Gut microbiota and
homeostasis and health
The gut microbiota
has profound effects on the health and wellness of the host.
The human intestine
is lined by epithelial cells that process nutrients and provide the first line
of defense against food antigens and pathogens. Approximately one-sixth of
intestinal epithelial cells are shed (exfoliated) daily.
This corresponds to
the daily exfoliation of 108 to 1010 cells.
