Akkermansia muciniphila

Why is Akkermansia muciniphila one of most coveted microbes in the gut?

This article allows us to understand about the incredible health benefits that we can gain from a probiotic gut microbe called Akkermancia muciniphilia. 

Probiotic bacteria are found in our gut and in many fermented foods, in particular, our sourdough starter! A healthy wholegrain sourdough bake is found to feed these probiotic, beneficial bacteria in our gut... 

Akkermansia is a famous probiotic microbe, meaning that we all want a certain level of in our gut! We learn in this article why not having this gut microbe is found to be associated with metabolic conditions such as IBS, liver disease, obesity and diabetes. 

What’s more, the article details how we can look at building up levels of this beneficial microbe in our gut through our fermented sourdough bakes, such as our new Fig Roll recipe. 

Subscribe to our Sourdough Club today to read this article and get full unlimited access to the recipes and more.

The Sourdough Club enables you to really understand how to nourish your gut and learn how to make fermented sourdough bakes with an online library of video tutorials, tips and expert advice.
