This study evaluates the impact of probiotic supplementation, with or without physical activity, on the health of healthy women. Participants will be randomized into four groups: those receiving probiotics with physical activity, probiotics without physical activity, placebo with physical activity, and placebo without physical activity. The study will involve medical examinations, microbiota and salivary sample collections, and assessments of mental and physical health over a six-week follow-up period. The aim is to explore how these interventions affect body composition and overall health.
