Why Are Intestinal Bacteria Important?

Our intestines are home to an astonishing community of approximately 100 trillion bacteria, spanning around 1,000 different species. Together, these microorganisms form the intestinal microbiota, a vital ecosystem that influences our overall health.
The bacteria in our gut produce key metabolites, such as short-chain fatty acids, which interact with the body to regulate essential functions including immunity and metabolism. Far from working in isolation, the intestinal microbiota communicates with multiple organs, acting as a natural regulatory system. By supporting these processes, a balanced gut microbiota plays a fundamental role in maintaining a healthy, vibrant lifestyle.
