The human gut is inhabited by a community of approximately 37 trillion different micro-organisms, mostly bacteria, but also fungi and viruses. These micro-organisms make up the gut microbiome.
Most micro-organisms in the gut are beneficial and play an important role in digesting food, metabolising vitamins and maintaining your body’s health. A diverse microbiome is essential for maintaining a healthy gut and a healthy body as a whole.
Your gut microbiome community is affected by lifestyle and environmental factors. A long-term absence or imbalance of certain bacteria can lead to health problems such as obesity, digestive problems and autoimmune diseases.
