Ali Rıza Akın

Ali Rıza Akın, a distinguished microbiologist with over 25 years of experience, began his scientific career in Northern California's Silicon Valley, focusing on human microbiota, next-generation probiotics, and host-microbe relationships. Over the past decade, he has led the team that first discovered dozens of next-generation bacteria worldwide.

Akın's extensive knowledge and expertise have been instrumental in guiding Next-Microbiome's mission to develop new-generation probiotics. He is one of the authors of the book 'Bacterial Therapy of Cancer' alongside the world's leading scientists.

His research has been conducted in collaboration with prestigious institutions including UCLA, Imperial College of London, University of Manchester, University of Groningen, University College Cork, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and Novartis Biomedical Research Institute. With patents registered in Europe, Japan, and the United States, he has also filed applications for 'Treatment of Metabolic Diseases with Next-Generation Bacteria'.

Akın has developed systems focused on Akkermansia and Christensenella, the most renowned next-generation probiotics, and has pioneered high-efficacy products for appetite control, insulin resistance elimination, weight loss, stress-depression elimination, and menstrual pain relief. These products were first launched in Turkey and became available through private health insurance in the United States in 2022.

His latest project involves working with hundreds of next-generation probiotic strains within a single product concept, planning to end fecal transplantation worldwide. Through his Anaerobic Microbiology research, Ali Rıza Akın continues to open new horizons for human health in the 21st century.

Our philosophy & mission

We believe that 'Healthy Microbiota, Healthy Human' is the foundation of well-being. Our mission is to make this goodness accessible to more people, starting from the goodness that begins with breast milk.

We understand that the microbiota is vital for our health. Maintaining a healthy microbiota creates a state of overall 'goodness' that spreads throughout the body, starting from our intestines. At Next-Microbiome, we call this 'Goodness from Within' and focus all our work on multiplying this goodness.

In all our holistic microbiota support products, we combine next-generation probiotics like Akkermansia muciniphila with traditional probiotics like Bifidobacterium to increase diversity. We carefully ensure that probiotics work in harmony in each product, supporting our formulations with prebiotics that probiotics need to feed on, and ancient plants that humanity has used for tens of thousands of years.

Founded in Silicon Valley, Northern California, USA, our core research area is human microbiota and next-generation probiotic bacteria. We work at the heart of science and innovation, with a mission to contribute to a healthy future. We work to better understand the human microbiota, develop pioneering products in this field, and share the key to a healthy life with wider audiences.

Our research & development

At Next-Microbiome, we combine scientific rigor with innovative thinking to develop products that harness the power of beneficial bacteria for human health.

Microbiome Research

We dive deep into understanding the complex world of microorganisms, conducting extensive research on next-generation probiotics and their interactions with human health. Our research focuses on bacteria like Akkermansia and Christensenella that play vital roles in maintaining gut health.

Product Development

Based on our research insights, we develop comprehensive formulations that combine probiotics, prebiotics, and botanical ingredients. Our products are designed to support gut barrier function, reduce inflammation, and improve metabolic health through natural, science-backed solutions.

Global Partnerships

We collaborate with leading research institutions including UCLA, Imperial College of London, University of Manchester, University of Groningen, University College Cork, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and Novartis Biomedical Research Institute to advance microbiome science.

Quality Formulation

Our formulations are carefully crafted to ensure probiotics work in harmony. We combine next-generation probiotics with traditional ones, supported by prebiotics and ancient botanical ingredients that humanity has trusted for thousands of years.

A Focus of Akın's Research

The Miracle Akkermansia

Ali Rıza Akın's research has focused significantly on Akkermansia bacteria, a unique microbe that plays a vital role in maintaining gut health. Akkermansia is known for its ability to strengthen the gut barrier, reduce inflammation, and improve metabolic health.

Akkermansia muciniphila, discovered nearly 20 years ago at Wageningen University, has been proven through countless studies to have miraculous effects on human health. While Bifidobacterium family members provide 1 unit of protection against cancer, Akkermansia family members protect individuals dozens of times more and simultaneously fight cancer by activating the body's defense system.

Akkermansia bacteria

Strengthens Gut Barrier

Akkermansia helps maintain the integrity of the gut lining, protecting against harmful substances.

Reduces Inflammation

This beneficial bacterium plays a crucial role in modulating inflammatory responses in the body.

Improves Metabolic Health

Research shows Akkermansia supports healthy metabolism and insulin sensitivity.

Boosts Immunity

By supporting gut health, Akkermansia contributes to overall immune system function.
