What to expect
What to expect
Week 1 - 3 Initiation
You may experience mild digestive changes. This is usually temporary and indicates that the strains are simply settling into their new environment — your gut.
Month 1 - 2 Initial changes
It usually takes around 90 days to see changes in the microbiome. However, results vary based on your gut, and you may begin to feel some benefits.
Month 3+ Full benefits
Good things take time. By now, your gut microbiome is reset and your digestive function is supported. Your gut feels good and so do you. Reminder: health depends on habit formation and benefits are optimized with daily use.

Your best line of defense
Stress, repeated antibiotic use, and other external factors can degrade the integrity of your gut lining. When this happens, the toxins in your gut can more easily infiltrate your body. Another adverse effect is a reduction in the amount ofAkkermansia muciniphila, a naturally occurring bacterial strain essential for maintaining the integrity of your gut barrier and thus your overall gut health.

1- RESET
TheAkkermansiabacteria feeds on mucin, the thin protective layer that keeps your gut lining strong and less permeable.

As theAkkermansiaconsumes mucin, it stimulates your gut to produce new mucin.
3 - REINFORCE
Freshly produced mucin fortifies your gut barrier and keeps toxins from traveling to the rest of your body.
