gut health
Intestinal flora balance
Gut health refers to the condition and function of the digestive system, particularly the balance of microorganisms living in the intestinal tract.
The term gained currency in wellness culture, where it's linked to digestion, immunity, and even mood: Fermented foods are supposed to improve gut health.
While rooted in legitimate science about the gut microbiome, the phrase often appears in marketing for probiotics and dietary supplements.
