At SupplySide Global 2025, AKK PROBIO—submitted by Maypro Industries—took center stage as the Ingredient Idol winner for Weight Management, reinforcing its position as one of the most promising metabolic health ingredients in today’s supplement market. Developed by Thankcome Biotechnology, AKK PROBIO features a proprietary strain of Akkermansia muciniphila available in both probiotic and postbiotic forms. Clinical research presented at the event demonstrated significant improvements in weight, lipid metabolism, liver function and gut microbiome composition. Its ability to promote GLP-1 release and address two major consumer trends—gut health and metabolic wellness—helped secure the win. While other categories recognized Oli-Ola and TestFACTOR, judges emphasized that AKK PROBIO stood out for its strong scientific substantiation and well-defined mechanism of action.
