The gut microbiome changes with age, losing populations that produce beneficial metabolites, and gaining populations that produce chronic inflammation and other harms. There are many possible contributions to this process of aging, but it is unclear as to which of them are important. It has been shown in animal studies that performing fecal microbiota transplantation from young to old individuals restores a more youthful gut microbiome for an extended period of time, improving health and extending life span.
