Healthy Weight with Glucose Control

Containing Akkermansia muciniphila MucT™ – the original, scientifically recognised strain.

Akkermansia muciniphila MucT™ is the pioneering Akkermansia strain first identified in 2004. Today, this clinically researched strain is exclusively distributed by Metagenics in South Africa as Healthy Weight with Glucose Control.

Why the MucT™ Strain Matters

Akkermansia muciniphila MucT™ is the original reference strain – the strain that established Akkermansia as one of the most promising next‑generation bacteria in gut and metabolic research. Its scientific foundation and safety profile make it the preferred choice for both practitioners and patients.

Pasteurised for Proven Efficacy

Akkermansia Healthy Weight features the pasteurised form of Akkermansia muciniphila.

This format is:

  • Highly effective – pasteurisation enhances the strain’s activity and stability.
  • Well‑researched – supported by a robust body of human clinical studies.
  • Trusted for safety – selected due to its clean safety profile and reliable performance across research.

The Science Behind Akkermansia

A growing portfolio of studies highlights the important role of Akkermansia in:

  • Supporting gut lining integrity
  • Promoting metabolic balance
  • Contributing to healthy weight management

As awareness of gut–metabolic pathways increases, Akkermansia continues to stand out as a key next‑generation strain with significant clinical potential.

Targeting gut barrier integrity and metabolic signalling pathways.

  • Strengthens intestinal tight junctions
  • Increases gut mucus production​
  • Activates TLR-2 signalling​
  • Supports GLP-1 regulation
