Codeage Akkermansia Probiotic
Codeage sells Akkermansia muciniphila at 100 million AFUs with chicory root inulin, at roughly half the price of the category leader. Publishing the AFU count puts it ahead of several competitors on the specification that matters most.

What’s in it
Amounts are shown only where the manufacturer publishes them. Anything without a figure is undisclosed — and for an active ingredient, an undisclosed dose is the central problem with this category.

How the manufacturer says it works
Codeage pairs the Akkermansia strain with chicory inulin as a prebiotic substrate, on the same logic as other synbiotic products: the bacteria need fermentable fibre to work with.
What the evidence actually supports
Same underlying literature as any Akkermansia product — a genuinely interesting organism with one small human pilot trial showing improved insulin sensitivity. Publishing an actual live-cell count is meaningful: it lets you compare products rather than trusting a strain name alone. Pairing a probiotic with a prebiotic substrate is a sound formulation principle.
Where that evidence stops
100 million AFUs is a modest count by probiotic standards — many products publish counts in the billions, though direct comparison across measurement methods and strains is not straightforward. The inulin quantity is not published. As with every product here, there is no trial of this formulation and no weight loss evidence.
Strengths and problems

Frequently asked
Is 100M AFUs enough?
There is no established effective dose for Akkermansia, so nobody can answer that definitively — which is itself worth knowing. Many probiotics publish counts in the billions, so 100 million is modest by comparison, though counts are not directly comparable across strains and measurement methods.
