Most of the microbes in your intestines are found in your large intestine in an area called the cecum, and they are referred to as the GUT MICROBIOME

According to recent research, scientist estimate that here are more than 100 Trillion cells in your body. There are roughly 37.2% of human cells and the rest are believed to be bacterial cells giving a ratio in your body of 3 to 1 of bacterial cells over human. What this means is that you are more bacteria than human!!!!

There are over 1,000 species of bacteria in the human gut microbiome, and each of them plays a different role in your body. Most of them are extremely important for your health including supporting immune, brain and digestive health, while others may cause disease and are termed pathogenic bacteria.
