Royal Jelly

The bee has long been respected for the honey it produces. Since the 19th century, scientists and doctors have recognised the tremendous nutritional value of Royal Jelly - “bee’s milk”.

Royal Jelly is the white milky substance produced in the glands of the worker bees and fed to the queen bee. Each worker bee has three separate glands; one to produce honey, another to convert honey into wax and the third to produce Royal Jelly. All bee larvae are fed Royal Jelly for the first three days and then the workers are fed on a solution of pollen and nectar. The queen only is fed Royal Jelly throughout her life. She lives four to five years in comparison to the worker who lives forty to fifty days. She grows to 17mm (12mm for the worker) and 200mg (125mg for the worker) and lays 2,000 to 4,000 eggs.

Some of the health improvements normally experienced when taking Royal Jelly are increased vitality and energy, stronger nails and hair and a more radiant complexion. Other commonly claimed benefits are help with stress management, smooth digestion, good liver function, and help with a sound sleep and alleviation of fatigue..

The nutrients include:
Vitamins	Minerals	Protein
A, C, D, E B1, B2, B3 B6 B12 Biotin Folic Acid Inositol	Calcium Copper Iron Phosphorous Potassium Silicon Sulphur	8 essential amino acids (that the body does not manufacture, but needs to be supplied) to help the immune defences

Apart from the above Royal Jelly also includes a substance that behaves like a hormone and stimulates the sexual glands and Acetylcholine (needed to allow nerve cells to function properly).

Royal Jelly cannot be imitated by science or its beneficial properties accurately understood but there is over whelming evidence that it improves health.
