The unique signatures of the aging gut and what it means for health
Gut microbiome ‘signatures’ in older adults appear to be distinct from those seen in young people. But how is this linked to health and longevity?
Gave a talk at Probiota in Copenhagen earlier in the year, and @nutraingredients.bsky.social did a short interview on what I spoke about: the human gut microbiome and healthy aging www.nutraingredients.com/Article/2025...
