Akkermansia, the gut protector

Akkermansia, the gut protector

thread

According to a recent February 26 2021 article in Mind Body Green, akkermansia municiphila is the great gut protector, supplying our gut lining with a protective layer of mucus. A common gut ailment called leaky gut is connected to a deficiency of Akkermansia.

The weakening of our gut wall can enable undigested food particles and bacteria to "leak" into the bloodstream which causes inflammation, even worse, gastrointestinal diseases, according to Dr. Mark Hyman, founder and director of The UltraWellness Center, the Head of Strategy and Innovation of the Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine who is quoted in the article.

There are a number of foods that are high in anti-oxidant properties such as pomegranate, green tea, and cranberry. These phytochemicals contain large amounts of tannins, flavonols, anthocyanins which feed the akkermansia bacteria.

In the article, Dr. Hyman also mentions the importance of Akkermansia for certain drug cancer treatments which are only effective with the presence of this bacteria in the gut.
