Why carry out this study?

Menopausal women experience a variety of symptoms affecting both their physical appearance and health due to decreased oestrogen levels.

Supplements containing amino acids and vitamins have been reported to have various benefits, but to date there have been no reports on their benefits in menopausal women.

We conducted a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to investigate the usefulness of amino acid supplements for fatigue, menopausal symptoms and age-related skin changes caused by decreased levels of female hormones.

What was learned from this study?

We demonstrated that the vitamin-containing amino acid supplement used in this study can be safely ingested and can improve fatigue, menopausal symptoms and age-related skin changes caused by decreased levels of female hormones.

The vitamin-containing amino acid supplement tested can be expected to prevent menopause-associated health problems and the formation of wrinkles caused by ageing, as well as contribute to improved maintenance of beauty and health.
