What is Royal Jelly and How Does It Benefit Me?
What is Royal Jelly?

Royal Jelly is a milk like secretion produced by worker bees to feed to the bee larvae and is the only source of food for the queen bee. Queen bees are MADE, not born, and their feeding with royal jelly is the key to that process. Without this special food, queen bees would fail to develop properly. Royal jelly is a thick, extremely nutritious, milky-white, creamy liquid secreted by the hypopharryngeal glands of the nurse bees. Queen bees live exclusively on royal jelly and it causes their incredible size and longevity.

Biochemically speaking, royal jelly is very complex. It is a rich source of proteins and contains 8 essential amino acids, important fatty acids, sugars, sterols and phosphorous compounds as well as acetylcholine. (Acetylcholine is needed to transmit nerve messages from cell to cell. Too little of this compound makes individuals prone to Alzheimer's disease.) It containc gamma globulin, known to stimulate the immune system and fight off infections. Royal jelly contains vitamins A, B-complex, C, D, and E. It is particularly useful for its B complex contents, including B1, B2, B6, B12, biotin, folic acid, and inositol. Royal jelly is high in the B vitamin pantothenic acid, recognized for its ability to reduce stress levels. It also supplies the minerals calcium, copper, iron, phosphorous, potassium, silicon and sulfur.

Health Benefits of Royal Jelly

Anti-Aging – Whether royal jelly effects the longevity of the human nature is unknown, but studies on mice showed that when fed royal jelly, the mice lived an average of 16 weeks longer than the mice not fed royal jelly.

Cholesterol – A human study done in 2007 showed that volunteers that took royal jelly on a daily basis significantly decreased their total cholesterol and LDL levels.

Cancer – A Japanese study on mice given royal jelly before being transplanted with different types of cancer cells showed that royal jelly had a dramatic effect on sarcoma cells. In the mouse that was given royal jelly, life was prolonged 5 times longer, tumors disintegrated and were about half the size of the tumors in the mouse that had not been fed royal jelly. Royal jelly has also been found to dramatically reduce the side effects of chemo and radio-therapy. The amino acids in royal jelly help the immune system to recover and help the body to defend itself against attacking microbes. The royal jelly rebuilds the good cells that were destroyed during the course of the chemo and radiation

Depression - Royal Jelly has a calming effect on neurotic, manic and depressed people working like a anti-depressant and help people to overcome emotions such as: sorrow, sadness, fear, etc. Because Royal Jelly is an energizer, people with more energy tend to have more positive thoughts and therefore tend to live more positively.

Immunity – The amino acids and gamma globulin in royal jelly helps the immune system to fight infections and works like a strong antibiotic killing all kinds of bacteria and microbes.
