics. No fancy additives that are meant to impress (or confuse) the uninformed consumer. If you want a quality product that delivers what you need without a bunch of needless added “stuff” then buy this brand. I don’t want to put anything in my body that is unnecessarily needed

I don't know how to rate live Akkermansia by Codeage. Studies used 6B-10B CFU, one pill contains 100M, it's unclear if this tiny dose can survive under the onslaught of harmful bacteria in the gut ecosystem. Prebiotic fiber included. This is good but why inulin? Akkermansia feeds on mucin. Inulin when combined with butyrate can slightly increase Akkermansia levels likely via cross-feeding. But RPS (resistant potato starch) produces much better results in human studies. Also polyphenols from cranberry extract, berries, nuts and seeds are effective. Polyphenols and RS increase mucin production. Instead of inulin, Codeage should have added cranberry extract and some resistant starch, as well as increase the dose. Or, at the very least, issue instructions for users to combine it with prebiotics. Adding some dietary fat like MCT oil to protect it from the stomach juices would be also helpful instead of recommending taking it with meals. Yes, meals provide fats ,but Akkermansia takes root better on an empty stomach. They did not put much thought into the product. I take 2 pills with RPS, blueberries and half avocado for healthy fats.

I was leery about purchasing this but they are great. I have another Akkermansia I purchased through a highly promoted seller and there is no difference. I actually liked this one more.
