The goal of this research protocol is to evaluate whether supplementation with: synbiotics (probiotics with agave inulin), synbiotics with vitamid D or prebiotics (agave inulin) can reduce cognitive decline in patients with breast cancer undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy. It will also assess the safety of these supplements. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does supplementation with synbiotics and prebiotics decrease cognitive decline in participants? What adverse effects do participants experience while taking these supplements? Are there significant changes in inflammation markers (calprotectin and C-reactive protein) before and after treatment? Participants will: Receive either synbiotics, prebiotics or none daily for 4 months. Undergo cognitive assessments using the CERAD neuropsychological battery at the beginning and end of the study. Provide blood and stool samples for analysis of inflammation markers. Report any adverse effects experienced during the supplementation period.
