Healthy Gut Series: Pendulum

Pendulum put the ‘pro’ in probiotics.

That's because these doctor-formulated supplements feature proprietary strains of probiotics. They also feature clinical efficacy, cutting-edge research, and revolutionary manufacturing. One of these groundbreaking strains is Akkermansia, a keystone strain discovered in 2004 that has since been in 3,000+ scientific publications. [1]

According to an interview with Well + Good, Tara Carr, a registered dietician for Pendulum Therapeutics- says that "Akkermansia feeds on proteins (called mucin) in the mucus layer of your intestines, and the more it eats, the stronger that gut lining becomes. Having a strong gut lining is important because it has a direct impact on your overall gut health, which can in turn affect many different areas of your overall health." [2]

In fact, Akkermansia may have immunomodulating properties and research shows is helpful in improving inflammatory conditions like Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), as well as helping regulate obesity and blood glucose levels. [3]

Let's take a closer look at the Pendulum products we brought into Haskill Creek...

Akkermansia: This multi-benefit keystone strain improves the integrity of the gut lining, alleviates occasional GI discomfort, and promotes a healthy metabolism.
According to Dr. Marky Hyman, a proponent of Pendulum's efficacy; ""When I was trying to recover from the greatest health crisis of my life, Akkermansia muciniphila played a pivotal role. It’s crucial for optimizing gut barrier function and immune response."

Polyphenol Booster: Considered “lifespan essentials”, polyphenols help protect the body and neutralize free radicals that cause damage to cells and can increase risk for certain health conditions. This booster blend contains three powerful polyphenols; pomegranate extract, grape seed extract, and green tea extract.
Bonus* Polyphenols are considered prebiotics because they help shape the environment in the gut microbiome and help benefit good bacteria like Akkermensia! [4]
