Summary
This study tested whether taking royal jelly (a bee product) as a daily supplement for 4 weeks could improve memory and thinking in healthy adults aged 55-70. Researchers measured cognitive test scores and blood markers of inflammation. The goal was to see if royal jelly's anti-inflammatory properties might protect the aging brain.
