Pasteurised Akkermansia muciniphila + European berries
One bacterium.Two decades of research.Three European berries.
Pasteurised Akkermansia muciniphila — the strain the EU authorised as a Novel Food — with freeze-dried European berries. Sourced and made in Europe.
Grounded in published research
records for Akkermansia muciniphila indexed in PubMed, August 2026
as an EU Novel Food, in its pasteurised form
bilberry, pomegranate and raspberry
Three pairings, and the ground they grow in
One bacterium and three European fruits, each chosen because the research points to it — plus two formulas that feed the microbes you already have: chicory fibre and a polyphenol complex.

The science of Akkermansia and the gut, in plain English — every claim with its source.
What Akkermansia eats, and what happens when the food runs out
Akkermansia lives in the gut's mucus layer and eats the protein it is made of. A 2016 study showed what a fibre-free diet does to that layer — and it is not subtle.
Does prebiotic fibre actually raise Akkermansia? The human answer is no, or not yet
Inulin is sold everywhere as food for Akkermansia. In the clearest human trial, the bacteria that rose were Bifidobacterium and F. prausnitzii — and Akkermansia was not among them.
Why we don't make claims (and why that's the point)
Most supplement brands promise outcomes. We describe research and stop. The EU rulebook behind that choice, and why we would keep the habit anyway.
