This randomized controlled double-blind clinical trial is aimed to study the effect of oral use of lyophilized royal jelly for 4 weeks on immune system cytokine levels and cognitive functions in individuals aged 50-80 years without any neurological disease diagnosis

Primary outcome measures are the Mini-Mental State Examination the Alzheimers Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale and the Geriatric Depression Scale

Secondary outcome measures are serum interleukin-1β interleukin-6 interleukin-10 tumor necrosis factor-α and transforming growth factor-β levels
