      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Triple blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Randomization was performed by permuted block randomization method using size 6 blocks by Stata statistical software version 16. To conceal the random assignment process, 10-digit random codes are written on 64 paper labels without a specific order and framework, which is the relevant treatment identification number, and only one person outside the design will be aware of the code. Labels will be affixed to drug packages in a random order list, Blinding description: Drugs and placebo are given to both groups in completely identical, unlabeled containers, which are prepared and coded in the same color and odor, by random allocation by the design partner, so neither patient is aware of the specific treatment and will not be informed until the end of the study. Also, the researcher evaluating the desired outcomes is unaware of the random allocation process and the type of treatment performed. In order to analyze the data, a statistician and epidemiologist who is separate from the study process and is unaware of all the processes performed will be used.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: The intervention group will receive one tablet of Royal Jelly (containing 1000 mg of Royal Jelly powder) daily after breakfast for 12 weeks. Royal Jelly supplement will be provided by Koozeh Asal Aria Company (Iran-Isfahan). Intervention 2: Control group: The control group will receive a placebo daily supplement that is similar in shape, color, taste, and smell to the supplement. The placebo will be provided by Koozeh Asal Aria Company (Iran-Isfahan).</i_freetext>
