We feed the microbiome. We don’t replace it.

The large intestine is home to a community of trillions of bacteria. They feed on what reaches them — and that is where our work begins.

01 / Reaching the large intestine

Fibres and polyphenols are poorly absorbed in the small intestine. They reach the large intestine, where the microbiota lives.

02 / Bacteria ferment them

Gut bacteria use these ingredients as food. Fermentation produces short-chain fatty acids, substances studied in relation to the environment of the intestinal wall.

03 / The environment, rather than added bacteria

Akkermansia muciniphila lives in the intestinal mucus layer and is one of the most studied microbiome bacteria, but is difficult to supply as a live culture. We provide food for the bacteria already there.

Why prebiotics rather than added bacteria. ↗

Our science

Plant compounds.Meet gut microbes.

What we know about Akkermansia, polyphenols and fibres — and what we do not.

01Cranberry extract changed the stool microbiota

In a four-day human study with 28 participants, a cranberry extract changed the stool microbiota, including a bifidogenic response. No placebo group and a short duration: a signal, not proof. Not a Vekovia study.

02A Mediterranean diet raised faecal Akkermansia

An eight-week randomised diet study reported, among other changes, a rise in faecal Akkermansia. It tested a whole eating pattern, so the effect of a single ingredient cannot be isolated.

03Chicory inulin: an approved EU claim at 12 g a day

Native chicory inulin contributes to normal bowel function by increasing stool frequency, with 12 g daily. Microbiome Powder provides exactly that amount. There are no clinical studies on the finished Vekovia formulas.

FAQ

Before you choose.

All questions ↗
Is this a probiotic?

No. Probiotics add live bacteria. Vekovia makes prebiotics: fibres and plant polyphenols for the bacteria already in your gut. The approaches are different and can coexist.

Do the formulas contain Akkermansia?

No. None of the four formulas contains live or pasteurised Akkermansia muciniphila. Research about the bacterium is context, not a statement that a product increases it.

What is the difference between the two lines?

The Polyphenol line contains capsules with plant extracts from cranberry, pomegranate and grape seed. The Fibre line contains powders with 15 g or 14 g of fibre per day. Choose by purpose, ingredients and directions.

Which formula should I look at first?

Microbiome Complex: the complete capsule formula, 4 capsules daily. Cranberry & Pomegranate: the lighter version in 2 capsules, with vitamin C and zinc. Microbiome Powder: 15 g fibre daily from inulin and PHGG. Metabolic Powder: glucomannan, inulin and PHGG, taken before meals. Each product page lists amounts, directions and warnings.

Do I need to take all four?

No. They are alternatives with overlapping ingredients, not a four-step programme. Combining them changes your total fibre, extract and micronutrient intake; ask a qualified professional before combining supplements.
