Menopause is a physiological stage that the human body must go through, and most people do not experience obvious symptoms during this period. However, some women during the menopause stage (40-55 years old) experience certain symptoms in the cardiovascular system, nervous system, mental system, metabolism, etc., collectively known as menopausal syndrome. As for the cause of the disease, it is generally believed that when a person reaches a certain age, the ovaries decline, the hormones secreted by the ovaries decrease, and the feedback effect on the hypothalamus-pituitary gland is lost, resulting in hyperpituitarism, which affects various endocrine system dysfunctions, causing cardiovascular instability, metabolic disorders, autonomic nervous system disorders, etc. But there are different explanations, and this issue still needs further in-depth research.

Japanese medical doctor Keiichi Matsushita discovered through a large number of clinical observations and consumption cases that royal jelly has obvious effects on menopausal syndrome. Middle-aged and elderly people can take royal jelly to delay the onset of menopause and significantly reduce or even eliminate the symptoms of menopausal syndrome. Royal jelly can have such an effect, first of all, because royal jelly can regulate and balance the body's metabolism. In addition, royal jelly contains natural ingredients that can relieve menopausal symptoms, such as glutamic acid, pantothenic acid, vitamins B1, B2, B6, A, E, etc.
