Microbiome Essentials

The microbiome is a complex ecosystem primarily concentrated in the gut, housing a diverse array of microbes, including beneficial bacteria like bifidobacterium and lactobacillus. While many are familiar with harmful bacteria such as E. coli, the majority of these microbes play a crucial role in our health and survival. Additionally, archaea, ancient organisms found in extreme environments, are just beginning to be understood in the context of human health.
