There is a whole living world around us, and ON us, that we cannot see...

Microbes (microscopic organisms) such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi are on every surface of this planet, including you.

Microbes form the very basis of life on earth. You and every other living being utterly depend on these tiny microbes for your survival, your health, and your wellbeing.

Groups of microbes working together are termed the microbiome. Humans have their very own microbiomes within the gut and on the skin's surface.

Alongside lifestyle and genetics, the microbiome is recognised as one of the foundational pillars of human health. So looking after it is very important indeed!
