The Akkermansia Company
First-of-its-kind dietary supplement with pasteurised Akkermansia for gut health, weight management, and blood sugar control.
The Akkermansia Company commercializes a dietary supplement based on the Akkermansia muciniphila bacteria, first discovered in 2004. The company holds a unique market position by offering the first and only supplement containing pasteurised Akkermansia, targeting the consumer health and wellness sector.
The business model is direct-to-consumer (D2C), selling its products as food supplements. The core product is formulated with additional ingredients to address specific health concerns. One formulation includes Chamomile Extract, Riboflavin, and Folic Acid to support gut health and stress resistance. Another variant contains EGCG from Green Tea, Vitamins B2 and D3, and Chromium, aimed at promoting weight management and controlling blood sugar levels.
The company leverages the scientific credibility of its founders, the original discoverers of the bacteria, to build brand trust and educate consumers through its online content. Revenue is generated through the sale of these specialized dietary supplements to individuals seeking to improve their metabolic and gut health.
