The gut microbiome consists of trillions of bacteria, viruses and fungi that live in the digestive tract. It plays a key role in almost every aspect of human health.

Gut health is closely linked to the gut microbiome, a vital collection of microorganisms, also known as microbes, that live in your intestinal tract and include trillions of bacteria, fungi and viruses. Our gut works with the immune system to keep the body healthy. While some microbes are associated with disease, others are beneficial and essential to a healthy body.
The most common symptoms of an unhealthy gut are an upset stomach, sleep disturbances, skin irritation, autoimmune conditions, and food intolerance. Many factors, such as the food we eat and our stress levels, as well as lack of sleep and antibiotic use, can have an impact on our gut health and immune system, which is important for cancer prevention as well as protecting the body from potentially harmful substances and germs. An imbalance in our gut microbiome can lead to health problems and, if untreated, chronic conditions.
