is a period during which women undergo dramatic hormonal changes. These changes lead to physical and mental discomfort, are greatly afflictive, and critically affect women\u2019s lives. However, the current safe and effective management measures for women undergoing menopause are insufficient. Several probiotic functions of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have been recognized, including alleviation of lactose intolerance, protection of digestive tract health, activation of the immune system, protection against infections, improvement of nutrient uptake, and improvement of the microbiota. In this review, we highlight the currently available knowledge of the potential protective effects of LAB on preventing or mitigating menopausal symptoms, particularly in terms of maintaining balance in the vaginal microbiota, reducing bone loss, and regulating the nervous system and lipid metabolism. Given the increasing number of women entering menopause and the emphasis on the management of menopausal symptoms, LAB are likely to soon become an indispensable part of clinical\/daily care for menopausal women. Herein, we do not intend to provide a comprehensive analysis of each menopausal disorder or to specifically judge the reliability and safety of complementary therapies; rather, we aim to highlight the potential roles of LAB in individualized treatment strategies for the clinical management of menopause.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu14214466","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,24]],"date-time":"2022-10-24T10:09:23Z","timestamp":1666606163000},"page":"4466","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Lactic Acid Bacteria: A Promising Tool for Menopausal Health Management in Women"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Qian","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Food Science and Technology, Jiangnan University, Wuxi 214122, China"},{"name":"School of Food Science and Technology, Jiangnan University, Wuxi 214122, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Haojue","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Wuxi Xishan People\u2019s Hospital, Wuxi 214105, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gang","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Food Science and Technology, Jiangnan University, Wuxi 214122, China"},{"name":"School of Food Science and Technology, Jiangnan University, Wuxi 214122, China"},{"name":"National Engineering Research Center for Functional Food, Jiangnan University, Wuxi 214122, China"},{"name":"Yangzhou Institute of Food Biotechnology, Jiangnan University, Yangzhou 225004, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jianxin","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Food Science and Technology, Jiangnan University, Wuxi 214122, China"},{"name":"School of Food Science and Technology, Jiangnan University, Wuxi 214122, China"},{"name":"National Engineering Research Center for Functional Food, Jiangnan University, Wuxi 214122, China"},{"name":"Yangzhou Institute of Food Biotechnology, Jiangnan University, Yangzhou 225004, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Haiqin","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Food Science and Technology, Jiangnan University, Wuxi 214122, China"},{"name":"School of Food Science and Technology, Jiangnan University, Wuxi 214122, China"},{"name":"National Engineering Research Center for Functional Food, Jiangnan University, Wuxi 214122, China"},{"name":"Yangzhou Institute of Food Biotechnology, Jiangnan University, Yangzhou 225004, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xianyi","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Wuxi Xishan People\u2019s Hospital, Wuxi 214105, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Food Science and Technology, Jiangnan University, Wuxi 214122, China"},{"name":"School of Food Science and Technology, Jiangnan University, Wuxi 214122, China"},{"name":"National Engineering Research Center for Functional Food, Jiangnan University, Wuxi 214122, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"18","DOI":"10.1177\/0004563217739930","article-title":"Biochemistry of the menopause","volume":"55","author":"Honour","year":"2018","journal-title":"Ann.
