Probiotic BC99 shows promise for faster muscle recovery in healthy adults

This study tested whether a probiotic called Weizmannia coagulans BC99 can help healthy young adults recover from exercise-induced muscle damage. 72 physically active college students took either the probiotic or a placebo, and researchers measured pain levels and blood markers of inflammation and recovery. The goal was to see if the probiotic could ease muscle soreness and speed up recovery after intense exercise.
