Intestinal health
Some diseases affect women much more frequently than men, including osteoarthritis, heart disease, cancer, depression and anxiety disorders. The gut microbiome has been shown to have a major influence on how these diseases develop. The composition of the gut microbiome also varies in numerous specific female conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome, breast, cervical and ovarian cancer, as well as pregnancy, menstruation and menopause(1).
