Did you know that the human gut is host to trillions of bacteria. Estimates put the number of different types of micro-organisms in the gut at 400 and the total number of bacterial cells at 1 x 10¹⁴ ; a figure which exceeds the total number of human beings in the world.

These bacteria form the basis of your health, protecting against microbial and parasitic attack, keeping your Digestive and Immune Systems in prime health and ensuring optimal digestion and absorption of food. 

As well as the beneficial bacteria there are harmful pathogenic organisms. When these groups get out of balance in the intestine "Gut Dysbiosis" occurs.
