Founded by a team of PhD scientists from institutions such as Johns Hopkins, Harvard, Berkeley and Stanford, Pendulum has built a reputation on “rigorous research and clinically studied strains,” according to the company. The brand was the first bring live Akkermansia muciniphila (AKK)—a keystone strain gaining attention for its role in gut health and metabolism—to market in the U.S.
Pendulum is now the top gastrointestinal (GI) doctor-recommended brand of AKK-based probiotics with more than 30,000 medical professionals recommending Pendulum products to their patients, the company stated. Its formulations are rooted in cutting-edge microbiome science and designed to support metabolism, gut barrier health and healthy blood sugar.
“Many people assume that a slowdown in metabolism and energy is just an inevitable part of aging—but it doesn’t have to be,” said Colleen Cutcliffe, PhD, co-founder and CEO of Pendulum. “More than ever, people are looking for ways to feel vibrant, energized, and in control of their health as they age. At Pendulum, we’ve spent over a decade developing clinically backed products designed to improve health outcomes through the microbiome. We’re excited to make these solutions more accessible than ever through our partnership with Sprouts.”
