The gut encompasses everything from your mouth to your anus.
Your liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and gastrointestinal tract (GI tract) makes up your digestive system.1
Your body requires certain nutrients and energy to survive. Luckily your digestive system is uniquely constructed to turn the food you eat into what your body needs.2
The microbiome is the collection of all microbes, such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, and their genes, that naturally live on our bodies and inside us.3
Microbes are organisms that can only been seen using a microscope. They include things like bacteria, archaea, and single cell eukaryotes (cells that have a nucleus).4 Microbes contribute in big ways to human health and wellness.
