What is the microbiota?

The microbiota refers to all the microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, parasites, and non-pathogenic fungi) present in a specific environment. The microbiota is present in the skin, mouth, and stomach. The largest is the intestinal microbiota, which is mainly located in the small intestine and colon. It plays a role in digestive, metabolic, and immune functions.

An individual's microbiota is formed from birth under the influence of dietary diversification, genetics, hygiene levels, and the environment. It then develops throughout life based on dietary habits and lifestyle. Having an unbalanced lifestyle can impact the quality of the intestinal microbiota, which will then be disrupted and may allow bad bacteria to pass through.

What are the benefits of the microbiota?

The microbiota is essential for an individual's health and well-being. It contributes to the digestion of many foods, protection against infections, and maintenance of a normal immune system.
