Natural Life Royal Jelly 1000mg 60 Soft Capsules Or 365 Soft Capsules, Source of 10-HDA
Royal jelly is a substance produced by worker bees to feed larvae and the queen bee in a honey bee colony. It’s a highly nutritious secretion that is milky-white and has a gelatinous texture. Royal jelly is often considered to be a superfood due to its rich content of vitamins, minerals, proteins, and fatty acids.
Here are some key points about royal jelly
Nutritional Composition: Royal jelly contains water, proteins, sugars (mostly glucose and fructose), lipids (including fatty acids), vitamins (B complex, particularly B5 or pantothenic acid), and minerals (such as calcium, iron, and potassium).
Health Benefits: It is believed to have various health benefits, although scientific evidence is limited and ongoing. Some claims include improving skin health, boosting the immune system, and potentially having anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.
Use in Beekeeping: Worker bees produce royal jelly in their hypopharyngeal glands and use it to feed all larvae for the first few days after they hatch. However, only larvae destined to become queens continue to be fed royal jelly throughout their development. This diet difference is what allows a larva to develop into a queen bee rather than a worker bee.
Commercial and Medical Uses: Due to its perceived health benefits, royal jelly is harvested by beekeepers and processed into various forms for human consumption, including capsules, powders, and creams. It is used in traditional medicine and as a dietary supplement in some cultures.
Safety and Allergies: While royal jelly is generally considered safe for most people when taken short-term, allergic reactions can occur, especially in individuals with allergies to bee products. It’s advisable to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen.
Royal jelly remains a subject of ongoing research to better understand its potential health benefits and applications.
