Product Line:

• Glucose Control: This flagship product is formulated to help manage blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes. It contains a proprietary blend of beneficial bacterial strains, including Akkermansia muciniphila, Clostridium butyricum, Clostridium beijerinckii, Anaerobutyricum hallii, and Bifidobacterium infantis. These strains work synergistically to restore butyrate production and support the gut mucin lining, which in turn stimulates the release of GLP-1, a hormone that enhances insulin secretion and regulates blood glucose levels. ​

• Akkermansia: This product focuses on delivering the Akkermansia muciniphila strain, known for its role in maintaining a healthy gut lining and supporting metabolic health.Metabolic Daily: Designed to aid in the metabolism of sugars and carbohydrates, this daily probiotic supports digestive health and a balanced immune system.​

A multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial evaluated Pendulum's Glucose Control formulation in individuals with type 2 diabetes. The 12-week study demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in postprandial glucose levels and a trend toward lower A1C levels in participants receiving the five-strain probiotic blend compared to placebo.
