A unique and novel probiotic strain (species of bacteria) naturally found in your gastrointestinal tract, Akkermansia muciniphila, directly interacts with your gut lining and helps regulate the mucus lining in your gut. Now, there’s growing evidence showing Akkermansia to be a keystone bacterial strain.This conversation dives into the latest research and what it means for you.
