Abstract
The gut microbiome refers to the intestinal community of microbes that help to maintain and influence health. This community includes trillions of microbes from more than a thousand bacterial species. As a supraorganism vital to human well-being and survival, the microbiome has developed alongside humans. According to Velasquez-Manoff, “our intestinal community of microbes calibrates our immune and metabolic function, and its corruption or depletion can increase the risk of chronic diseases.”
