Timeline (last 90 days)
There exists a bidirectional signaling pathway between the gut and the brain known as the gut-brain axis.
Approximately 90% of serotonin is produced by the gut.
The concept of the 'gut-brain axis' is supported by a considerable body of peer-reviewed research, with gut microbial diversity linked to immune function, metabolic health, and even mood regulation.
