One double-blind randomized controlled study with a 5-strain formulation containing live Akkermansia muciniphila found that after completing 12 weeks of supplementation, 20% of participants had signs of gut colonization even after a 6-month washout period (meaning no probiotics were ingested)
Some patients also reported moderate-to-mild urinary tract infection or skin discomfort
Short-acting GLP-1 RAs (e.g., exenatide, lixisenatide) were found to have a reduced impact on overnight and fasting blood glucose levels, while long-acting GLP-1 RAs (liraglutide, exenatide once weekly, dulaglutide, and semaglutide) were found to have an increased effect and better coverage on overnight and fasting blood glucose and HbA1c levels [18]
