What is a microbiome?

Your gut microbiome is a massive community of trillions of tiny organisms, mostly bacteria, living inside your digestive system. These microbes play a vital role in breaking down food, producing vitamins, and even influencing your immune system. The story touches on how a diverse range of these microbes is often linked to better health.
