Hello Community,

Hope you've had a great Easter weekend so far.

Many of you may have heard of a new probiotic called Akkermansia Muciniphila, which is a key bacteria living in the mucosal layer of your gut. Akkermansia has been linked with a lower risk of Type II diabetes, lower body weight, reduced intestinal inflammation, stronger gut barriers, etc. Our team has "digested" quite a few scientific publications regarding Akkermansia and summarized them into three articles that you can easily access:

• What is Akkermansia muciniphila?
• How to Boost Akkermansia in Your Gut? – A Comprehensive Guide
• Akkermansia muciniphila Uses Human Milk Oligosaccharides to Thrive in Early Life, According to Research by Dr. Kostopoulos et al. (2020)

The first article is a short introduction to Akkermansia and its functions. The second article provides a very comprehensive guide to boosting Akkermansia in your gut.

For those of you who asked how Akkermansia "eats" HMO, be sure to check out the third article above. It summarizes how A. muciniphila:

• can use HMOs thanks to their enzymatic capacity
• expresses key glycan-degrading enzymes when grown on human milk
• expresses mucin enzymes to consume HMOs

If you want to get more PureHMO to boost your Akkermansia level, you can now enjoy a 20% discount on our PureHMO Prebiotic Powder this weekend. Please use code: HappyEaster for your order (only applies to PureHMO Prebiotic Powder - 45 Servings, offer lasts until Monday 11:59 pm EST).

We hope you have an amazing week!

Sincerely,

The Layer Origin Nutrition Team
