What are the key benefits of the Essential Microbiome?Updated 2 hours ago
2-in-1 formula: combines clinically-studied pasteurized Akkermansia and tributyrin - two keystone gut health ingredients in one precision-dosed capsule.
Gut barrier support: Akkermansia and tributyrin work together to support mucus layer health and gut barrier integrity, promoting a strong, resilient gut lining.
Pasteurized Akkermansia: A keystone postbiotic found in the mucus layer of healthy guts. Pasteurized Akkermansia (like ours) has been shown to outperform live strains in clinical trials, improving insulin sensitivity, reducing cholesterol, and slowing progression toward metabolic syndrome.
Dual-action formula: Addresses both microbial depletion and SCFA deficiency, two core drivers of poor gut health.
Protected delivery: The delayed-release dual capsule protects both ingredients from stomach acid and releases them in the small intestine - where pasteurized Akkermansia's bioactive surface protein engages the gut lining, and tributyrin is converted to butyrate to nourish intestinal cells.
Healthy aging: A balanced microbiome and strong gut barrier are associated with healthier aging. Essential Microbiome supports both.
Tributyrin advantage: Unlike direct butyrate supplements, tributyrin survives early digestion and releases butyrate where it supports gut lining integrity and a healthy inflammatory response.
Tributyrin tolerability: Unlike direct butyrate supplement, tributyrin is generally better tolerated and less likely to cause GI discomfort or bad taste/smell.
Microbiome balance: Supports a healthy, diverse microbiome by promoting the growth of beneficial keystone species linked to long-term digestive health.
Metabolic health: Supports healthy blood sugar, insulin sensitivity, and cholesterol levels already within normal range.
Gut-brain axis: Supports gut-brain communication by promoting a balanced microbiome and healthy gut lining - key factors in maintaining mood and cognitive wellness.
Clean formula: Gelatin-free, non-GMO, formulated without unnecessary fillers or flavors. No refrigeration required.
