ABOUT ROYAL JELLY

Royal jelly is a nutritionally balanced, extreme superfood that energizes and revitalizes like no other. Bees make royal jelly to serve as food for the queen bee (hence the name), and as a nutrient packed food for larvae and newborn bees.  While all of the bees in the hive survive on a diet of honey and nectar and live for an average of six or seven weeks, a queen bee eats only royal jelly, and can live two or three years!  For this reason it has achieved a near mythic status for its numerous health supporting benefits, though scientific research is just starting to unlock the secrets of this magical substance. 

Royal Jelly & Nutrition:  Whereas raw honey is primarily a suspension of complex sugars, water and vitamins, fresh royal jelly is a thick opaque creamy liquid that is nearly 13 percent protein by weight, including the protein Collagen, the major protein found in skin, hair and nails. Royal jelly also contains all of the essential and nonessential amino acids, with a mixture of polyunsaturated, monounsaturated and saturated fatty acids.

Royal jelly is prized for its high vitamin content, including all the B vitamins and trace amounts of vitamins A, C, D, E and K, along with flavonoids and pantothenic acid, and other phytonturient traces from the pollen, nectar and honey that bees consume for their energy. Royal jelly also contains antioxidant enzymes vital in our body's immune system, including superoxide dismutase, catalase, perosidase and gluthathione peroxidase.

Royal Jelly and Your Skin:  Royal jelly contains water-soluble collagen protein that is absorbable directly by your skin cells.  Applying royal jelly in raw honey can help rejuvenate aged and damaged skin and smooth wrinkles.

Royal Jelly and Your Immune System:  In clinical studies, a solution of just one part of fresh royal jelly in 20 parts water was shown to cause 100% mortality to staphylococcus aureus and up to 80% mortality to e coli and other bacteria after exposure to the diluted royal jelly solution.  In similar studies, fresh royal jelly suspended in honey has yielded similar results.   Other studies have documented the immune stimulating effect of royal jelly in countering flu and other viral infections.
