By: The Posts Author | Posted on: 8 Feb 24

What is Akkermansia Good For?Akkermansia muciniphila (A. muciniphila) is a bacterial species that inhabits the human gut. A. muciniphila lives in the mucus layer that covers the intestinal wall, where it specializes in degrading mucus and using it as its energy source, helping to stimulate mucus turnover, which is essential for gut health.A. muciniphila has key roles in maintaining the integrity of the intestinal barrier, supporting a healthy gut microbiota composition, modulating immune responses, influencing metabolic pathways, and promoting healthy aging. In virtue of its many benefits to human physiology and its roles in supporting human health and the gut microbiota, A.

What Are Psychobiotics?Psychobiotics are health-promoting microorganisms (probiotics) or compounds that support such microorganisms (prebiotics) which, when ingested, confer cognitive and mental health benefits to the host through their interaction with the gut microbiota [1]. To put it simply: they’re probiotics and prebiotics for the brain.Psychobiotics are probiotics and prebiotics for the brain.Psychobiotics are able to influence brain function because the brain and the gut microbiota are in constant crosstalk through the gut-brain axis. By modulating the composition or the metabolism of the gut microbiota, psychobiotics change signaling from the gut to the brain. And because this signaling impacts brain activity, it is
