As you know we LOVE our magnesium, so we will give an honorable mention to our mineral bestie. Magnesium supplementation has been shown to improve microbiota richness, both increasing the abundance of Bifidobacterium (the 007 of this story) and decreasing the abundance of Enterobacteriaceae (the bad guys).
Bifidobacterium is a genus of bacteria is linked to increased immunity, helping digest fiber, preventing infections, and producing important compounds, such as B vitamins and healthy fatty acids
Enterobacteriaceae on the other hand include unwanted guests like E. Choli, Salmonella, Yersinia, etc. These bacterias are some of the most common suspects of foodborne illness. Definitely NOT something you want to be cultivating in your gut.
Aaaand now you can go eat that celery.
