Effects of Scholar Tree Fruit

1. Improves facial flushing
2. Improves insomnia
3. Reduces headaches

Hello, I am Jinny, a pharmacist.

Today, I would like to introduce the scholar tree fruit, which is attracting attention as a health ingredient for menopausal women, following isoflavones. Scholar tree, known as a tree that wards off evil spirits, has long been used as medicine, from its flowers and fruits to its bark. Sophoricoside, found in the fruit of the scholar tree, is also a type of isoflavone and is known to help alleviate menopausal symptoms as it is similar to the molecular structure of estrogen.

Today, through research papers that studied the effect of consuming scholar tree fruit extract on relieving menopausal symptoms, we will see what symptoms it can help improve.

1. Improves Facial Flushing

Facial flushing is the most common menopausal symptom experienced by many women. After menopause, as estrogen secretion decreases, body temperature regulation becomes impaired, and even a small rise in body temperature causes blood vessels to dilate, causing a flushed body and facial flushing.

Research results have shown that when consuming fruit of scholar tree, the sophoricoside in the fruit has a similar function to estrogen and relieves facial flushing symptoms.

“Interestingly, the Rexflavon (Scholar tree fruit extract) group showed a significant effect on 4 out of 11 symptoms, including facial flushing, insomnia, fatigue, and headache, after 12 weeks.”

(2010) The effect of rexflavone (Sophorae Fructus Extract) on menopausal symptoms in postmenopausal women: A randomized double-blind placebo controlled clinical trial. Arch Pharm Res. 33(4):523-30..

2. Improves Insomnia

Another menopausal symptom is insomnia. There are two main reasons for experiencing insomnia after menopause. Vasomotor symptoms, such as night sweats, can make it difficult to get a good night's sleep, leading to insomnia. Or, the balance of the autonomic nervous system is disrupted due to decreased estrogen secretion, causing extreme mood changes. At this time, you may feel anxious and depressed, making it difficult to fall asleep.

In the above study, it was reported that scholar tree fruit was also effective in improving insomnia.

“Interestingly, the Rexflavon (Scholar tree fruit extract) group showed a significant effect on 4 out of 11 symptoms, including facial flushing, insomnia, fatigue, and headache, after 12 weeks.”

3. Reduces Headache

After menopause, women may experience headaches that they never had before and feel uncomfortable in their daily lives. In this regard, studies have shown that scholar tree fruit had a positive effect on relieving headaches in menopausal women.

“Interestingly, the Rexflavon (Scholar tree fruit extract) group showed a significant effect on 4 out of 11 symptoms, including facial flushing, insomnia, fatigue, and headache, after 12 weeks.””

Today, we looked at the benefits of consuming scholar tree fruit in relation to menopausal symptoms. As mentioned earlier, sophoricoside in scholar tree fruit performs a similar function to estrogen in the body. Therefore, those who are sensitive to the estrogen hormone should be careful when consuming it.

I hope you have a healthy day both physically and mentally. This was Jinny.
