Akkermansia is hard to find because it is an anaerobic strain that needs to be grown in an oxygen-free environment (like your gut). This makes Akkermansia unique, as most probiotics on shelves can tolerate oxygen.

Our enteric coated capsule is acid-resistant, meaning it is tough enough to get through the very acidic stomach, through the small intestines, and into the large intestines where it can do its job.
