Eubiosis refers to the state of a balanced and healthy gut microbiota, in which the composition and function of the microbial community support normal physiological processes and immune homeostasis.
In eubiosis, the gut microbiota maintains a symbiotic relationship with the host, contributing to nutrient metabolism, synthesis of vitamins, maintenance of gut barrier integrity, and modulation of the immune system.
In contrast dysbiosis, which is characterized by a disruption in the composition or function of the gut microbiota and is associated with various disease states and immune dysregulation.
Eubiosis is essential for optimal gut and systemic health, as it supports the development and regulation of both the innate and adaptive immune systems.
Eubiosis is where the gut microbiota is balanced, with a diverse and stable community of beneficial microorganisms that support normal physiological functions, immune regulation, and protection against pathogens.
This balanced state is associated with health and intestinal homeostasis.
Dysbiosis is the opposite: it describes an imbalance or disruption in the gut microbiota, often marked by a decrease in beneficial microbes and an increase in potentially harmful ones.
Dysbiosis can disturb immune responses and is linked to a range of diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease, infections, metabolic disorders, and even mental health conditions.
