The microbiome and its effects on health are currently on everyone's lips, literally, but the majority of these trillions of microorganisms can be found in the intestines. These bacteria in particular are essential for our survival, as they are involved in the production of important vitamins, messenger substances, etc. by breaking down our food. As a result, the microbiome even influences our brain and is even referred to as a second brain. Did you also know that the microbiome is largely responsible for a functioning immune system? A large number of studies now point to this. #mirkobiom #gutflora #bacteria Cited studies: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32422... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31042... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33796... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33336... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33785...
