Gut Microbiome Balance

Meaning

Gut Microbiome Balance refers to the optimal diversity, composition, and functional stability of the vast, symbiotic community of microorganisms residing within the human gastrointestinal tract. A balanced state, often termed eubiosis, is characterized by a high proportion of beneficial bacteria and a minimal presence of pathogenic organisms. This equilibrium is fundamental for nutrient assimilation, immune system maturation, and the synthesis of essential metabolites. Maintaining this balance is crucial for systemic health and the integrity of the gut-brain axis.
