What is the gut microbiome?Updated 6 months ago

The gut microbiome is a community of 38 trillion microorganisms (hence our name, 38TERA) in the digestive tract that play a vital role in digestion, immune function, and overall health. These microbes help break down our food, produce essential nutrients like short chain fatty acids, protect against harmful pathogens, and even influence our metabolism, hormonal balance, brain health and mood. Maintaining a balanced gut microbiome is crucial for optimal health.
