Pendulum Akkermansia Probiotics Australia
Pendulum is a science-led probiotic company best known for its work with Akkermansia muciniphila, a next-generation gut bacterium studied for its role in metabolic and gut health.
Pendulum specialises in strain-specific, targeted probiotics developed by doctors and scientists from leading research institutions, including Johns Hopkins and Harvard-affiliated researchers. Their formulations focus on specific metabolic and microbiome pathways rather than broad, general probiotic blends.
Akkermansia has attracted attention because it interacts closely with the gut lining and metabolic signalling pathways, making it a point of interest in research on gut integrity, insulin sensitivity, and metabolic resilience.
At Fairfield, we stock a curated range of Pendulum products in Australia, selected for formulation quality, clinical relevance, and suitability for thoughtful, targeted use.
All Pendulum products listed here are stocked locally in Australia and supplied in original manufacturer packaging — with no international drop-shipping or grey-market sourcing.
What makes Pendulum different
Research-driven probiotic development
Pendulum products are developed with a strong emphasis on:
- human clinical research
- strain-specific formulation
- mechanistic understanding of gut–metabolic pathways
Rather than combining many generic strains, Pendulum focuses on a small number of well-characterised organisms chosen for their functional roles and tolerability.
Live Akkermansia technology
Pendulum is one of the few companies globally able to offer a live Akkermansia probiotic in a shelf-stable capsule format, supported by human research.
This is significant because Akkermansia is a naturally oxygen-sensitive organism that has historically been difficult to stabilise and deliver effectively.
How to think about using Pendulum probiotics
Pendulum products are best understood as targeted microbiome tools, layered on top of solid nutritional and lifestyle foundations rather than used as general daily probiotics.
They tend to be most appropriate when:
- metabolic or glucose regulation is a priority
- gut health is being explored through a strain-specific lens
- a focused, reassessable intervention is preferred
Because these probiotics are pathway-specific and biologically active, starting conservatively and assessing response is usually the most sensible approach.

🟡 Targeted Pendulum probiotics
Best suited to specific metabolic and microbiome pathways
All Pendulum products fall into the targeted category. They are not intended as foundational probiotics, but rather as precise tools used with a clear purpose.
The Pendulum products we stock in Australia are commonly selected to support areas such as:
- Gut lining and microbiome integrity (Akkermansia-focused formulations)
- Metabolic and glucose regulation (including carbohydrate handling and insulin signalling)
- Appetite and metabolic signalling pathways (GLP-1-related mechanisms)
- Polyphenol utilisation and microbiome interaction
These products are typically:
- introduced with a specific rationale
- used alongside broader dietary and lifestyle foundations
- reviewed over time rather than taken indefinitely by default
Why buy Pendulum from Fairfield
- Australian-based, stocked locally — dispatched from Melbourne
- Fast shipping on in-stock items
- Carefully curated range rather than the full catalogue
- Clear, conservative guidance — focused on understanding, not hype
Our role isn’t just to supply probiotics, but to help people use targeted microbiome tools with clarity, intention, and confidence.
