What is Dysbiosis?

Dysbiosis is an imbalance in the community of microorganisms that live in your body, especially in your gut. Your gut microbiome consists of trillions of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microbes that normally help with digestion, immunity, and overall health.

When the balance of these microbes is disrupted—too many “bad” microbes or too few “good” ones—dysbiosis occurs. This imbalance can affect digestion, immunity, metabolism, and even mental health.
