Here you will find a selection of useful resources which cover the science behind the gut microbiota, probiotics, and health.
The gut microbiome could be considered as ‘the conductor of health’, orchestrating with organs and systems in the human body, via different axes, to maintain homeostasis and optimal health. The gut is connected to many parts of the body from the brain to the immune system. These resources cover the various connections that exist between the gut and various systems around the body.

Developed in partnership with researchers at the University of Aberdeen, the Skills Series covers the basics of identifying bacteria in microbiology and probiotic research.
Research highlighting the importance of gender differences in epidemiology, pathophysiology, and treatment of various health conditions is emerging year on year. However, there is still a reported discrepancy in the presentation of genders in health studies, including research into the female gut microbiota. We have produced a series of resources outlining the science of the female gut microbiota.
