Microbiome Balance

Meaning

Microbiome balance, clinically termed eubiosis, represents a state of optimal functional stability, ecological diversity, and appropriate relative abundance within the host’s commensal microbial communities, particularly those residing in the gastrointestinal tract. This equilibrium is fundamentally essential for numerous host physiological processes, including the effective digestion and absorption of nutrients, proper immune system maturation, and the synthesis of vital regulatory metabolites. A sustained deviation from this balanced state, known as dysbiosis, is now strongly linked to chronic inflammatory, metabolic, and endocrine disorders.
