GLP-1 Probiotic Blend
- Pendulum's GLP-1 probiotic isn't just Akkermansia.
- It combines Akkermansia mucinophilia, Clostridium butyricum, and Bifidobacterium infantis to support GLP-1 release.
GLP-1's Role
- GLP-1, released after meals, signals the pancreas to produce insulin, slowing digestion.
- It also travels to the brain to signal fullness, acting like a fuel gauge.
Akkermansia and Butyrate
- Low Akkermansia levels may correlate with low butyrate, impacting gut health.
- Both Akkermansia and Clostridium butyricum produce butyrate, crucial for gut lining health and signaling.
