Also known as intestinal flora, gut microbiota are microorganisms that live inside your intestine. They facilitate digestion, support vitamin synthesis, as well as protect the body from harmful pathogens. Numerous daily triggers can affect your intestinal flora balance, and when they do, you become susceptible to gut discomfort.
