For centuries, people have been taking Royal Jelly, a substance that is literally made for royalty. The compound is created by worker bees to feed the queen bee and her larvae to promote their superior growth and development over the rest of the hive. Ancient Greeks believed Royal Jelly was part of the ambrosia that gave the gods their immortality. Cleopatra used Royal Jelly as part of her beauty routine — no doubt it helped her sway the hearts and minds of both Julius Caesar and Mark Antony. Today, 94-year-old Queen Elizabeth takes it to help boost her energy.
Over the years, scientists and health experts have learned more about the many health benefits of using Royal Jelly, and it is now widely distributed throughout the world.
What is Royal Jelly?
Royal Jelly is a milky secretion produced in the glands of worker honeybees. (That’s why you’ll sometimes hear it referred to as “bee spit,” but we’ll stick with Royal Jelly!) Royal Jelly is composed of water, carbohydrates, protein, and fat. The unique blend is fed to the queen bee and her young, causing them to grow up to 1 ½ times the size of worker bees, live longer, and become sexually mature.
Why Should Humans Take Royal Jelly?
Google “benefits of royal jelly,” and you could spend hours reading all the ways it can support the health of human beings. Here are just some of the benefits it provides:
- It’s rich with nutrients, particularly B vitamins. Royal Jelly is chock full of vitamins that do everything from support the health of your hair to your nervous system. While the nutrients can vary somewhat from batch to batch, it almost always contains:
- Biotin (Vitamin H) – helps improve the health of your skin, hair, and nails
- Niacin (Vitamin B-3) – may help lower cholesterol, improve brain function, and keep your nervous and digestive system healthy
- Riboflavin (Vitamin B-2) – assists in building red blood cells, and helps keep the skin, eyes, and nervous system healthy
- Thiamine (Vitamin B-1) – helps support the brain, nervous system, muscles, heart, stomach, and intestines
- Folic acid (B-9) – can help prevent birth defects, including spina bifida, and helps promote brain health, including possibly slowing dementia.
- It’s an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, and antibacterial. That means Royal Jelly can help diminish acne, slow the aging process, help prevent cancer and heart disease, heal wounds, and lower cholesterol and blood pressure.
- Royal Jelly can protect the pancreas, liver, and reproductive tissue in people who suffer from obesity or diabetes, since it has been shown to increase insulin sensitivity.
- It helps repair your skin. The compound helps prevent the discoloration of skin and improves collagen, which increases skin’s elasticity. It can also help diminish wrinkles.
- The proteins in Royal Jelly relax the muscle cells in your veins and arteries, which can lower blood pressure. It also assists in reducing blood glucose levels, which regulate the blood sugar.
- Royal Jelly is used to help relieve menopause symptoms. Menopausal women who took it for just eight weeks reported fewer hot flashes and night sweats, and a reduction in lower back pain.
- It’s a superb moisturizer. The liquid contains a unique fatty acid that has been shown to boost hydration levels in the skin.
By now, you’re probably seeing why Royal Jelly has been the go-to product for royalty through the ages!
