The objective aimed to evaluate Chinese cabbage (B. rapa) and key lime (C. aurantifolia) juice on bone mass density (BMD) in menopausal women. The study was pre-post control group design conducted in integrated health post. The samples were 32 menopausal women recruited by purposive sampling. The beverage can be prepared of 400 g Chinese cabbage (B. rapa), 2 key lime (C. aurantifolia), water, and salt. The juice was taken once for 2 days during 7 weeks to enhance BMD in menopausal women (p = 0.003). This suggestion is take it before a meal at least 30 days. The advantage of the juice is important to enhance BMD, particularly extremity. The fiber is as prebiotics to improve the gut microbiome as probiotics and as a laxative to help defecation.
