The delayed-release HPMC capsule is specifically engineered to protect the live Akkermansia muciniphila organisms from stomach acid and oxygen exposure, delivering them intact to the intestine where they can colonize. Opening the capsule would bypass this protection, expose the live bacteria to oxygen and stomach acid, and significantly reduce efficacy.
