Home To Trillions Of Small Friends

Many people think the gut is sort of gross. It’s filled with a slurry of partially digested food and at the end of the tunnel, poop. But your gut is so much more than a long, winding hole running through your body. The large intestines are home to trillions of bacteria. They not only help produce necessary nutrients and vitamins, but they also talk to your brain via chemical signals going up the vagus nerve. If you’ve ever wondered why your gut feeling seems to always be so spot on, then look no further than the microscopic residents there. Own that feeling in your gut by owning a GI tract necklace from us. It’s a reminder to always follow your instincts. Plus, this piece makes a great gift for gastroenterologists, microbiologists, immunologists, and starry-eyed pre-med students.
