Gut Microbiota
Our gut microbiota is made of tens of trillions of microorganisms. Each of us have 500-1000 species in our digestive tract. That amounts to over 3 million bacterial genes. That means there are 100-150 x more bacterial genes than human genes, weighing between 3-5 lbs. Most of those organisms are specific to each individual, while about a third are common to all of us.
"Still round the corner there may wait / A new road or a secret gate / And though I oft have passed them by / A day will come at last when I / Shall take the hidden paths that run / West of the Moon, East of the Sun. " - J.R.R. Tolkien

The Microbes Within Us and a Grander View of Life
At any given time,
only about 100-150 microbes predominate or are active. These organisms help us digest our food, produce vitamins such as vitamin B and K, keep our gut lining intact, and keep our immunity in check. Our bacterial diversity is of primary importance to prevent dysbiosis. Our diversity decreases as we age, but is also highly adaptable to our environment, especially the foods we eat or what toxins we are exposed to.
