Expert opinions

Dr. Andrew Huberman

Huberman has discussed Akkermansia muciniphila, a gut bacterium that colonizes the mucin layer. He references Pendulum's live-strain capsule (the only FDA-approved GRAS Akkermansia product, about 1×10^8 AFU) because most probiotics don't contain it. Refrigerated, dairy-free intake.
