Detrimental changes in the gut microbiome might prove to be one of the easier issues to fix in the aging human body. When we talk about an aged gut microbiome, we mean that the balance of microbial populations has shifted. There are more harmful microbes that either produce damaging metabolites or otherwise engage with tissue and the immune system to provoke chronic inflammation. At the same time there are fewer beneficial microbes working to produce metabolites that are necessary for tissue function, such as the <a href=…
