The influence of the gut microbiome on human health is immense.

A high diversity of the body's own healthy gut bacteria is associated with a reduced occurrence of disease-causing, pathogenic germs in the intestine. This diversity is diminished by a one-sided diet, chronic stress, or frequent antibiotic use.

In a poorly functioning gut with increased intestinal permeability, many diseases can take their start. Typical, common symptoms include irritable bowel syndrome, nonspecific abdominal pain and digestive disorders, food intolerances, as well as leaky gut syndrome. It is also noteworthy that microbiome-related diseases do not have to be localized solely in the gut. They can occur in many other organs. Allergies or autoimmune diseases such as diabetes mellitus, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto's, and others can be the consequences of an unhealthy or overly restricted microbiome.

A healthy gut flora is also essential for a well-functioning immune system.

By using a differentiated microbiome analysis to determine the composition of the gut flora, individualized diagnostics can be performed. Consequently, a specifically targeted treatment involving gut rehabilitation through the intake of probiotics and other gut-supporting products can lead to sustainable gut health.
