Featuring next generation bacteria Akkermansia muciniphila, Akkermansia Gut Support is a true ‘guardian of the gut’, expertly-formulated to help safeguard gut barrier function and integrity.

Akkermansia muciniphila plays a key role in the mucus layer which covers the intestinal epithelium (the layer of cells which separates the gut from the rest of the body) using mucin as its source of nutrition, stimulating mucin production and continually renewing the mucus layer to help protect the gut barrier from damage and prevent pathogenic invasion. Crucially, a protein attached to the Akkermansia bacteria called Amuc_1100 remains stable after pasteurisation and continues to signal to epithelial cells, stimulating mucin production.

Akkermansia Gut Support with Akkermansia muciniphila is aimed at anyone looking to support their gut health, particularly those who wish to improve gut barrier function, a balanced microbiome, and support resistance to stress.

Jarrow Formulas® Ashwagandha is a full-spectrum extract obtained from the root of the Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) plant. 

Studies demonstrate that Ashwagandha is an adaptogen that supports normalized resistance to physical and mental stress and supports endurance, muscle recovery, and cognitive health.

For more than 2000 years, Chinese herbalists have valued astragalus for its adaptogenic properties, as well as for its ability to tonify the body's "vital force" known as the Qi. More recently, astragalus has been found to support healthy immune function through numerous mechanisms. Non-clinical studies using astragalus have demonstrated it can support the healthy production of and activity of specialized white blood cells. Astragalus has also been studied for its role in the support of healthy liver and vascular function.

Bio-Kult FAQs

Can Bio-Kult be taken during pregnancy?
Bio-Kult contains naturally occurring beneficial microorganisms which have been previously shown to be safe to take during pregnancy. However, we would always recommend that advice should be sought from your GP/Health Care Practitioner whenever taking supplements.

I’m lactose intolerant. Can I take Bio-Kult?
Bio-Kult contains probiotic strains that have been shown to produce lactase, the enzyme needed to break down lactose, which is usually lacking in people intolerant to lactose. Bio-Kult contains traces of milk products at a level which would not affect lactose intolerance sufferers.

I have an allergy to milk. Can I take Bio-Kult?
Bio-Kult contains traces of milk that would not affect lactose intolerant sufferers, but if you have an
allergy to milk, we would suggest you talk to your practitioner before taking Bio-Kult.

Are there any side effects from taking Bio-Kult?
Bio-Kult contains a high concentration of beneficial microorganisms. If there is a pathogenic overload in your gut, and you start off with a high dose of Bio-Kult, in a small number of people a ‘die-off’ side effect, such as bloating, may be experienced for a few days.

I suffer from IBD. Will probiotics help?
Evidence suggests that increasing the number of beneficial bacteria in the small intestine and colon may improve the health of patients suffering from IBD. Probiotics will not cure IBD, but have been shown to reduce the symptoms of IBD.

I suffer from IBS. Will Bio-Kult help?
Evidence has shown that probiotics (such as some of the strains contained within Bio-Kult) can reduce the symptoms of IBS, like bloating and gas (see ‘Gut conditions’).

Can I take Bio-Kult at the same time as antibiotics?
Yes, evidence shows that taking a probiotic at the same time as an antibiotic can reduce the incidence of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea (see ‘Gut conditions’). For the best results, take the probiotic at the opposite end of the day to the antibiotic. Where this is not possible, take the probiotic at least three hours after the antibiotic course.
