BIOHM Health was founded by Dr. Ghannoum, the scientist who named the mycobiome, and one of the world's leading experts in medically important fungus and microbiome sequencing. Dr. Ghannoum's scientific research has resulted in over 400 peer reviewed scientific papers and his publications have been cited over 18,000 times. After making the breakthrough discovery that bad bacteria and bad fungus work together to create digestive imbalance, Dr. Ghannoum realized that today's probiotics and microbiome tests had not been engineered to specifically address the role fungus plays in digestive health. As a result, he created BIOHM: The first company that addresses the gut's total microbiome of both bacteria and fungus. Looking to power your food or beverage with BIOHM Probiotics?
