Summary

This study looks at whether a prebiotic supplement (Bimuno®) can lower stress and improve mental health in healthy adults aged 25-40 who feel mild to moderate stress. For 6 weeks, participants take either the prebiotic or a placebo and complete questionnaires, cognitive tests, and saliva samples to measure stress hormones. The goal is to see if prebiotics can be a simple, natural way to support stress management.
