Pendulum Akkermansia Probiotic with Prebiotic Fiber - Increases GLP-1 Production, Delayed Release, Third-Party Tested, 100M AFU Live Strain for Gut Health for Men & Women (30 Capsules, 1-Pack)

This is the only Akkermansia product offered on Amazon that is third party tested to actually contain the bacteria you are looking for. I took another brand and saw no change. I learned that most brands are not tested by another impartial company. I took this for one month and did find I craved carbs much less. My gut is less sluggish. I will use this regularly.

This product helps my digestion. I feel better when I take it. I have had digestive problems in the past and this definitely helps

These are a great product.

I like the flavor and suits my purposes

I've taken other pro- & pre-biotics from other companies like RenewLife and Garden of life, and Physicians Choice but they never made me feel like this. I've had IBS since high school (I'm 44) managed well with diet and supplements, and I recently had my gallbladder removed, so I'm on an even more modified diet of lots of veggies, fish, chicken, water - no fried food, dairy, gluten, or sodas. I'm really careful about what I put in my body. I decided to give this a try because how could Storm be wrong?Welp, after daily consumption for 2 weeks I had to stop. The gas, explosive elimination, the cramps, the nausea - it was like I had my gallbladder back with colitis to boot. It only exasperated my gut issues and I have a food & medication journal, so I knew what the cause was. It may work for some, but unfortunately not for me.Another issue was the expiration date - the FAQ says it is considered expired 6 months after the printed MFC date, mine was 12/2022, so technically it expired in June 2023. So, there's that. And btw this is non-refundable so it was a costly experiment but, I guess I can thank them for the unplanned & unpleasant cleanse I received before my vacation. Lol

I decided to try Pendulum Akkermansia Probiotic to help some ongoing digestive microbial imbalance. I have done some microbe testing and know i am low on Akkermansia so I was excited to see this product hit the market specifically focusing on Akkermansia strain. Although I'm skeptical of a lot of new advertising campaigns from new probiotics companies (they feel very low on peer-based research and high on buzz words), I have been encouraged when taking a look at pendulum, and have been adding this probiotic into my routine.It takes months to properly judge but so far the adjustment period has been fine and i'm not experiencing any side effects. Of course, everyone has different needs and I encourage everyone to find what works for their particular situation. That said, I recommend giving this one a shot and look forward to future products from Pendulum.

Dr wants me to take this brand.

I read this was associated in the microbiome of supercentarians and helps in insulin regulation so I bought some. I take it on an empty stomach am. Love that it exists.
