Akkermansia Muciniphila, an essential gut bacteria for the balance of metabolism and overall health. This microorganism stands out for its ability to regenerate the mucosal layer of the intestine, thereby strengthening the defensive barrier against toxins and reducing systemic inflammation. Here is a brief explanation of how to maintain adequate levels of this bacteria, which helps control body weight and prevents disorders such as type 2 diabetes or neurodegenerative diseases. Additionally, it details how current lifestyle factors decrease its presence and offers strategies to stimulate its growth through a diet rich in polyphenols. Its specialised biochemical role in producing key metabolites that protect the integrity of the intestinal epithelium is also highlighted.
