The Microbiome Research Journal

This is where we share the latest peer-reviewed science we are following on the gut microbiome and whole-body wellness - mood, anxiety, metabolism, immunity, and skin. These are third-party studies indexed on PubMed, shared here as research we are reading. They are wellness context, not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Curious what your own gut is telling you? Flore (formerly Sun Genomics) turns your gut-microbiome data into a formula built for you.

Research we are following in precision microbiome & neurobiome science. Auto-updated weekly from PubMed. Last updated September 14, 2026.
