The link between metabolism and microbiome
Research has shown that Type 2 diabetes is linked to an imbalance in the gut microbiome. Specifically, people with diabetes are shown to have low levels of Akkermansia muciniphila [truth be told, at least in my experience, about 80%, perhaps even 90%, of the adult U.S. population-- diabetic, pre-diabetic, and the rest of them test for very, very low levels of Akkermansia in their stool samples] and other probiotic strains that help digest dietary fiber to produce butyrate, a crucial short-chain fatty acid needed for balancing glucose and supporting the gut lining.
The science behind Pendulum’s newest product, Pendulum Glucose Control, has demonstrated that it helps lower A1C and manage blood sugar spikes.
Butyrate: A powerful byproduct in a balanced microbiome.
Butyrate is critically important for digestive and metabolic health. It feeds the cells in our gut and creates a favorable environment for other good bacteria to grow. More than 5,000 research studies have shown that butyrate plays several important roles in the body:
Major fuel source for cells lining the large intestine
Helping maintain the gut lining
Helps improve immunity by defending against permeability
Stimulates GLP-1, a hormone produced by the gut, which helps maintain a healthy balance between insulin and glucose levels
But, our bodies don’t produce any butyrate on their own.
So Pendulum has compiled a proprietary blend of bacterial strains that can help your body generate butyrate. To that end, Pendulum Glucose Control is the only probiotic to contain the combination of Akkermansia muciniphila, Clostridium beijerinckii, Clostridium butyricum, Bifidobacterium infantis, and Anaerobutyricum hallii that helps people maintain their own healthy microbiomes.
Here is a closer look at the powerful ingredients in Pendulum's Glucose Control Pro probiotic blend:
Akkermansia muciniphila
"The gut-lining builder"
A highly targeted strain that can only be found in Pendulum Glucose Control & Akkermansia products. People with Type 2 diabetes are shown to be deficient in Akkermansia (in all honesty, about 80%, perhaps even 90%, of the adult U.S. population-- diabetic, pre-diabetic, and the rest of them!), which can be associated with healthy weight management.
Clostridium butyricum
The digestive health & immunity booster
Naturally found in the human GI tract, this strain is named for its ability to produce high amounts of the short-chain fatty acid butyrate. It has been associated with digestion support and immune health.
Clostridium beijerinckii
"The butyrate producer"
This novel strain produces the short-chain fatty acid butyrate, which helps the body process sugar and nourish the lining of the gut.
Anaerobutyricum hallii
(The other butyrate producer)
This is another strain known to produce the short-chain fatty acid butyrate, helping the body process sugar and nourish the lining of the gut.
Bifidobacterium infantis
The digestive health booster
This heavy-hitter breaks down a range of foods and produces the intermediate molecules that are used by the three butyrate-producing strains we have. It also helps maintain a healthy GI tract and alleviates digestive issues.
Chicory inulin
The power source for our strains
A soluble fiber that can travel to the lower gut and feed our strains. We want to enhance our strains' abilities to perform their targeted functions.
No one could manufacture these novel strains—so we built our own facility
The Pendulum manufacturing facility is as unique as the probiotic strains grown within it. Why? Our strains are the heavy-hitters, the ones that live and thrive where there’s absolutely no oxygen - in your colon - and they can only exist in a comparable environment.
Anaerobic probiotics require a completely oxygen-free environment
In order to grow Akkermansia and our other strict anaerobes, we had to create our own closed-system facility to ensure the complete absence of oxygen from start to finish.
What to expect when starting a new probiotic
Spoiler alert: by month 3, you'll feel amazing!
Week 1–3
You may experience mild digestive changes. This means that the strains are settling in and is usually temporary.
Month 1–2
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 and beyond
You should feel the full benefits: your gut microbiome is happy, and you feel healthier overall. Cheers to gut health!
