Oryzanol nourishes the nervous system and promotes sleep. During menopause, declining estrogen levels in the body can lead to autonomic nervous system dysfunction, causing women to experience symptoms such as hot flashes, irritability, mood swings, and heightened suspicion. Since oryzanol helps regulate autonomic nervous system function, it can alleviate discomfort associated with menopause. Menopause is a natural physiological transition that all women undergo; therefore, maintaining a positive mindset, staying relaxed, and actively participating in beneficial group activities are recommended.
