Vestigial Organ or Microbiome Safehouse?
Poor appendix. Not only is it a vestigial organ, it often gets cut out and thrown away. But recent studies have shown that the appendix isn’t the useless bag that we thought it was. It actually houses beneficial gut bacteria that help us break down food. Guess it’s not so useless after all! Purchase our appendix necklace for someone who has lost there, someone who got to keep theirs, gastroenterologists, or starry-eyed, pre-med students ready to do some light surgery.
