Pendulum® Probiotics

When it comes to looking and feeling your best, what happens inside your body matters just as much as what happens on the surface. Emerging research continues to show that gut health plays a meaningful role in everything from metabolism and energy to skin clarity and overall wellness. At Coastal Dermatology + Aesthetics, we are excited to offer Pendulum® probiotics, a line of next-generation probiotic supplements designed to support your microbiome with clinically studied, science-backed strains you will not find anywhere else.

What Is Pendulum®?

Pendulum® is a probiotic brand founded by PhD doctors and scientists from institutions including Johns Hopkins, Harvard, UC Berkeley, and Stanford. What sets Pendulum apart from traditional probiotics is its use of targeted, next-generation anaerobic strains, including Akkermansia muciniphila, a keystone bacterium that has been the subject of thousands of scientific publications. These strains are manufactured in a strict, oxygen-free facility in the United States using advanced DNA-sequencing technology. The result is a line of supplements designed to address specific health goals rather than offering one-size-fits-all digestive support.

How Do Pendulum® Probiotics Work?

Traditional probiotics typically contain common strains like Lactobacillus that focus on general digestive comfort. Pendulum® takes a different approach by using anaerobic bacteria that thrive in the deeper, oxygen-free zones of your large intestine, where they can have a more targeted impact on metabolic and gut health. Key strains like Akkermansia muciniphila help reinforce the gut lining, while butyrate-producing strains support the body’s natural production of short-chain fatty acids that nourish colon cells and promote healthy immune function. These processes can influence everything from how your body processes food to how your skin looks and feels. Pendulum® supplements are taken once daily with food, and most people begin to notice changes in their digestive comfort within the first few weeks, with broader metabolic benefits building over the course of about 90 days.

Why Gut Health Through a Dermatology Practice?

You may be wondering why a dermatology practice carries a probiotic supplement. The connection between gut health and skin health, often called the gut-skin axis, is one of the most exciting areas of wellness research today. An imbalanced microbiome has been linked to inflammatory skin conditions, uneven skin tone, and premature aging. By supporting your gut from the inside, you are giving your skin an additional layer of care that complements the treatments we offer at our practice. Our team can help you determine which Pendulum® product may be the best fit for your individual health and wellness goals.
