The Claim
Approximately 70–80% of the body’s immune cells and lymphoid tissue are localized in the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT), which interfaces directly with the intestinal lumen and microbiota.
What the research says
Not yet evaluated
We are still looking at what the research says.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Most of your body’s immune system—about 70 to 80%—is hanging out in your gut, right where it can meet and talk to the trillions of bacteria living there.
