Getting down to the core of the problem: Microbiota and diseases of the modern world
Its depths are teeming with life, an ancient and complex ecosystem that we don’t fully know or understand. Over thousands of years, this community has evolved to ward off pathogenic microorganisms, participate in digestion, synthesize essential nutrients and train the immune system. However, it seems that a fragile balance has been damaged, and it’s probably affecting our health.
