Is supplementing Akkermansia muciniphila risky?
There are other studies suggesting that a specific ratio of Bifido to Akkermansia https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11912405/ is associated with Multiple Sclerosis.
This study: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8132291/ indicates that MS patients often have elevated Akkermansia.
I took a bio/vis diagnostics panel and my results showed both low Akkermansia and Bifido [I am a fut2 non secretor so the low Bifido is unsurprising].
I'm interested in Pendulum Akkermansia probiotic but now I'm leaning towards assisting the bacterium / prebiotics that support Akkermansia rather than supplementing Akkermansia directly.
