GUT HEALTH AND LONGEVITY
Akkermansia muciniphila has been shown to play an important role in promoting gut health, and thus, longevity through multiple mechanisms. First, Akkermansia muciniphila thrives on mucin and utilizes it as a source of energy. As Akkermansia consumes mucin. it stimulates the production of additional mucin by epithelial cells. This process of "mucin making" leads to the reinforcement of the intestinal wall. which is essential for maintaining gut health and overall well-being.5 Additionally. Akkermansia has been shown to promote short chain fatty acids. which further support the gut's immune defenses by inhibiting the invasion of potentially harmful bacteria.6 These combined effects create an environment conducive to a balanced gut microbiota and optimal gut function. which are key factors in supporting longevity and overall well-being.
METABOLISM AND GLP-1 PRODUCTION
In terms of metabolic optimization. Akkermansia muciniphila demonstrates remarkable capabilities, particularly in increasing the production of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1). GLP-1 is an incretin hormone that plays a crucial role in regulating glucose metabolism and insulin secretion.• Akkermansia promotes GLP-1 production through several pathways. First, it stimulates enteroendocrine cells in the gut to release GLP-1 in response to nutrient intake. Second. when Akkermansia provides aid to gut barrier function. it can reduce metabolic endotoxemia. which can further stimulate GLP-1 secretion. Finally. as mentioned previously. Akkermansia produces short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) like acetate. propionate. and butyrate during fermentation. which have been shown to increase GLP-1 levels.6 The collective impact of these mechanisms results in the body's ability to support glucose tolerance. insulin sensitivity·7•8 and metabolic regulation. ultimately allowing for more efficient fat metabolism and more effective means to achieving lean body composition and browning white fat.
