Abstract
The human body is home to numerous microorganisms that colonize the skin, gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract, genitourinary tract, oral cavity, and other areas. These microorganisms work together to create a complex micro-ecosystem, with the intestinal tract housing the most of them. There are positive effects of a healthy gut micro biota on immune system activity in addition to the thyroid function. Thyroid hormones and thyroid function overall benefited from probiotic supplementation. The effect of gut micro biota on thyroid function and diseases would need to be examined in future human studies with sufficient power.
