Value proposition

Sharing knowledge and promoting debate about the gut microbiota and its importance for our health and quality of life.

Launched in 2012 by the Gut Microbiota and Health section of the European Society for Neurogastroenterology and Motility (ESNM), the "Gut Microbiota for Health "​ platform’s mission is to share knowledge and to promote debate around gut microbiota. Our goal is to raise recognition and interest on the gut’s bacterial community and its importance for our health and quality of life.

With more than 145,000 members around the globe, our platform has become an international point of reference for gut microbiota information and debate. We encourage contributions and interactions from readers and followers, on our website and our social media channels (Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and LinkedIn).

Visit our website (www.gutmicrobiotaforhealth,com) and subscribe to our newsletters to stay up to date with the latest news around the amazing world of gut microbiota.

Gut microbiota (formerly called gut flora) is the name given today to the microbe population living in our intestines. It contains hundreds of trillions of microorganisms. One third of our gut microbiota is common to most of the people, while two thirds are specific to each one of us. In other words, the intestinal microbiota is a sort of individual identity card. While each of us has a unique microbiota, it fulfills the same physiological functions that have a direct impact in our health:
