I remember when this #bacteria was first discovered. They did a #microbiome sequence on "healthy weight" people and people with #obesity and discovered this bacteria was present in the thin people and missing from the obese people. Once introduced, they lost around 10% of their weight. Why? They didn't know.
Now it turns out this produces a protein that stimulates the body into producing more GLP-1 derivatives. I recently started taking this because I was looking for a obligate Claustrophobia spore-former which along with Bacillus subtilus has been shown to break down #sorbitol which is one of the few parts of #FODMAP that enzymes can't break down, and it came blended as an extra where Akkermansia was the selling point. I'll let you know how it goes. Hoping to get all the good benefits of GLP-1 by effectively microdosing it, which has been shown to have positive effects. I will keep you informs as to how it goes. Also hoping that once I've lost weight I will have beaten FODMAP for good, with xylase isomerase and alpha-galactocidase (beano minus the mannitol)
Though also taking this one as one of the papers said that several of the bacteria increase each others growth

@anubis2814 Thank you! Do you just take 1 capsule a day with food?
@anubis2814 Why that brand? There are other brands with a higher bacterium count.
@beforewisdom Apparently counts aren't that important so long as you have a good diet and give it good things to grow itself on. For one thing many have different ways to measure the counts. This was the highest count which also had the clostridium that I was initially looking for. There is another much more exensive one that has another strain of clostridium that I might use for a month just to introduce to my gut just in case its missing. That said this one also has inulin which is another FODMAP that my xylase isomerase supposedly breaks down so next time I might get a different one I saw that didn't use inulin. And yes I just take one capsule.
@anubis2814 I got a bottle of that yesterday. Post again when you are done with yours. I would be interested in your opinion.
