Unicity Probionic Plus ~ Building a Robust, Healthy Gut Ecosystem (scroll to begin)

Twin studies have shown that, although there is a heritable component to gut microbiota, environmental factors related to diet, drugs, and anthropometric measures are larger determinants of microbiota composition.

Gut microbes are key to many aspects of human health including immune, metabolic and neurobehavioural traits. Different levels of evidence support the role of gut microbiota in human health, from animal models and human studies.

Microbiota diversity and health

Lower bacterial diversity has been reproducibly observed in people with inflammatory bowel disease psoriatic arthritis, type 1 diabetes, atopic eczema, coeliac disease, obesity type 2 diabetes, and arterial stiffness, than in healthy controls. In Crohn’s disease smokers have even lower gut microbiome diversity.

The association between reduced diversity and disease indicates that a species-rich gut ecosystem is more robust against environmental influences, as functionally related microbes in an intact ecosystem can compensate for the function of other missing species. Consequently, diversity seems to be a generally good indicator of a “healthy gut.

The functional role of the gut microbiome in humans has been shown using faecal microbiota transplantation.
