How keystone strains influence overall health
1 - CONVERTING FIBER INTO FUEL
Pendulum’s five probiotic strains ferment dietary fiber to produce key postbiotics—like SCFA, proteins that boost GLP-1 hormone production, and anti-inflammatory cytokines.
2 - SUPPORT THE GUT BARRIER
Akkermansia muciniphila supports gut barrier integrity and immune balance. Low levels can thin the mucosal layer, disrupt the microbiome, and allow harmful bacteria and toxins into circulation—triggering inflammation and immune responses.
3 - STIMULATE GLP-1 PRODUCTION
Pendulum’s five strains boost butyrate production—a vital postbiotic that drives key health benefits, including stimulating GLP-1 hormone release from intestinal L cells.
