The human microbiome is a vast ecosystem of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, viruses, and archaea, that live in and on the body, playing a crucial role in digestion, immunity, and overall health.
A diverse and balanced microbiome supports nutrient absorption, protects against harmful pathogens, and influences mental well-being through the gut-brain axis. Understanding and nurturing the microbiome through diet, lifestyle, and probiotics can enhance health and prevent disease.
