The 100 trillion microorganisms living in your gut.
The gut microbiome is the community of microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi) inhabiting the digestive tract. It counts about 100 trillion microorganisms.
A balanced microbiome ferments fibers into short-chain fatty acids, synthesizes vitamins (K, B12), modulates the immune system and protects against pathogens. Dysbiosis is associated with obesity, inflammatory diseases and mood disorders via the gut-brain axis.
Ferment fibers, synthesize vitamins, regulate immunity, protect the intestinal lining.
Feed the microbiome with varied fiber (25-30g/day), fermented foods, and limit unnecessary antibiotics.
The microbiome is a full-fledged organ — feeding it correctly is one of the best health investments.
