There has been a dramatic increase in the amount of research being conducted on the gut microbiome over the last 10 years. The microbiome comprises all of the genetic material within a microbiota (the entire collection of microorganisms in the human gut, mouth, or on your skin). More than a trillion, mostly good, microbes live within our gastrointestinal tract. These bacteria are responsible for important metabolic, immune and nutritional functions.
