A growing body of evidence suggests that specific, naturally occurring gut bacteria, particularly Akkermansia muciniphila and butyrate-producing microbes, are under-represented in the intestinal tracts of individuals with type 2 diabetes. The functions of these microbes, specifically maintenance of gut barrier integrity and butyrate production, are important to glucose and insulin homeostasis1. The short-chain fatty acid, butyrate, is shown to be essential in glucose management by binding to receptors in the gut mucosa and stimulating the release of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). GLP-1 is reduced in individuals with impaired glucose tolerance, which contributes to hyperglycemia. The benefits of GLP-1 impact health beyond diabetes management. In addition to supporting improved glucose control, GLP-1 promotes satiety, boosts general metabolic health, and supports improved cardiovascular health. In a placebo-controlled clinical trial, subjects administered a proprietary blend of Clostridium butyricum, Anaerobutyricum hallii, Clostridium beijerinckii, Akkermansia muciniphila, and Bifidobacterium infantis had significant improvements in glucose total area under the curve (AUC) and reductions glycated hemoglobin (A1C)1. This five-strain formulation is available as Glucose Control.

 

To promote the benefits of healthy blood sugar, soluble fiber is imperative as a major energy source for gut microbes and substrate for butyrate production. To optimize the presence of Akkermansia muciniphila, polyphenol-rich prebiotic foods are not only beneficial antioxidants, but have also been shown to increase Akkermansia population in the gut2.
